Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Someone in the know....ammo prices?

There are days when once most certainly isn't enough. There are weekends when a thousand, isn't enough.

Who are you to say what I should or shouldn't do in my free time/spend my disposable income on?

That's what Fudds do.

They don't understand the concept of freedom, nor the addition of the 2nd Amendment to our Constitution.

I would try quality pellet pistol for practice. Less noise, no recoil, but can practice w/o leaving house/apartment. There is no need to stash thousands of rounds. The only exception might be some uncommon boutique caliber. For me that caliber is .300H&H. Happy to have plenty as now price is about 100€ per box of 20 when one can find some in stock. American-made is now unobtainium and stuff loaded in EU is very, very expensive.

Ambient temp right now, -15F. What if I want to load ammo this time of year for shooting during the more temperate time of year? Between shotgun, rimfire, and centerfire a "summer" can be 2500-5000 rounds. I'm not "stashing" thousands of rounds. I'm loading them now when it's beastly cold out so that I don't have to waste time loading them when I could be shooting them when it's nice out.

Dad let me "help" him load shells when I got strong enough to "two-thumb" a primer into a case with a Lee Auto-Prime. Hunting and recreational shooting has been a hobby for me since my hands got big enough to reach the trigger on a High Standard Sport-King.

I didn't purchase any of my components or ammo during this shortage, or any of the previous shortages. I'm not about to apologize for having an adequate supply to continue to enjoy my life-long hobby. Moreover, I'm not about to start asking anyone's permission to pursue my hobby either.

Good god, stash thousands of rounds?

Its called stock up when cheap to ne able to shoot more for less.

Not uncommon to shoots hundreds of rounds....a damn week.

Esp if one does any competition.

Some people own guns. Some are gun people.
It appears that the know it alls from across the pond are the former and not latter.

STFU

As a punk kid i put 500 rounds through my dads Python in one weekend.

Considered it just a fun time, a little above avg.

Used to blast a couple hundred .44 mags per week when range was down the road from work.

Used to have shooting parties, cookouts, private ranges.
Went through a lot of ammo....back then.

Two kids w 1022s.......couple bricks a weekend LOL

Going to indoor range for an hour once every couple months.....nothing wrong with that. But that sure as fugg aint the way I grew up.

I was at the outdoor range all the time, trap, .22lr HP rifle and handgun, bow too. We had a pond I fished.

After college worked in same town, got married, had kids.....they fished abd shot at same club when little.

Lifestyle, not a hobby.

Thousands of rounds aint chit. Dont take nothing but a few good weather days to burn that up.

And then when they pay uber for the next pallet but the prices fall on the market you expect them to take a loss on what they had at uber prices.. there has to be middle ground. That or you need to get into the gun business and make a fortune

You had me at "know it alls".

I really like it when they tell me there is no Gun Control in the UK.
