    Ahh... I was just about to say that someone ripped you off. LOL


    It was going for $40 BEFORE things went nuts.

    Now the shame of it all. I'm still setting back that money every paycheck for when the supplies return at a decent price.
    Not to screw the next guy, but to ensure that I can do what it is I want to do.

    Thank you Emptymag... well said!

    I have bust through the door / home invasion ammo, but not enough for my range purposes. Sandy Hook caught me off guard (I should have reacted and ran to Wallys for resupply).

    the ranges have been pretty busy for there being an ammo shortage. I took about 400 rounds to the range this past Saturday to test new loads. I felt bad shooting more then 5 of each....even the ones that weren't shooting well. I did shoot 2 boxes of .40 federal hxts and 1 box of Underwood 10mm. Felt it in my gut. Like a waste of money, but I needed to shoot these guns just for confidence sake. Havent shot my Sig in like a year....shot the mag out of my carry pistol just to reload it. Got a good load now for the AR so I can load up a big batch.

    For the most part it is a matter of opinion. The term "hoarder" tends to have psychiatric implications, although this can be merely an opinion as well. It also can be a used in a jealous moment when someone has items that another person wants or needs, which probably better describes this thread. Is it a problem to have things like ammunition, stored food and lots of funds for retirement? I say no, assuming those things are affordable for the individual. But if the person is neglecting their mortgage, car payments, and taxes, as well as their ability to perform their job and any other daily things needed to get by in order to "hoard" things, then there could be a problem.
    ...and they have a plan...

    I'm not sure you caught the fact that my post was 100% sarcasm.

    Things are starting to get tight here. I went to my local gun shop and was limited to only one box of .380. They never rationed ammo before. They were also out of 9mm. Another shop had no pistol ammo but .44 Magnum and .45ACP hollowpoints. Dicks, (like I shouldn't have even wasted my time) had no pistol ammo whatsoever.

    I've recently got into pistol shooting, been shooting rifles for years. I guess it was a bad time to get into it with the ammo shortage but having 2 jobs I have been able to amass a fair amount of pistol ammo and continue picking it up every chance I get. For my 9mm n 40 s&w I've got a small amount put back just in case but i am running low on 22lr. That's the hard one for me to find. My lgs has a 555 rd box of 22 but I don't wanna pay the 80.00 price tag! I can guarantee ammo starts coming back in stock n prices return to normal or close I will be one of those guys the op is complaining about cause I'm not goin without again.
