Obama Era #2, what to stock up on now.

(1/3) > >>

I remember during the first Obama election how scarce ammo got, the and corresponding price increases that stuck.

I was not into reloading back then so can someone tell me what happened with reloading components?  I reload .223, .45, 9mm and 300 win mag.  Did prices go up a lot, did some stuff get scarce and other abundant?

What components should have the highest priority to stock on, based on what happened last time?
I tend to buy lots of primers, powder second, then bullets.

For .223 I am sitting on 1K in bullets in powder but have 7K primers lol!  I think I only own 500 brass though.

What about high power stuff, any effect on that?

Any information is appreciated.

Last time around primers were impossible to find.

And the price almost doubled..... and stayed there.  Still is.

bkoenig:
As soon as my latest order shows up I'll have somewhere in the neighborhood of 15,000 primers so hopefully I can ride this one out.
 :D

Cool I have been correct in buying primers.

What happened to powder and bullets?  Did those prices skyrocket?  Were they hard to find?
