How much do you want, how much of the sort that you desire can you find, and how much of that can you afford? Where those 3 questions intersect, we each have our answer. Personally, I'm at this stage where I'm going through a lot of target- or match-quality .22lr, which means the stuff from...

Uplula for years ... and now the 10/22 version. Yes, I know 10/22 mags are not hard to load. But in the cold when you've got to load a half-dozen mid-match or when you need to load a whole bunch of 10/22 mags, the little Uplula is sweet!

Best instructor I've ever had or taught with included the advice in his classes wash your hands after you shoot and carry something (Wet Wipes, anti-lead wipes, etc) to do so with. And he did so when he shot, too. Since so much of his teaching/advice proxied on-point, I tried to make it a...

True, but not entirely accurate. The run on ammo began in March '20 and was in full swing by the end of summer. I'm fairly sure DJT was president.

Nope. Was made in Germany (Lapua/SK), but in 2018 it went to Eley in England. Now wears the E headstamp.

Twenty-twos are a gas and, comparatively, cheap to shoot. I don't consider myself particularly a .22lr guy or a fanatic or anything, but somehow a half-dozen of of 'em snuck into my safe. They're like potato chips in that regard ... another one always seems like a good idea.

Local paper here did one in March of '20 and a follow in January of '21: https://www.tribstar.com/news/local_news/ammo-and-guns-selling-at-breakneck-pace/article_1f2da0bd-c65c-5226-8472-a027626f5373.html...

I've actually gotten rid of a few long guns I wasn't shooting ... but somehow managed to pick up my second Shield and my second LCP. And now I'm eyeballing a Kidd Super Grade .22. It does seem there's never a net reduction, that's for sure.

The more usable space in the safe let me take a bunch of stuff from on top the safe, which let me tidy up my bench. Got an under-shelf basket at the Academy today and switched from from the motion-activated light bar off Amazon to 3 little dome lights with a remote that I picked up at Lowe's...

So, I installed a back-of-door organizer panel for my safe. Was made by (or at least sold by) the same company that makes my safe, Liberty. I only have one question: Why did I not do this sooner? Thing installed in about 2 minutes, fits perfect and just opened up a crap-ton of useful space in my...

I do original box inside ammo cans, with a 2 or 3 desiccant packs (lately, Dry & Dry 30 grams) inside the ammo can. If I don't have original box, a zip lock with the air pressed out for bulk, a plastic ammo box such as MTM Case-Gards for premium stuff. These also go into ammo cans.

Which Lubriplate? They make about a zillion varieties. I've used the SFL-0 grease on several firearm applications with zero problems.

I've made a handful orders straight from CCI of late. Prices certainly aren't pre-pandemic, but they're reasonable for the times. Gotten some Minimag, Blazer and SV. Have gifted some, too. The shipping does take, as their site says, 15 to 20 days. No biggie for me. It pays to strike early...

OK, a question about European .22lr ammo like the Lapua/SK, RWS and Eley lines: Can they, too, not make it fast enough, or is the problem getting it to and into the U.S., or is it coming in but getting snapped up super fast? Prior to this panic, you could pick a brick of middling match .22 like...

I've got Ballistol, G96 and Kroil. Also Hoppe's solvent. Usually have all four those, plus some MPro7, around. They all work. Gotta admit, though, when I just want a drop of lube, I fairly often grab the Mobil 1. For a grease, I'm partial to Lubriplate SFL-0 the majority of the time, but if I...

Joe Mantegna shoots the clay games, as well as some action pistol, I believe.

Kurt Cobain and the Browning Auto 5

Clark Gable was into Parker doubleguns.

Going to have to get me some of those big Ziplocs. I am a master at losing springs and pins.
