Matt Bracken guest hosts The Alex Jones Show to break down the true value of stocking up on ammunition.
I don't see the price coming down any time soon as the government continues to give away dollars by the trillions and run up the national debt while the Revolutionary Communists in Congress and their minions rioting in the streets press ahead with the coup.
Plan accordingly.
Thus the saying "Keep your powder dry"
Learn to reload.
Now.

primers are very hard to impossible to find.... same for many bullets and other components. everyone should’ve learned to reload in 2008... if you didn’t learn the lesson then, should’ve learned during Sandy Hook...
Too late to get into the reloading game without immense costs relative to the norm.

I have barely done any shooting this summer because I don’t want to deplete my stash. I will only shoot with new ammo.
Ammunition has outperformed silver in the past 12 years. That is a fact. However, it is a feast or famine market characterized by rapid periods of scarcity and long periods of large inventories.

I started back in in the 90s and have been stockpiling components all the while. I was pretty shocked last time I hit Cabelas and saw the reloading aisle COMPLETELY wiped out. I mean nothing.
You’re quite correct, of course. People should have learned from the last 5 or 6 ammo shortages.

Most of the cost of ready-to-shoots is the brass, which can be reloaded several times. Yeah, you need the other components, and tools. As others have pointed out, now is not the time to start.
“If reload do you not have to stock up on bullets and powder?”
Yep. But until recently those were available even when factory ammo was unavailable. We have enough components to make several thousand rounds of what we shoot.

Save your brass.
Ping.
We are close to Cabelas. My DH gas started checking everday for ammo just in case a shipment comes in.
Help me out.
I am one of the brand new gun owners, courtesy of Democrat leadership. Without a lot of research, I bought a Taurus 2Gs. I wish I would have purchased a 3Gc. Heck, for that matter, a Glock 19 or a Sig Sauer P320 would have been pretty sweet.
But it is what it is.
So, I have >500 rounds of 9mm.
What scenarios do you think I might need that much?
Zombie Apocalypse? The rounds would come in handy.
Neighbourhood invasion by armed Antifa fascists? How many shots would I fire with my little gun before I get taken out?
Hot civil war (yes, we are in a cold civil war right now)? Taking on heavily armed insurgents?
Somebody here help me out.
My local Cabelas is in Hoffman Estates IL.

“What scenarios do you think I might need that much?“
Learning how to shoot it well.

You should get some practice in to get

and keep 1000 rounds
in reserve.
My take.
