No more Lake City ammo? - 2023 Update Post #22

[dunno]

This is an expected thing now, so buy while available at lowest price or wait through the cycle again. I have plenty of both factory ammo and plenty of primers and powder to reload for the next few years without touching my factory stuff.

This^^^

Buy, Buy, Buy now anyway, we are on the eve of an election and we all know what is going to happen in a few months with gun & ammo prices, every 4 year election cycle the Left ramps up their anti rhetoric to excite their base with laws and restrictions that can't possibly pass or lawfully be enforced but it does indeed drive prices up and create a hording demand.

I*m all about hoarding. One of my pass times is going into Fudd mom and pop or Walmart joints and buying up all the 30-30 or 30-06. It*s best to pull this in the week before state wide deer season opens.

Be sure to hang after the sale to listen to the fudds come in and complain they can*t find that annual box of ammo to purchase. It*s absolute nectar.

Well maybe not nectar. Nectar would be nonalcoholic beer. I should probably use the same Jammie on buying nonalcoholic beer. And hang around after to watch the over muscled nitwits of Eastern European extraction lose their minds over not being able to find any.

I really hope 22LR disappears again for no good reason.

Yea, I didn't get the whole .22 thing either but at the same time I didn't want to be the guy who didn't have it and ended up participating in that madness. To this day I have so much .22 it is stupid and that is after donating to a group that works with kids.

I think I still have about 15k rounds. WHY?!?!? LOL

15k? Childs play lol.

i never understood the 22lr craze either. i barely shoot mine as i get to bored with it.

Yes I always found the 22LR obsession a bit befuddling.

Back when I was a very active competitor in smallbore rifle in school, I think I went through 20K rounds in a year. We were shooting five days a week and doing 2 dozen matches a year.

So most of the hoarders of it, I doubt they shoot anything close to that. Even most folks that classify themselves as shooters probably only shoot once a month or a few times a year and then how much do they really shoot?

Now I guess if one wants to protect against future supply issues and price shocks, hey buy it cheap, stack it deep.

Pouring magazines full on steel from my 15-22 is a hoot. Only do that a couple times a year though. My .22 will last to the grave at this point.

I think it depends on how many kids you have at home. When mine got good enough I would get them set up, hand them a box or two of .22's and they would sit there popping them off. Some days we would go thru a brick.

Now that they are older and not living here I haven't gone thru a brick in a long time.

What's so hard to understand about people being able to afford 22LR a lot more than any other caliber?

Hell, even I can afford 1,000 rds of 22.
