ROTF! Haha, I wish. Thought you were interpreting ammo drought to be "I need some and can't find any". Not as "I only have 100M rounds and am getting nervous". Still, like you, I have way too much damned ammo. Was reflecting on the difference between my grandfather and me. He made his own bullets, and they were precious as the raw materials, and the cost just to heat it up so as to be pouring lead, etc etc, took money and time away from other productive farm work. He would shoot a few rounds to confirm sighting in prep of hunting season, and the deer took 1 bullet almost all of the time.
We took the shotguns out after climbing a bit back, and we may have used more 12 ga ammo to simply knock some clays out the sky than my grandpa used in his life:-) Fish haul bag there, no shotgun holes in it.
Of note this trip. Took the rest of my grandpas 12 ga shells out and shot them. There were no failures in approx 30-40 shells, and that ammo was over 50 years old and had not been stored properly in the 50 years I knew about.

Was that a 500 rd brick?
Still under a dime,.....
Sorry you missed the boat. The good news is that I've got a first class stateroom, with all my luggage on board. The bad news is that its the Titanic.
Couch,
when I competed with the .45-70 using black powder, the bullets were 550gr melted down tire weights!
Edit;

Was stumbling around a bunch of sporting goods stores this weekend looking for some canvas repair tape and noticed all the racks were FULL of every type of gun a person would want. Racks and Racks of AR-15s, AK-47s, You name it and they have plenty. And on every floor space, Boxes and boxes of ammo. of all types including 22s, Price for basic AR was around $800 or so Pistols-A-Plenty. Most stores now have more items than before the big scare...The newspapers have plenty of Ads selling private sales for cheap most say NIB...

Things are certainly looking up ammo wise.
I just purchased 1000rds of 5.56x45 for 250 bucks off some fear mongering dumbass who apparently broke the bank in the ammo scare. He was offloading about 10K, who knows how much he was actually keeping. Hate to think what he paid for all that buying here in Cali mid shortage. Check Craigslist, people are starting to offload, as I predicted they would.
I told him I had some tulips for sale, but apparently he's learned his lesson.
Anyway, thank goodness that nonsense is coming to and end. I can finally pull out the more popular chambered hardware again.
