Re: The ammunition run is on............
The majority of shooters go through relatively few rounds per year when compared to some of the shooters on the Hide. If my sons and I go for just a few hours, we can easily shoot 1k rounds of .223. Then you have to add the pistol ammo...
Last time my son did some training, 1k rounds .223, 800+ rounds 9mm. One day.
I've been buying a little more every time I've ordered, because I knew this shit would happen again. With out ammo, our rifles are expensive paperweights.
High end .45 acp ammo is close to $1.00 a round. Good .308 ammo is at least $1.00 a round.
This shit is getting expensive, and I don't think the prices will ever come down. I don't shoot any steel cased ammo, stay away from old surplus from who the fuck knows where/how old, etc.
My boys are getting a new pair of boots and a case of .223 for Christmas, and they better be happy. Shit, I would be happy. I'm thankful that both of them enjoy the shooting sports.
