The time to stock up on ammo is before the inevitable panic.
;-)
You can occasionally find cruddy Tula steel-cased ammo. Also, if you get up very early and work out some sort of arrangement with the stock clerks at Wally World or Academy Sports, you may be able to get a few boxes of .223.
Forget reloading, you can’t find the components right now.
That is another thing to stock up on before the panic.
Don’t worry about it though. I think the ammo supply will slowly return to normal in the next couple of months.
Hope you are right.. I have orders (back orders) on ammo

(I still envy your sweet deal)
There have been recent reports (this week) of Tula Brass Maxx ammo coming into some Walmarts. Several calibers. Brass case, boxer primed, jacketed lead bullet made in Italy. Possibly contracted from Fiocchi? .223 at about $0.39 per round. I have only heard of it. Not seen any personally.
