Method #1: Buy lots of ammo in the past, say, when zer0 was first elected. Because by that time, you knew it was coming. (So you might have already done it by then.)
This country has a massive productive capacity fir ammunition. There should be plenty. I refuse the Govt bought it all. Where is it?
If this article hasn’t been posted yet, it should be, it sounds like it has the answers.
I will be glad when this beanie baby thing is over and prices hopefully plummet.

1. We need to petition manufacturers to STOP selling to government and law enforcement agencies.
2. We need to petition Ted Cruz, Rand Paul...the GOOD guys... to pass legislation to sell BACK the ammo that they purchased over the last 2-3 years.
In early January I bought new reloading press and a number of new dies. Intent was to be sure I had fair amount of ammo for the guns I already had.
It took almost 30 days to get one shipment, but I got every piece I ordered.
Ordered some 348 brass and bullets from another supplier and that came quickly.
Shoot 30/30, 30-06, 348 and 221 fireball ammo. None of what I shoot is the popular stuff. (223, 308, 9MM, 40SW)
Was able to buy more primers, powder and some 22 ammo from small local suppliers. As well as several boxes of 30/30 ammo, not all the same bullet type. Most were 170 gr., my favorite.
Purchased some lead wheel weights and have a mold for 30 cal. bullets. Primarily for the 30/30, but could be shot in the 30-06 or a 308 in a pinch. With the right bullet lube it is good to about 1600 fps without leading. Depending on the rifle and lead in the bullet to about 2000 fps.
The toughest part was the brass, but I found some nearby once fired brass for the 30/30 and the 30-06. The rest I already had.
At this time I am in pretty good shape. And did not break the bank doing it. Be patient.
2) Most gun owners have difficulty finding ammo.
3) It turns out the government is in fact about to go around killing right-leaning citizens and rounding up the rest into work camps.
4) The government is able to disarm most Americans because they don't have sufficient ammo.
5) The government can then focus its efforts on the few "smart" preppers who are overstocked with ammo.
"Smart" preppers need to start selling some of their overstock to likeminded folks.
If you've got some jingles in your pocket and can't find ammo (or you must conserve what you have), buy a CT laser with the money and you will be putting it to good use. You'll save ammo, and will probably learn more than you can at the range. You will be amazed what you can learn about handling your weapon by practicing with laser dry fire. More amazing is the new-found accuracy you will have when you do get to the range.
Drawing and firing from concealed carry takes practice...lots of it. With the CT, you are doing three things...(1) getting your muscle coordination together while actually pulling the gun, (and as you draw, the laser is activated, so the dot shows your "sweep"), (2) acquiring the site picture quicker (and you can see your success with the dot), and (3) stopping the trigger jerk so you will stay in target during the trigger pull. You can practice (quietly) for hours, and you will be a safer and far more accurate shooter later at the range...and if necessary, later at that critical moment when accuracy counts the most.
...and you don't have to clean your gun after each session, it stays marvelously clean!
