There's an old saying, "Keep your powder dry!" This basically means to wait before taking action, but be ready to take action if it is necessary.
The powder refers to gunpower.
For those who have stockpiled ammunition, the possible shortage of gunpowder will have less of an impact. But for those who haven't, keep what you have ready for possible necessary use. Also, you may want to start stockpiling ammo before prices start climbing.
Ammunition prices are set to rise "substantially" due to an anticipated global shortage of gunpowder.

"We must therefore raise our pricing to help offset those increases."
