NATIONAL AMMO DAY

[Blackfork]

Today is National Ammo Day, the day to buy at LEAST 100 rounds of your favorite ammo.
Walmart is the best because they track their sales with precision and might notice the uptick.
12:00 Central is the witching hour.

Totally flat flippin' broke - someone buy a box for me, wouldja? I'll load 50 9mm to be in the spirit of the thing!

National Ammo Week started on 11/11, Day being today 11/19 (Ammo Week ends on Day). Bought a case of Wolf Match Extra yesterday at Champion Shooters in New Albany, OH. Excellent price $370/case. (They are closed Sundays.)

 

[Bruce333]

ordered 900 rounds of 7.62x54r from AIM last night.

 

[Blackfork]

Shooting 100 rounds as well today...

Going to the range to check zeros and shoot a little. I'm sure I will burn 100 rounds between a little offhand for Highpower Rifle at 200 yards, 2 different K31s at 100 and 200, some .22 Wolf Match Target off the bench with a CMP H&R M12 for my nephew to try and get him seeing the sights...might double check some Mil-surp deer zeros on the K98, 1909 Arg, Garand...

Terrific weather and 26 more doe tags to go.

For this year's Ammo Week:

2 boxes of Winch 9x19; 100 rds ea
5 boxes of 308, 30-06 & 300WM for a total of 100 rds
1 Lyman turret press.

When Kim Du Toit started this, (his birthday IIRC) wasn't it just Ammo "Day"? When did he expand it to National Ammo Week?

National Ammo Week? I have no idea what you all are talking about. Sounds like a forum creation. I buy ammunition all the time; this week, next week, next month. All the same.

Bought 100 rounds of 45 acp at noon today. Receipt says 12:00:06

On the way back from the range, where I burned "a bit" more than that.

I appreciate the concept of National Ammo Day, but I have a difficult time respecting the tradition due to a personal row with its conceptual creator. He and I had a falling out, and despite both his change of view on the discussed topic and my repeated attempts to repair communications, he shut me down in a very immature fashion.

Not too fond of "personality cults", no I'm not.

(I'm talking about this guy, by the way.)

 

[orionengnr]

Personality has nothing to do with it--it is the message that is important.

If (estimated) 80 million gun owners went out and bought 100 rounds of anything on the same day, that would be an unmistakeable spike on the radar screen.

Of course if they all voted too...ah, don't get me started.

Bloggers are really nothing more than a source of entertainment. I try not to get into a personal row with my entertainment; but then, I have thrown the occasional tape in the trash/out the window.

As a political statement, Ammo Week does have a certain appeal and (potentially at least) a chance of making impact. I wonder if it is a blip yet.
It HAS grown, and I do hear about it from more sources each year.

Rural King here was having a sale, left with a mess. Armored, got ya covered, buddy!

 

[twenty711]

I couldn't afford 100 rounds but I bought 10rnds 00 buck and 10 rifled 1oz slugs :-D

 

[Brass Fetcher]

Caimlas,

How do you feel about the rabid antis? Have differences with them too? Me too. Let's support all gun owners, if we can.

 

[elric]

I got 1900 rounds (it was all cheap .22lr, but hey, its 1900 rounds! )

 

[lee n. field]

Did my part. 100 rounds of Wally World White Box .40.

 

[Kankujoe]

I bought 1350 rounds (6 boxes of 225) of .40 S&W from Dick's on Friday. They had a good sale this past week, 25% off UltraMax value packs. A few of my friends also bought 5 boxes each. We bought out the entire stock of Dick's .40 caliber in 3 different stores. Wish they had more in stock, would've bought more at those prices (13.3 cents/round).

 

[Brass Fetcher]

1000 rounds of .25ACP Blazer from SG three days ago.

 

[dragongoddess]

Lets see over the next 30 days I will be buying the following ammo:

100-200 rounds of 12ga 00
500 rounds of 7.5x55 Swiss
300-500 rounds of .45ACP
50 rounds each of .357mag,.44mag,38spl,44spl
500 rounds of .22LR
1080 rounds of 7N6 5.45x39

Hope this helps.

[Ben Shepherd]

Picked up 700 rounds of S&Bs version of 223 SS109 stuff last night.

 

[ZXD9]

Have a tin of 7.62x39 that's supposed to ship today.

 

[zamboxl]

i bought 200 rounds the other day at wall mart, 9mm by the way

 

[Glockfan.45]

Bought 500 rounds of Remington UMC JHP in .40S&W this morning . Cleaned out what Wally World had left (except for Blazer Brass ).

 

[azredhawk44]

Ammo Day needs to be moved closer to Independence Day That way I have more disposable income to throw at it. Christmas gets expensive, and I only bought 100rds of WWB 9mm and a brick of .22LR.
