I'd taken Paras earlier advice to heart so much that when the last "crisis" ammo shortage occurred, I sold off a bunch so folks getting new firearms could get some ammo. It adds to the resiliency.

I had slightly over 22,000 rounds of 5.56 at that time, I'm under 5000 rounds now. Similar (but lesser numbers) of 9mm and .45. Realized I didn't have that much .22 or 12 gauge, so bought a bit more of that.

Thanks Para! Good advice.

I have a pretty large order of IMI 77gr 5.56 SMK (Mk262 clone) showing up today from the good folks at SG.
I have a ton of M193 and M855 stocked up so I've been concentrating on getting more of the higher end stuff.

According to Vista Outdoor, “an anticipated global shortage of gunpowder” has created a need for increased ammunition prices. The Minnesota-based firm’s corporate overview boasts “41 renowned brands that design, manufacture, and market sporting and outdoor products.” This week, customers received a letter stating that the new price hikes would be across the board, beginning on January 1.

Just got an email from my distributor as well that cost increases and wait time going up next month.

This was part of an order from February. Delivered in six weeks. I’m still waiting for 12ga and 5.56 from this order.
