If you don't reload, I would also strongly suggest that you think about that too! You could get into it with a good setup for under $500 and then spend the rest on some powder and a bunch of other supplies to carry you for awhile. I hate to say it, but I agree with a previous post as to things getting worse in regards to ammo and guns over the next few years, especially if BO is reelected and has four lame duck years to push his agenda.
