Arguably, reloading does not make a lot of economical sense if you shoot infrequently with the availability and price of ammo (especially 9mm) falling like it has over the last year. Supply has caught up with demand and it appears the panic of 2013 is over. But, it’s not the price of ammo that you should be worried about—it’s the availability.
With Justice Scalia’s untimely death and the uncertainty if Obama is going to be successful in appointing a liberal (read: anti-gun) justice in his place, can we expect a shortage in ammo, guns, and reloading supplies?
If you are a reloader, you will always use the supplies which last for decades if stored properly. If you quit reloading, you can always find a buyer for your stuff (as long as it hasn’t become illegal). So, I don’t think it imprudent to stock up a little.
If you are not into reloading, now may be the time to start. If nothing else, powder and primers are the most at risk. Bullets and equipment will be easier to get. Get powder and primers now, and the rest later. If nothing comes of it over the next year, sell of trade it for other stuff.
