Not while the war's still in progress. By the time it dies down, it'll be well into jackass season on the Potomac, so it may be restricted by then anyway.

Buy early, buy often.... buy huge lots while you still can!

Buy it now if you can, i said this before.

Ammo Prices are increasing twice a month and will continue to do so for atleast the next year.

And just an FYI as of the first of May, Smith & Wesson and Savage are going to hit us with a minimum 8% to a max 14% price increase.

Reloading is looking more and more like a viable option...

Maybe if you can get scrap lead cheap and cast. But otherwise I expect component prices to rise with the cost of loaded ammo. In fact the percent difference between load ammo vs. reloading may decrease if component cost not labor cost are the primary driving force of the price rises.
