Thought I would give **** a shot here for a few months... Been pretty good for about 4 months.. even harry has calmed down, but I can see that you are still here for the same thing you said you were here for last fall, and it's the same thing harry is here for... Like I said, simple question... later.. |

I'm not either, even thought I have probably 4 to 6 crates of the same and more calibers you have. I've bought mine over the years,. Okay. How much ammo is in your typical "crate"? My .22LR boxes have 100 rounds in them. There are 20 rounds in each box of 45s. over 1000 rd's each Yeah, they're bigger than normal boxes |

If low enough, you'd go too, Harry... ?;^ ) The current round of "hording" ammo started due to concerns that political pressures would restrict both gun ownership and ammo availability. Then the closure of the only lead smelting plant in the US in 2010 led many to erroneously believe that lead would no longer be available for ammunition manufacturing. This is not true. Virtually *all* the lead used for ammo is from recycled supplies ranging from automotive wheel weights, fishing weights and ballast. There's a surplus of lead around and the ammo manufacturers won't run out anytime soon. I remember when I first started going to the range. I didn't have much ammo for each gun and would typically shoot up whatever supply I had knowing I could easily restock. At the height of the current shortage, I'd buy whatever I could find, so I guess I contributed to the hoarding. It seems to be easing now. The shelves at my favorite gun shop are getting full again and quantity restrictions on some calipers have ended. |

It'll be loud, flashy, and it'll improve the gene pool. I've only got four to six boxes each of .22LR, 45ACP, 45LC, and a few boxes of shotgun shells, so I'm not hoarding. At what point does hoarding simply become investing? If you never shoot, you are hoarding but if you believe you will shoot the ammo eventually it is just an investment. I feel a whole lot better about going to the range and shooting 15 cent shots than those guys who are shooting at 75 cents a round and not sure if they will have any next week. Greg that's the way I look at it. I really don't go shooting ofr the sake of burning up brass, but several years ago (about 25), I bought govt. surplus .223 at .14c. a round in bulk. I thought it was worth copping a couple thousand count. "Dirty" Chinese 7.62x39 surplus? 1500 rd. per crate at .07c. a shot. I figured that was worth 3 crates. ..44 mag, .357, .22- same deals and likewise, same types of quantities. |
