Up until recently, I was dead set on getting an AR-15. 5.56 was plentiful and relatively cheap. Then the wave came, and 5.56 is worth its weight in gold. That's a great thing if you had tons of it stocked up and don't want to shoot it anymore, but not so great if you're like me: short on cash, and limited to what's available locally.
Now, I'm changing my mind. I'm getting a 12 gauge of some type because of ammunition costs and availability. I figure that I can walk into any sporting goods store in America, look at their ammunition selection, and find a case of quality 12 gauge ammunition. It won't be as cheap as it was, and it just might be a target load, but it'll be available, and inexpensive compared to some rifle ammunition. All I need the ammo for is practice, anyways.
Has the price of ammunition changed your mind on what kind of firearms you are planning to buy? If so, how drastically?
I thought this would be an interesting thread. Thanks for the replies in advance. Keep it civil.
