Zinc, I think you deserve an award for the Funniest TFL Quote of June 2016, at least so far.

I don't know if this fire will have an effect on prices but it couldn't help.

I bought reloading supplies over the last year and a half I have enough for about 4 years of shooting if I buy nothing more. I bought a little at a time when I had extra money. Being 69 yo and retired I shoot quite a bit.

Ehh... I'm sure buying has ticked up some but I still see ammo in stock at normal prices lots of places. Pmags haven't shot up to $80.00 per like they did after Sandy Hook. Grafs has tons of .223 projectiles for under $0.10 per unit.

It's been over a week and things have picked up, but there's not a "run" yet. Let's keep it that way. Purchase as normal

I traded for a 12 gauge pump last week and went to WM yesterday for some ammo. I bought a box of 25 00 buck shot for just under $12. It's a gun from the 40s that requires 2 3/4" shells. They will last me a long time because I was "satisfied" after 3 rounds. Shoot one of them and you will understand "kick like a mule".
