Stocking up on ammo?

[Deleted]

Just wondering if anyone else has been buying more than normal amounts. Last weekend, when hogkiller was out, we ran up town for a few items, and noticed many of the common rounds were sold out. I think we only seen one small box of .22 ammo, and typically, there are thousands of rounds available of them

Just came home from Cabelas with ammo. I bought another case of .45 acp, 1 case of .223, and 1 case of 7.62.

In my county you can't find ammo. When I run out of feed in between deliveries I have a standing order from a friend to check the sporting store near the mill for .22's. A box of federal .22 longs are $52.99 with tax. Not cheap but available. I got a box for myself at the beginning of trapping season. I only use them for dispatching coons and knocking off some squirrels. I can't wait till I use up the box. But I just might have a few boxes stashed away and sealed up for the future. My friends who are more into weapons than I, ALL are stoking up whenever possible.

I purchased .22lr ammo in the 80's and am still using it, have about 2,000 rounds left. I go out into the desert where other people shoot and pick up spent brass for other calibers. I go through this and re-use and reload what is serviceable for my firearms. I buy reloading supplies but not loaded ammo.

I can find 22 long rifle here. You need to be at the store quick cause they don't last long. Now 22 short hollow points are a different story! Does anyone have any luck finding them? Seems most places don't even carry them, or are even concerned about an order for them. I use them for dispatch and squirrels. I would order a brick or two if I could.

A few years ago I settled on some guns I liked and went to reloading a pile of ammo for them. 338WM, 7mm-08, 25-06, 6mmrem, .223rem and .222rem Likely never need another round for them unless the zombie apocalypse starts.

Buying and selling guns just to try something new all the time was fun but not exactly cost efficient. I still buy and sell the odd rim-fire just to keep it interesting.
