The craziness let everyone check their Doomsday Scenario Plans in the Guns & Ammo Dept. So? What did we learn?
1) I buy primers, powders & what-not when the prices are down. This assures that I always have a pile of components AND I pay the lowest cost over time. Reloaders score double in the self-reliance category.
2) I learned that I could see the obvious areas to take a hit, the assault rounds, hi-cap mags, and other Evil Accessories. I didn't imagine that things like the standard, dime-a-dozen 9mm would be so affected. That was a surprise.
3) Having a variety of toys in different configs and calibers meant I could let a few things go and Cash In on the inflated prices. cha -Ching!!
4) Don't under-estimate the impact of Fear, Panic, & Greed.
Any other personal insights?
