I read a post a while back where a member boasted that he had 25,000 rounds of 22 ammo tucked away. What in the world do you do with that much ammo? Hoarding so he will have ammo for the next centrury?
Are you referring to my post on the "Who still shoots a 22LR" thread? A 25,000 round stockpile works out to a little over 200 rounds a month for ten years. Is that excessive? During normal times, I'd do most of my shooting with centerfire, but during hard times like we're now experiencing, I have to resort more to .22 rimfire than to anything else if I wish to continue in the shooting hobby as I have all my life. I still have stockpiles of centerfire, but am more reluctant to shoot it during times like these than I am when ammo is cheap and plentiful. We don't know how long the current shortage (and price spike) is gong to last, or even if it's permanent. Perhaps it will even get far worse, and stay that way. The future is unknown, so be prepared for the worst.
