Let's say that this pandemic causes the companies that make guns and ammo, the stores that sell ammo, etc. to close for 3 months. That means you're out of a source to buy more ammo unless you either have a big stockpile of ammo or you reload and already have a stockpile of primers, bullets, and powder.
So, the only way for you to shoot at your range, be it one you're a member to or your backyard, is if you have a lot stocked away.
What I shoot the most is .22 and stuff I reload like .32 and .45. I could use more bullets, going to make that order this week, and primers are always necessary so I figure I'll be buying a few thousand more of those too. Powder tends to last a long time when you're using handgun calibers and flake powders like Unique.
So, I'm pretty well set, but most people who own guns don't reload and they think once the ammo is gone, it's gone.
I don't blame them, but if you only own a couple of guns in the common calibers like .22, .223/5.56, 9mm... why did you not already have 5000 rds of .22 and 1000 rds of .223/5.56 and 9mm already?
