What is going on with ammo????

[DammitBoy]

I bought 150 rounds of .45 acp and 50 rounds of .454 casull today.

I don't know why some folks think you need to shoot x number of rounds per month to stay "proficient." I could go years w/o shooting and still be proficient.

Now that's funny, right there, I don't care who you are!

Well, I must be amazingly talented then, since I had shot once a year on average (.22 rifle and pellet guns), if that, before joining the Army, yet still managed to qualify expert with the M16 and .45.

And you are right, I guess proficiency means different things to different folks.

THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT THIS SHORTAGE IS ALL THE NEW AMMO WILL BE FRESH.

I do not "hoard" ammunition, I "amass" it.

Been doing so for years.

Most of the 30,000+ rounds of 9mm that I have was bought just two or three years ago at $5.50-$6.00 per box which works out to about $3600.00

Same for all the .45ACP (about 7,500 rounds of it) that I have. All totalled, it set me back about $1,600.00 give or take $20.00

Stop buying ammo if I've already got a hundred rounds of the caliber? Nonsense!

Worry about the "other guy" that failed to plan and therefore planned to fail? Horse Hockey!

When I find a good deal, I grab it, "need" it or not. In times as uncertain as these, it is best to get what you can when you can 'cause you may not get the chance again.

i see a lot of 17HMR.....and why is no one hoarding shotgun shells?

 

[flocker]

The gun makers are catching up, you see AR's and pistols back on the shelf soon you will see the ammo back.

About 2010 hopefully or 2012 there will be a flood of LNIB AR's, AK's and semi autos on the market as well as unlimited ammo for cheap as everyone will be selling.

Actually, what you are is illiterate. As I clearly stated, hoarders are the ones stashing hundreds, if not thousands of rounds. Buying more than 100 rounds at a time right now is just selfish..if that makes you feel any better.

You sir, are not a polite person.
