Most of us will puss and moan about the ammo shortage. But folks in rural Alaska probably use their firearms more than those of us in the lower 48.
Has the ammo shortage impacted Alaska folk to any great degree?

Not pissing and moaning here, made sure years ago I'd never get caught short again. Sitting pretty, and that's including air rifle ammo too.

Areas in and around Anchorage certainly feel like California some days.

All suntans and silicon boobs ?

😜🦫

Yep. Exactly that! 😜

Was thinking more along the lines of the homeless camps and associated cesspool politics, but yours is a much more comely mental image.

I mostly load my own but the other night I checked and have around 3000 rounds of factory Ammo, about that much in hand loads and around 40lbs of powder and lots of primers and bullets so I’m good.

We are about that level too. Pretty much a lifetime supply here!

I was in loading some 30.06 last night and was looking at my inventory, I doubt if I will run out in my lifetime. I will buy some more 30 cal bullets at some time just to make sure.

SPS has Nosler 200 partitions for cheap right now if you are in need.

I could use a few hundred Hornady 6mm 108ELDM but that's about it.
I'm good on primers and powder....in fact I've got a few pounds of powder excess to my needs but someone will want it.

Any suggestion on "who" makes a FMJ 6mm bullet......any weight is fine. Cheap is fine.

Most of us in rural Alaska shop weeks and months ahead depending on where one lives. Transportation to and from rural communities to major hubs varies greatly economically and in regards to reliability. Aleutian Hell is the worst. The interior villages not so bad.

We stockpile at least a half-dozen (cases) of everything. I only manage to make it out once a year (Aleutian Hell the worst) so I'm shopping 6 months to a year out. It's nothing for me to drop $1k at Costco and about half that or more at 3 Bears and mail it out myself. I have turlet paper and paper towels stacked to the ceiling. Over a years worth of soap, shampoo, turletries,laundry detergent, dish detergent, garbage bags, Pur water filters...........things that most folks don't consider until the need them. At least a couple cases each of canned goods I use often.

As far as ammo and reloading components go I've been stockpiling that schitt since the Klintoon years. I'm sitting on about 13k each ot each type of primer, about 30+ pounds of powder, and the last time I inventoried my rimfire counting .17HMR, I was between 23 & 25k and have since acquired much more in rimfire.

I'm retiring at the first of the year though and plan on a major move on one of the earlier ferries next spring. I have to figure out how to get all that schitt from here, up to my up north house.






Yup.

I personally have no worries about the availability of ammo at my house. I was looking for some different perspective.
I have asked myself the what if the ammo and reloading components were all I'll every have, I'm good.

Hornady 80 gr FMJ
Sierra 90 gr FMJ
Norma 95 gr FMJ

Better get the Sierra's now while they have them in stock, they discontinued the bullet

Thank You for the help, I just ordered 200 of the Sierra 90 gr. (It will be a great Moose and Bear bullet) Again Thanks.

The bait has been cast. Who will be foolish enough to take it? I’m telling you, it must be SUPER boring in Sunrise.

90 gr FMJ 243 cal bullets on brown bear ??

WTF ?
........


Wow, that's way overkill, erebody knows all you need is the 55 gr Blitzking in a 6 Creed for brown bear...

All you need is shot placement from a super high bc creed brass casing, saw it on Facebook

This dude is Timothy Treadwell with a gun. He one claimed to have spent 5 minutes on his back, straddled by a brown bear, with (I shït you not) the penis sheath by his forehead. If you understood bears the way HE understands bears, you’d understand why he walked away without a scratch.

Clearly he can get it done with a .22 caliber air rifle, but opts for big bores like the 6mm to keep it ethical.

I have amassed a decent hoard of components. Shelves are and have been empty at the local stores for awhile now. Seems like most wont realize it until hunting season begins.

You do a "poor" job of retelling an account. Try to get it accurate next time.

Don’t blame me, blame my bullshït filter.

I think you suffer from "Little Penis" syndrome. I think you make shallow attempts to discredit me, because I got to live a life, in a time and manner you envy. Either that or your a homosexual with a perverted obsession with me. It was interesting to read the "full" page you wrote about me in another thread, You do have a strange fascination with me. I know nothing about you......and I have zero interest in learning about you.

For the record I think you are making a jackass of yourself with your childish attempts to belittle me.......but enjoy yourself.

Yet you take the time to validate my comments. I’m not attempting to belittle you in the least, I’m merely stating facts. If they seem belittling, perhaps you might consider thinking before typing. Although, I must admit, I’m a fan of the quotation marks in lieu of randomly using all caps on seemingly irrelevant words.

But, as I enjoy the occasional back and forth, I’d invite you to call out my inaccuracies and misrepresentations. Or, if you’d rather, I’m happy to begin, but you’ll have to forgive me, this one doesn’t come from a forum.

Let’s start with the time you sold an “original” Model 70 Stainless Classic in .300 RUM to a buddy of mine. He gets it home and takes it apart to clean it and finds you’d filled the barrel channel with candle wax and fishing weights. The wax and fishing weights upstaged the magazine follower, that was from another brand of gun, and the wrong action screws.

But my claims that you overprice stuff and mislead potential buyers are clearly misguided.

Your turn.

not sure what I stepped into, but I'm out ....

my comment was meant to be humorous & nothing else

No problem.......We are good, and again thanks for the help. He (Ducks and Dogs) has a sick obsession with me.

Don’t flatter yourself. It’s more of an obligation to others, who don’t know your past, to provide them with enough information so they know to exercise due diligence when considering a purchase from you. Well, that, and to proceed with caution if they’re thinking about taking you up on a reward-based, albeit slightly illegal, bear hunt. Nothing more, nothing less.

You’re more than capable of providing your own garnish - if you’ll recall, you were catching flack well before my entrance into the other thread.

YES........"But" your the only one who has been obsessed with me, and stalking me for about eight years. Your the only one who wrote a "FULL" page of flawed information about me in that thread. Your the only one going to great length in this thread to illustrate that you have a long history of being obsess with me. You should make sure your taking you medications correctly.

Feel free to tell the members here anything you know about me, please try to present it accurately. I'll stand by everything I have actually" done in my life. But not the strange twisted convoluted fabricated stuff you assert, which often has some small element of truth.

So you didn’t sell a .300 RUM to someone with a few misrepresentations? You haven’t had overpriced land for sale in Hope forever? You aren’t trying to get someone to come kill a bear by offering a reward or letting people hunt a bait site you’re maintaining? You didn’t tell a story about a bear’s penis sheath in your face for five minutes?

I noticed you’ve failed to provide any evidence to the contrary. Like I said, I’m not obsessed with you. I’m just doing my part to make sure other folks don’t buy your BS and end up hosed, too.

By the way, it’s “you’re.”

Definitely strange, twisted, convoluted, and fabricated:

Who is AGL4now anyway? Does he believe what he writes? Come on now a penis shaft inches from my forehead! Are you kidding me?!!! You almost sound like Timothy Treadwell!! What a nutcase!!!!!

DFTT's

Guilty. My apologies to the OP and those involved. I’m out. Back to the ammo, or lack thereof.

Your as incompetent as Ducks and Dogs......It is penis "SHEATH" and not penis "Shaft".

If we're lecturing on incompetence and the use of proper grammar, that would be "you're" as opposed to "your".

Sorry stupid person......learn to "read" the discussion is the distinction between a penis "Shaft" and a penis "Sheath". Your as big a fool as the other two fools. And you dance like an obese hippo. Go on a diet "FATTY".

This is two good to let pass, I'm marking this thread four future reference.

Ted maybe you should post that picture of your fat azz dancing with that little kitty cat !

This is awesome....I am well aware the argument started with the use of "sheath" vs "shaft". I don't need reminded of that, but I do appreciate the attempt.

A pic of myself and my pussy would just be too much for him.

You know, I have a certain level of respect for the marginally literate who give it a go on forums.

I’m crying here from laughing at this.

Ted, show AGL4 that big sexy, fat ass, of yours...Please !

Specifically, the picture where you’re high elevation hunting for snow cock.

LMFAO

🦫

Ted and his pussy is Fire Hall of Fame material.

🦫

Did you say COCK?



Christ, Clark has me capitalizing it now...

Trying to figure out just how much separation there is betwixt the sheath and the shaft...

Having skinned quite a few I believe it is very close to splitting hairs. Or is that hares?

As in a a few hundred, or not exactly.......???

I would suggest you would be stupid to go there... many posters here have watched me skin bears... black and brown... but go ahead and make a fool of yourself.

Again.
