marshaul you seem a bit testy because your immediate needs (more ammo) cannot be fulfilled. Some of us saw this coming. January and febuary will have dry shelves because they are sold out. I started putting that kind of stuff last year, well before the SH incident. Do not complain to us because you procrastinated and we did not.
By the way I hoard at the least a thousand rounds for each calibre weapon. Then I use my everyday ammo to practice, but the reloading machines will take care of that.
Don't give me that "saw it coming" crap. I'm a college student. I shoot every bit I can afford, but I simply can't afford at this point in my life to buy large quantities of ammo for no reason. If you think you're more prescient than I, you're wrong; I routinely ridicule the fact that some small proportion of gun owners feel the need, predictable as clockwork, to "stock up" around election time. The only difference is this time I can't even buy small quantities for practice, even when I
really try. And
that wasn't too predictable, as it's never happened before. Always in the past, normal self-defense shooters could at least buy a box of primers here or there, if not every day then at least every so often. Not now.
And what, exactly, did you "see coming", anyway? You realize the ammo market will go back to normal eventually, right? It's not like you staved off your demise due to lack of primers or anything. :lol:
Also, a thousand rounds isn't a big deal. I have over a thousand primers, a similar quantity of bullets, and several hundred loaded rounds in important calibers. I don't consider that a "hoard". I don't think you're the person I'm talking about. It doesn't sound like your stash is much bigger than mine.
I'm also not about to shoot my last thousand primers for practice before I can get more.
