Lucky I have 15,000 rounds or so. I am seriously contemplating taking some of my stuff to the next show and putting it out. People are panic buying right now, and for good reason. If my book on building 80% AR lowers was still in print, it'd be flying off the shelves.

I cast a lot of my own bullets, and I should probably start loading a bunch of 9mm. I think I have 10,000 pistol primers or so, which is the hard to find component in these times. I could most likely make a killing. Pardon the pun.
I did find 500 rounds of .380 for .71 per.... Steep AF but I bought them anyway. I also just picked up 750 rounds of 9mm 124g for about .56 per. Not panic buying but needed some. That and the 400 rounds of 00 buck will hold me for a minute...
