I don't buy ammo aside from rimfire.
I would also add The only time you have too much ammo is if you're unexpectedly in deep water.You know what they say, the only time you might have too much ammo is when your house is on fire.
I picked up a saying from a buddy of mine: The only time a man's ever had too much ammo, he was either on fire or trying to swim.I would also add The only time you have too much ammo is if you're unexpectedly in deep water.
Yep! I am down to my last pound of Benchmark and between spring/summer target shooting and shooting about 100rds at woodchucks that pound doesn't last long. Its a good thing I have been hoarding Varget when I find it. Currently up to 4-5lbs.I feel the same way about reloading components...
Seems the more ammo I am able to stockpile for a certain firearm the less I want to shoot it to preserve what I have.
At a recent gun show in Muncy, PA I was amazed at how much ammo prices have increased, $75 for a box of Winchester 7mm08.
It is almost as if the security and joy of having lots of ammo is surpassing the joy of shooting. Bad in my opinion.
I agree with you a lot! Between dad and I we have thousands upon thousands of large rifle/magnum primers but small pistol is low in supply...I feel the same way about reloading components...
Poor excuses if you ask me. Unless someone is just all thumbs and failed every math class they took, reloading is a pretty simple process that only requires some devotion to attention and safety.The issue with that is getting the equipment, supplies and room to reload. Then learning how to load properly and safely. That's a ton of upfront cost and effort for some. Who would be better served by just buying a case or so of factory ammo. That's the main reason why I buy factory ammo.
Mine is a small private club that features shotgun and hangun ranges, so I'm not too worried. It's as busy as ever.Until the range closes its doors because they cant keep the lights on due to nobody shooting......
