Shortages of ammunition and firearms ramping up

[Circle_10]

On the one hand I regret shooting off thousands and thousands of rounds of ammo (mostly 5.56/.223 and 9mm) over the last three years so that I’m left with less in reserve than I’d like. On the other hand my shooting ability improved quite a bit during that time period.

So maybe having less ammo, but being a better shooter it is preferable to having more ammo and being a terrible shooter?

That’s how I’m consoling myself anyway.....

I got into guns right before Sandy Hook and told myself I'll never be caught with only 100 rounds again. Now I have only 3-4k each of 5.56 and 9mm and feel like I don't have enough to practice.

After Sandy Hook I said the same thing. I have about 10K of various .223/5.56 and maybe closer to 12K of 9mm, maybe 6 or 7K of 7.62x39 and I don't think that's enough. I don't think any amount of ammo is "enough" LOL

Cheaper Than Dirt just sent out an email indicating they've got ammo, mags in stock

Tula 223 20 rounds $11.79
S&B 5.56 20 rounds $24.89

I'm a fan of capitalism but this is ridiculous.

Bottom line, rarely do we feel we have enough. But if you have a few thousand of your known calibers your GTG IMHO. If your in a firefight that last 500 rounds your proably fcked anyway. Probably less. But we all hord like crazy, its just part of the game I guesss. I have way more than I need and I'm buying bullets and powder like there aint no manana.

I’m looking to buy a Dillon press. At least I can find .308 to feed my totally-not-panic-bought LMT.

Before a few months ago I couldn’t afford to hoard ammo in bulk. Now that I got a raise I can’t afford to hoard ammo in bulk lol.

It's part for the course with CTD. They lost a lot of customers after Sandy Hook. I wouldn't pee on their building if it was on fire.

You mean when they posted cased of 5.56 for $999, rather than the regular price of $319 and had the audacity to include the "You save -$680" LOL Their $60Pmags and $70 50rd of 9mm?
