I keep reading threads in various places, some fella saying something like ' ....well, I was looking under the bench, and found a case of XYZ I had forgotten about ...'
I just shake my head. How does one forget about ammo ? Especially these days with it being so dear.
Anyway, I was on a local forum, and a member there wants to trade some ammo for possibly some 22LR. I can use the ammo he has, so I went out to the bunker to look at my stock of 22LR. I know I have some over there on the shelf, and a 30cal ammo can under the shelf with some open box and oddball stuff - 22short, quiets, and whatnot.
I pull out the 30 cal can to open it, and see another can behind it. It has a label that states '22LR'. This time it's a 50 cal can. Open it up, it's full of various boxes of 22LR. Several thousand rounds.
Huh !
Then, I see ANOTHER 50 cal can under the first, and it's ALSO full of 22LR. Some Winchester, some CCI, some Golden Bullets (yeah, I know...), some Aquila.
Well.... I suppose it is possible for a young, vibrant male (in his 7th decade) to lose track of a few piddly rounds of 22....
I have plenty to trade with this other fellow.
Then, I notice another 30 cal can in the corner under the shelf, hidden by the 2 cans of 22LR. Open it up, there's 20 boxes of 20ea Norma Tactical 55gr .223 Rem in there.
400 rounds of 223 I have no recollection of buying.
Ahem.... I have nothing to say....
