How many of you will admit to buying ammo when you don't have a gun it fits?

I've bought BELTS of ammo for guns I don't own! (right before the 2000 caliban. 5.56, .308, .30-06, and .50BMG all over 11 round belts :)

I have a few boxes of FN 5.7x28. For a handgun that is not even on CA's approved list!

I have ammo for a gun that is basically BANNED where I live! Beat that!~

(the one way is if someone who owns one privately moves in. Then I can buy it in a PPT from him. Anyone moving soon who owns a FiveseveN, just an FYI, you may have a buyer :D)
 
I was at an estate sale last year. the guy put a box of ".22" bullits on the block, I was in the back and could not get a look at them, but I made a bid of $4.00, guess what I got it :) , but when I got the box it was a 1000 rounds of caseless ammo, you know that stuff daisy put out in the 60's, now I thought what am I going to do with this stuff :confused:, well I had never seen any before and really did not know what it was, so when i got home I looked it up and found out what it was for, as well as some postings from people who owned the gun.
well a few e-mails later I was able to sell it for a nice profit, I was happy, the guy in FL was happy, Ain't life grand
 
I have never intentionally bought ammo without to have a gun to fit it. I have however been given several boxes that wouldn't fit anything I owned. .357Mag, .38Special, .308 Win....

I love Christmas from shooting friends.
 
I'm part of the group. :) Bought mags and ammo for guns I didn't have yet. The best one for me is that I bought bullets for the future 45-70 for the future reloading equipment. :D Planning way ahead.
 
I've got some .177 steel bbs and lead pellets lying around, but no bb guns to shoot them withl. How pathetic is that?
 
No, can't say that I have, but I did buy a saddle and don't own a horse. I could'nt pass up a deal.

My wife still has not let me live it down. This happened over 25 yrs. ago.
 
Heck, if the price is right...

I'll do it. Especially if I have friends who may need it. ;)
 
I have a bunch of ammo that doesn't fit my current guns. I figure it makes good gifts for people with those calibers, and maybe they will be nice right back at me. Otherwise just good for trading. Of course, maybe I'll buy a gun for it, but then again maybe not.

Calibers I have now without a gun to shoot them are:

.45 ACP, .40 SW, .380 Auto, .38 Special, .357 Magnum, .223.


Ammo I have that I also have guns for:

.22CB, .22LR, .22 Magnum, 7.62x39, 7.62x54R, .35 Remington, 9mm, .32 Auto, 12 Gauge. Hmm, I need to get more variety in my shooting irons...
