Why do I have 600 rounds of 30-30 ammo?

[thatguy]

I only have one rifle in this caliber and I never do anything more serious than plink with it. I bought the gun last year so I immediately picked up dies and started buying brass. Before I knew it, 600 rounds on the shelf. I doubt that I need more than 40 for as much as I use this gun. I always do this. I go overboard all the time.

Jeez. I also have 600 rounds of 30-40 Krag.

It's a sickness...

So you don't have to buy ammo for a while?

 

[Bear Gulch]

You never know when you'll need it.

 

[bad LT]

You could always give it to me

 

[Nitram68]

You need to buy a Barrett .50 BMG and move next door to me

If your neighborhood is invaded by hostile whitetails you will rule!

I bought my 30-30 used in '88. I shot 2 deer, 2 hogs, and some paper with it, and I'm on my second box of shells.

'Course, I have thousands in 7.62x39, .22lr, .45acp, etc.....nothing wrong with lots of ammo! I just shoot my other guns way more than the 30-30.

Take 'em apart and reload 'em again!

I have two .30-30s and I know I don't have anymore than 30 rounds on hand. I think it is closer to 15 to 20 rounds. I probably do need at least a 100. Heck I have a full box of 50 .357 Sig and .357 Sig dies and I don't even own one!

I just bought a Winchester Model 94 AE 30-30.

[ftierson]

I only have a couple of rounds of .30-30 Win. on hand...

Really...

Well if the deer hit the fan you'll be so ready.

Well if the deer hit the fan you'll be so ready.

I think he'd need a shovel and some disinfectant more than ammo in that case.

 

[Ed]

Get it while you can. 30-30 ammo is armored piercing you know.

 

[secluded]

Sounds to me like your 400 rounds short

I thought you were only supposed to have ammo in 1,000 round quanities?

 

[DillHarris]

sounds to me like your building up to tell your wife you need another rifle in 30-30.

 

[Z_Infidel]

Why not go out and shoot a bunch of it? I really enjoy shooting my Marlin 336, and the only reason I don't shoot it a lot more often is the cost of the ammo.

 

[Tinker]

What do you call 600 round of ammo?

(Inserting a punchline from an old lawyer joke)

A good start.

 

[Gewehr98]

You're well on your way!

1000 rounds per gun, rule of thumb.

 

[CoolRide]

600 rounds????
I still have a partial box I got WITH my marlin 30-30 for xmas of 1980.

I don't shoot it much.
