Re: Have ammo prices affected your shooting habits?
I purposely shoot more now just to flaunt my white halves privilege. Going to the range will now replace polo as the rich mans sport. Hell I’m going to go outside and shoot strait up into the air like a Bandido at a Mexican wedding just because I can.
Range lanes should now be set up like casinos where the $1 and $5 dollar tables (aka poor people) shooting .22lr and other similar gross calibers should be segregated to one side away from the high rollers shooting the .60 round and up calibers. You should get free booze served by hot cocktail girls and tips are given in 9mm.

Re: Have ammo prices affected your shooting habits?
I do have time for reloading but am not shooting as much because I'm getting older and less motivated. I do shoot frequently enough to keep the flinch reflex suppressed though.

Re: Have ammo prices affected your shooting habits?
Been shooting (getting rid of) Federal 36gr trying to accept the poor accuracy as it's OK, fired from my recently acquired 10/22 standard, with the goal of shooting numbers of rounds with zero malfunctions. AKA break-in and fluff and buff.
Today I reached for the very few remaining CCI standard velocity .22LRs that I have and put 5 into a nickel at 50 yards. I was getting concerned about the rifle and the scope. WOW! What a difference. And what a relief.There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.

Re: Have ammo prices affected your shooting habits?
I just realized there could be less people signing up for training classes next year due to lack of ammo availability, so I am signing up for three handgun training classes in 2021. Only 1800-ish rounds required for those 3 classes.

Re: Have ammo prices affected your shooting habits?
I live 1.0 miles from the Alburtis R&G Club. Yesterday the Range Officer told me that they've added 700 new members this year. It's not very busy though, almost certainly because of the lack of ammo.
