Seems like all the places I buy my bullets from are outa stock,So just how much of the supply was bought by those that speculate and might end up eating them like the clowns that bought up the TeePee paper? One of the places I buy from has already told buyers your stuck if you try to return unsold product.

A lot more bullets available at Midway this week than last week, 9mm anyway.
I think we've 'flattened the curve' on component hoarding this time.
Probably because we are still well stocked from the last panic, well most of us anyway.
Put some bullets on back order and have a beer.

I'm good, bought most of my supplies during the summer , big 4th of July sales.
Yep learned hard lessons on shortages back in the Clinton era, haven't had an issue since with any components. That and learning to csst me own several years ago and I'm set. Heck my grandsons probably are too...
There are diminished supplies on shelves, but they will pop in and out of stock as time rolls on. Just need to be patient and pay attention to your favorite suppliers and order when you can. Some that allow backorder might be your primary sources.

I go to a lot of estate/ live auctions where the seller was a reloader, so I have enough lead, primers, bullet molds, cases, to last the rest of my lifetime. But none of my kids or grandkids are interested in reloading, so I guess someone will pick up what I have left at my estate auction.

I had the foresight to stock up.
But, my ranges are closed. So I can't even shoot what I have loaded.
I have a non-bullet order in processing for over 10 days at MidsouthshootersSupply.
Berrys was out of stock on many bullets last time I checked.
The TP supply has recovered. I am sure bullet supply will, too. Hand sanitizer? I don't know.

We are what, 5 or 6 weeks into the new round of panic buying and hoarding? Where have you been, Buckey?
Since you were told something, I suspect you are shopping local stores. Now might be the time to branch out and try your hand at internet purchasing. For example, I use a 6.5 Grendel. I just checked Midway and they have quite a few 6.5 offerings I could load, not all choices are available, but several are. You didn't state what you were trying to load, but you still have some potential options out there.

I learned the hard way during the Obozo years, big shortages. I vowed never again to get cough without reloading supplies. Now I buy in bulk whenever there is a sale. I shoot a lot, so having a large inventory is a must. I got all of mine during the summer with 4th of July and Memorial day sales...I suggest you do the same.
