Ammo craziness
So how is everyone in the county and area doing with the ammo shortage. I thought it was bad under Obama.
Between the new gun owners, the riots, and the virus, otherwise known as the perfect storm.

Re: Ammo craziness
Buy stupid amounts of ammo in the good times. Sooner or later, that stupid becomes genius.
My problem is I bought a stupid amount of .22LR times five, lol.

Re: Ammo craziness
I was selling ammo in late May for twice what it was priced in January. I've since sold out.
I was even selling my own personal reserves ( WWIII supply ! ).
When prices return to normal ( when ? ), I'll have to stock up again." it's two am, the gun is still warm "

Re: Ammo craziness
No... having 50K rounds of anything is still stupid.

Plenty of people shoot 10k plus in a year. That*s just 200 a week. Originally Posted by JAKIII

Re: Ammo craziness
A couple thousand of each caliber you shoot, plus 10k or 20k of .22LR isn't that unreasonable. More if you shoot a lot. Your reaction to a year-long ammo panic should be a big yawn. Originally Posted by JAKIII

Re: Ammo craziness
For me. Maybe not for someone else. A guy with several kids could easily burn a brick of .22 a week. I*m sure there are guys at Knob Creek that shoot 50k in a year. Originally Posted by JAKIII
