The speaker strongly advises viewers to stock up on ammunition proactively.

AmmoSquared offers a service to help individuals budget and stockpile ammunition over time. Co-founder Danielle Morton explains that the system allows users to set budgets and payment intervals, with ammunition physically stored in their warehouses. This provides a secondary cash location for ammo, mitigating risks like natural disasters and ensuring availability during shortages, while also facilitating consistent training by automating shipments.

This video explains the current ammunition and gunpowder shortages, citing global events and supply chain disruptions. It identifies five key calibers to stockpile: 12 Gauge (buckshot), .22 LR, 9mm, 5.56x45mm NATO, and .308 Winchester, detailing their utility and value. The speaker also provides guidance on building a strategic ammunition reserve.

The video argues that the US government is actively strangling the civilian ammunition supply through three primary methods: diverting all newly produced US ammunition to Europe, controlling essential components like brass, gunpowder, and primers, and dictating production to focus almost exclusively on NATO calibers. This strategy, according to the speaker, is not related to foreign aid but is a deliberate effort to control civilian firearm ownership by controlling the ammunition supply. The speaker urges viewers to stock up on ammunition due to potential future shortages.

The Magic Prepper discusses the ongoing ammunition shortage, emphasizing its continuation past November due to factors like panic buying, supply chain issues, and potential election-related restrictions.

The video highlights specific calibers like 5.56, 9mm, 300 Blackout, and .308, noting their current scarcity and recommending local gun stores as a better source than big box retailers.

This video provides a detailed comparison of Minuteman Ammunition against Hornady Critical Duty and Winchester White Box for self-defense, training, and stockpiling. The instructor, demonstrating significant expertise in ballistics and ammunition performance, concludes that Minuteman Ammunition is a viable option for all three categories due to its balanced performance and cost-effectiveness. The testing involved chronographic data from multiple firearms with varying barrel lengths, highlighting the importance of ammunition selection based on intended use.

This video provides an expert-level comparison of 7.62x39 ammunition for AK pistols, featuring ballistic gel tests on Wolf Mil-Spec FMJ, Hornady Black SST, and Tula Soft Point. The instructor, demonstrating experienced authority, highlights Hornady Black SST as the top performer for expansion and retention, while Wolf FMJ is a cost-effective, effective option. Tula Soft Point underperformed due to insufficient velocity from the short barrel.
