No, but having bought a good bit of ammo in '08 (7,000 rds.+), shoot some .22 to reduce the need to shoot much 7.62x39/54R or surplus .303.
Just traded 1,900 rds. of .223 (+ $20) for 2,000 rds. x39 during a long road trip on Saturday.
My trading partner is a really good guy, highly recommended, and he would have traded for even more.
The fear of high fuel and commodity prices (in spring/summer '08) staying high gave me the incentive to buy all that I could afford.
When the election came, it was very baffling that legions of experienced shooters had assumed that the GOP would probably win, contrary to most indications in the press.
Mob mentality was the result.
