The price for ammunition at the local ranges is exorbitant, but they are the only one’s with any. It’s a good deal for them...they sell firearms and then if you want to use them, they’ve got the ammo. They discourage using home-made, but as long as you don’t rent a weapon from them, they can’t really do anything about it.

"I once read that .380 was a "seasonal" round..."Same with .30-40 Krag. Even in a normal year, it was mostly out of stock except for a few months around deer season.
Of course things would have to be pretty bad to be forced to break out the Krag.

Now all Obamas EPA has to do is limit and restriction the raw materials needed for ammo production.
Or restrict shipments across state lines or any one of a dozen other coups they can attempt.

Popular powder supplies have always been up and down, but there has been a whole lot of people taking up handloading.
A friend of mine that wants to take up handloading is working in Oregon. He said the west coast has a better supply of everything than what he’s seen here in Texas.

Long term storage of gasoline (and to a lesser extent, food) is more problematic.

.38spl and .44spl is cheaper to used for practice than .357mag and .44mag.

The title should be reworded to say “..Manufacturers Producing ‘24 Hours a Day’ to ..Supply the Same Small Handful of Guys Who Show Up Every Tuesday Morning at Walmart and Just Happen to All Have Resale Accounts On Ebay And Other Online Shopping Websites.” There...fixed it.

Yeah, that too. I use .38 SPL wadcutters for training and couldn't find them anywhere, or ball, or anything but the self-defense loads that you have to take out a loan to buy. Baby bro reloaded me a can, wrapped it in Christmas paper and set it under the tree without telling me what it was. He was snickering as I durn near ejected a couple vertebrae trying to lift it. I'da kilt him if I weren't so grateful.
I have some .308 inbound from a source I've never used before, but then you can't be too picky these days. They seem like nice folks except for that "death to the infidels!" stuff... ;-)

The only reason there is bread on the shelves every time you go to the store is because there is bread on the shelves every time you go to the store. As soon as the supply is disrupted people will buy as much as they can when they can. For perishable items like bread, panic buying will stop when people realize they have more than they are likely to use before it goes bad.
For non-perishables like ammo, panic buying will stop once people realize they have a lifetime's supply. I'm not currently buying, since I stocked up a while back.

What I can't figure out is the panic on .22 LR ammo. It isn't as if anyone is threatening to make that stuff harder to get (yet). It's almost as if...naw, couldn't be...it's almost as if people are making a political statement by purchasing it... .22 is relatively cheap, and a .22 to the head will stop a rioter just as quick as a .308 to the head. And your supply will last longer.

“...22 lr box of 500 used to run about 20-25 bucks....”
I remember $8-10-a-Brick of Remington “Golden” .22LRs, back in the late 90s. I also remember cases of 6,250 Remington .22LR for $98, back in the mid-80s, at gun shows.

“What I can’t figure out is the panic on .22 LR ammo.”
This may help you understand why people are buying up .22 ammo. Plus, everybody has at least one .22 rifle/pistol.
Very informative post on just how effective this little round can be!

The shortage isn’t nearly as bad as the jacked-up prices.
