Even if you think you paid "too much" for ammo now, even if there isn't any restrictive legislation, in a year or three, it will seem like a bargain. I have a good many primers I hoarded in 93 and 94 during the Clinton scare. Looking at the boxes, about the most I paid was $11.95, and some I got for less than $10.00. Same with ammo. I have bricks of .22 Cyclones I paid $7.95 for.

Another way I look at it: I hope to retire in a year or two. Even if the price does go down, I can afford it easier now than I will be able to when I'm on retirement pay. I'd rather stockpile some ammo now and not have to worry about buying it on retirement income.

What I need to do is convert some of the powder/primers/cases/bullets I have hoarded over the years into loaded ammo.
