The only thing that would effect me is the .22 rimfire and primer prices. I have plenty of powder and lots of primers......for now! I shoot lots of pistol and I use a lot of small pistol primers for the competitive pistol shooting I do. I also have plenty of bullets for now. After the first of the year I am going to order 5K of .38 target bullets.
The last time that I saw 22Lr go on sale before Cabela's became Bass Pro Jr I picked up 5,000 rounds so I'm good for the duration with them. This past summer Natchez had a price that I couldn't beat on .40 S&W so I picked up 1000 rounds of CCI reloadable brass case rounds, so I'm good to go with them.
Before that the only factory rounds that I shot were the 22Lr, and I try and pick up the bullets that I need for the next couple of years when I find them.
But with me switching over to black powder hunting for the most part I don't really need to worry about the smokeless powders, primers and bullets. However I'll pick up a couple hundred Barnes .25 bullets for my 25-06 that I'll use on any pronghorn hunt that I draw in the future. I already have over 500 old 30-06 brass that will be converted over to the .25. That and I have plenty of primers still so I think that I am set for a while.

We have a farm & ranch supply store called Big R in Cortez, Co that I shop at. A couple of weeks ago I bought 1000 small pistol primers for less than $80. They had plenty of all sizes of primers on the shelf and lots of powder and bullets. This store is like Murdoch's Ranch & Home in Wyoming.
I can still not find some of the ammo I shoot. Eventually when I do find it I’ll pay whatever it is cause I’m almost out. Sad
