Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Low on hunting ammo

I’m good. My kids. And theirs as well,
Most likely.

I hunt and hang with a small group of guys, whom exchange readily, if they needed it, they would get it, no questions asked. I continue to add to the supply whenever the opportunity comes. .

I'm 72 and good to go.

I am good for the rest of my life. That being said I still buy odds and ends when I find them at non ass raping prices. Always good barter goods

Time to start reloading... never be low on ammo again.

As if there is actually components

Yeah moosemike there is a component shortage too. The bottleneck everywhere is still primers , the companies who make primers also make ammo and using the primers to make ammo earns them greater profit than just selling the primers. To the same end bullets and powders but not quite as tight. All boils down to, did you prepare by having enough of everything you use in your supply inventory. I've heard it said countless times on this forum by members here that their good and they can cover their kids and grandkids needs
Why is it the kids and grandkids can't cover their own needs? Whose values didn 't they pick up by learning to reload or oh my god keeping themselves supplied to their own factory ammo. How many panics now over the last 15-20 years? And still the unprepared haven't learned a damned thing. It isn't just ammo but a lot of things people take for granted toilet paper? CANNING LIDS look around one can find lots of bottlenecks out there. Bottlenecks don't matter if you've prepared. Mb

My kids are in the same boat I was at their age, short of space and time for handloading. One shoots factory in one of his rifles and my handloads in the other. The other one can depend on me feeding his rifles, both of which were mine at one time. Neither has much opportunity for target shooting, so it’s not much of a chore for me, or a drain on my stock.

I could never depend on my father for help. He never offered, and I learned pretty quickly to not waste time asking. I’m trying to do better for my offspring in the small ways I’m able.

I would and have shared with family and friends. I just bought 600 6mm/100 grain bullets on here and offered some to a friend from camp. He only wanted 100 so it was no big deal.
I'm th only one in my family who shoots much. My Godson is coming to stay with us for a week next month and I plan to take him out for a day or 2 of slinging lead. I also like swapping components with friends.
I stocked up big time in 2016, fearing the worst before Trump was elected. The only thing I would like is to get maybe another brick of Large Pistol primers.

Well your a good guy pappy 348 no doubt about it but there still are all these people unprepared and depending on the "system" to keep themselves supplied when ultimately that responsibility needs to be on their shoulders. Mb
