Handloading and bullet casting reduces one's dependence during times like this. Granted, we still need primers and powder, but it is much cheaper to keep a good supply of these items on hand than it is to keep a large supply of commercially loaded ammo on hand. I simply grab a brick of some sort of primer, and a pound of some sort of powder any time I'm in a gun store (between the mass panic attacks). Never takes long to acquire a fair amount of both.
