Who can actually afford to shoot right now?

I bet she doesn’t know what ammo cost now either.

She on a need-to-know basis, and she doesn't need to know.

Out of the blue, my wife just told me she's worried about the election, and that I should buy more ammo. She doesn't know how much I have, but it doesn't matter. Whatever it is, it's not enough.

Wife told me a few days ago, "You should order more ammo."

She's funny, that's why I keep her around.

"Whatever it is, it's not enough." - No truer words have been said about keeping excess ammo in stock.

Isn't Dicks all out of the business? Around PGH they gave up their FFLs and were shipping back items and paperwork early this year around Feb/Mar

Anyone loading 300BO or 308win, I saw RMR has 200K of the MK319 SOST projectiles. They work great in supersonic 300BO and 308win.
I haven't seen them for sale since 2015 when Midway was selling them as overruns..

I ordered 500.
30 cents a piece would have turned me off 3 months ago.

Our armory had an indoor range but only .22 was allowed, we had kits for our M16's, Bolt and magazine, that was it, swap took 1 minute. Relaxing way to spend lunch. I'm looking for one for my new sportII, will be my xmas present to myself .
While cleaning the cellar last month I came across 8 boxes of federal .22's in 550 rd size, used to take my son and daughter, pre-teen and a couple of their friends to the range with yard sale 22's I found, single parent kids with just a mother. Bag of balloons, stack of targets, cooler full of soda, munchies and a 550 round box of 22's, kept em busy for 5 or 6 hours. That was 20 years ago, price on the box was $5.50 from the local hardware store in town, mid to late 90's.

Optics planet pisses me off with their business practices... BUT desperate times call got desperate measures.

I looked through their ammo and found blazer brass in 500 round loose pack for 135$. Is it more than we are used to paying? Sure. Is it the best price you are likely to find right now? Yep.

Most companies won't even take back orders. So i placed an order. At least going into it, I knew it was backordered. If they were just up front all of the time, I'd have less so complain about.

Anyway, the cheapest american ammo i saw (yeah, I'm a snob) was .24 cents per round for aluminum case ammo. That of course is before tax.

The backorder is estimated to be 1-3 months. My advice, swallow your pride and take what you can get. Things aren't getting any better.

I just checked my Optics Planet order. The Sierra bullets that were shown in stock are now 7 weeks out. I'm hoping for Christmas, but I'll settle for Easter, LOL.

[West Chester]

Yeah, how?
If dare's somefin ta know, we wanna know, ya know?

The in stock/back order/keep changing timelines.

A QD mount for a can. Ordered two when showing in stock, waited and they never arrived, backorder kept changing dates and after a bunch of emails and a phone call I got them to cancel my order. No way to do business. Be honest about stock status and back order dates.
