Even mostly prepared folks might hurt by the end of this one. I don’t see an end in sight right now, and I’ve got maybe another year before I run short of some stock. Other stock I can stretch further. That’s assuming I continue my current shooting habits. Of course not only do I supply my ammo, but ammo for my kids. Thank goodness my son got into .45 as I have a good bit of LPP.
I don’t see all stock returning to normal within a year. Guys who shoot odd ball calibers will be in this conundrum much longer. I highly doubt a lot of 6.5 carcano, 7mm-08, or other less common calibers get any attention from manufacturers right now. And it will be after there is a very good stock of common calibers before we start to see any production shift to the lesser common calibers. Yeah I get it, that’s why we reload. Still, I doubt many .323 or .312 projectiles are being made right now. I see 2+ years before some of this stuff trickles back in.
