Ammo shortage

Re: Ammo shortage

This all the way. And Im still trying to understand why any one person needs thousands of rounds stockpiled.

I'm not by any means one of those people, but I have thought "What if the "crazies" are all right, and the SHTF and society fails, then what?"

I suppose then they won't seem so crazy. :p

I know people who shoot a lot and easily go through thousands of rounds every year. It is like asking why does that guy need so many car parts? Because he uses them! Even amateur competitive shooters go through thousands a year. Professional shooters go through tens of thousands.

Also it is only a matter of time before this country goes into a super financial meltdown and people start looting. Its smart to protect your family.

Re: Ammo shortage

Wow you are out of the loop... its been like this for awhile...


Luckily I bought a bulk deal before this all went to hell, and I got like 4k of .22LR

I have since bought a RIA 1911, and built a PSA AR-15. I have been building up ammo a little, kind of settled down some.


Honestly the walmart app ont he phone kicks ***, you can see what walmarts near by have what. If I am going to run an errand I will check if they have stuff and just decide to drive to that part of town and pick up some ammo. But most stores are almost always out of stock.

I know that a couple years ago I did some training and was told to bring 800 rounds of pistol ammo and 1,000 rounds of rifle ammo. I didn't bring much home at the end of the weekend. I repeated that I believe 5 times that summer, so I went through thousands of rounds of ammo in just a few months, likely 7,500 rounds or so. Buying in 50 round boxes is insane when your burning off ammo at that pace. You buy the 1,000 round cases from AmmoMan.com or similar and get the best deal you can.
