bullet sales

[tanked_darren]

Still got about 10x20 boxes of good stuff too. I'm gonna check the stocks at can tire and wholesale tomorrow see if we are suffering like you guys.

Ammunition is going at a premium everywhere. I have 5000rds of 556NATO for my AR's with another 1000 coming this week. Very hard to get with all the panic buying that took place....

 

Don't get rid of it, keep it for yourself you may need it.

 

Even for people who reload, bullets are also hard to find.

That's all of your stash? Wow. I've got lots more than that of every caliber I can shoot, as well as lots of other popular calibers that friends have. As Justin said don't get rid of it. you may well need it. Don't forget about the Zombie apocalypse.

I am really glad I bought a 1000 rounds before all this happened. It was just luck on my part.... but damn.

[MikeNH]

That's nuts glad I bought quite a few 500 boxes up here for peanuts.

Is there any permit required to buy ammo in Canada? Maybe I can do the opposite of most Canadians and go to Canada to do some shopping!

Lots of .223 ammo is nice... But I'd like to have more for my .30-06, that gun serves more purposes than the .223.

^^^^^^^^^^^^

You should look into reloading, it's much cheaper that way. i reload my .308 - 30.06 and it saves a ton of money if yo udo a lot of shooting. You can get everything you need to reload for about $400. Pretty easy too, just follow the directions!

[kstruckcountry]

What press do you use? I know I would be using Hornady bullets, but need suggestions as far a primers and powder. I have over 200 .30-06 empties saved, I've been wanting to get into reloading for a while.

That's all I have left. I never bought more and this panic hit

Hate to sound paranoid but I've been stocking up for a couple years now. I've got about 7500 rounds in the 7 different calibers I own not including shotgun shells. I learned back in the cub scouts to " be prepared ".

I like your style. If I owned a house and not an apartment I'd have much higher stores. Do you cycle through so the oldest stuff gets used first when you go shooting?

The only ones I really worry about are the personal defense rounds for my concealed carry handguns. I make sure they aren't ever more than 2 years old. All other rounds are for just range shooting or hunting so am not too worried about them. I have military surplus for my Garand thats from the 60's that still work fine so I'm probably safe even with the personal defense rounds but I don't want to bet my life on it. I will pick up a few boxes of different ammo whenever I have some extra cash just to have on hand. I figure its never going to get any cheaper so it doesn't hurt to stock up.

Ammo stored in controlled conditions will outlive you. I have ammo from WWII and it still is fine. I recently shot some 44 mag reloads I made in 1982 and out of 250 rounds had zero problems. And yes I need to shoot the 44 more often.

I have some high end handloading equipment, but for general use at a great price, you can't beat Lee presses and dies. I still use my Lee turret press and dies for all handgun loading except 45 ACP. A Lee O press and dies would be fine for 30.06..

[sputnik360]

I plan on getting into reloading this summer. I'd like to get some dies to cast my own bullets too. I've got a good connection at the local auto shop for free old wheel weights.

 

I keep about 3k on hand for each of my calibers. 3k is my reserve, so if I want to go shooting I still have to go buy some.
