When milsurp 9mm, 223, 308 being so cheap. The only reason to reload anymore,is to get special defensive ammo, and many are too chicken to do even that. I'd not be without a simple c press, components, mold, etc, in case something happens to make ammo 10x or more as expensive as it is now.
However, the only things likely to really drive up ammo prices will mark the time that nooone's going to be practicing or shooting matches, anyway. When it's time to fight, guns will mean almost nothing. All that a gun will be good for is covering your butt while you burn off all the trees, grain fields, oil fields, refineries, granaries, shipyards, wreck trains, poison the food in the stores,etc. You will have to kill tens of MILLIONS of people to make any difference at all. Sniping a few hundred wont even be noticed. Take Big Brother's MONEY, however, and he can't PAY his thugs. Every million $ in damage that you do, is 20 jbt's that Big Brother can't PAY, (for an entire year) Such jerks do NOT work for free, you know, and it's EASY to cause BILLIONS of $ to be lost, with little or no risk to yourself, and without ANYONE knowing but yourself.
