Apprarently my friend you missed all of 2008.........................

RE: Ammo... What did I miss!!!!???
 

Ammo & component prices should be dropping. Metal prices are way down, and so is gasoline (but NOT DIESEL!!)

RE: Ammo... What did I miss!!!!???
 

Gun store commandos? I shoot sporting clays and uspsa pistol matches regularly. I use .223 and .308 in three gun matches. It's not uncommon for me to burn 1000 rounds a month. More when my son and stepson shoot with me. I reload for 12 gauge, 20 gauge and .45 acp. I've also got three different rifles that I use for deer and hog hunting, and my son has one, and I like to keep them all properly sighted in, and have enough ammo left over for use during deer season. I stock up whenever the stuff I need is on sale. So tell me, how much ammo do you think I should be allowed to have on hand? Judging by your comments, it appears you think we should all be perfectly content to have one bullet for each weapon, if that.

Based on your comments, I doubt anyone will be willing to share.

Call me paranoid ,but this stuff is scary. I just dropped 330$ for 700 rnds of decent 223 ball ammo and I consider myself lucky to find it. None of the major catalog companies have any at all. Same w/ reloading components too, just about everything is drying up, fast! Even powder.

I figure I can feed my 7-08 for the next 10 years, if I dont waste much, but what about after that? I wonder if well be able to buy ammo at all in the future [:@]

dang dearandbear....i didnt realize 223 ammo was so high! not long ago i could find cases of hardball for under 100 bucks!!! [:'(] [:@]

223 hardball makes a little sense due to the war....


too danged expensive to do much shooting these days i know that much....dad and i used to shoot pistols atleast once a week....usually took some of the rifles atleast once a month..now, its so bad if we dont need to shoot, we dont...except on a blue moon...still shoot the pistols to stay in tune but not near like we used to...

So if the "big day" that the those with an itchy trigger finger are waiting for comes, you think someone is going to ask?


Kinda like the scmuck from the "Citizens Defense League" that decided to berate those waiting in line a the gun show this last weekend. "quit waiting for someone to do it for you, YOU need to join us"

Sure, and now you know why I.D.P.A is pathetic. As for IPSC, try 500 rounds a week.....

thanks obama , biden, schumer, hillary, pelosi.

It might be tough to get our guns, but they seem to be doing a fair job of making it too costly to feed 'em.

sad state of affairs. and it's going to get worse.

RE: Ammo... What did I miss!!!!???
 

The price of ammo went up because commodities went up, the price of certain guns went up because of fear and speculation.

RE: Ammo... What did I miss!!!!???
 

This statement is true. However ,the clear anti gun ,voting records of the folks, who now hold so much political power, has everyone buying up everything the can , including myself. Can anyone blame us?

RE: Ammo... What did I miss!!!!???
 

Everyone is worryed about OBAMA, and my local mom and pop reloading shop who is also the area powder distributer seems to think it will get better by march.
