    I have not bought ammo since April. I'm done. I don't shoot and I don't buy until this is over. Shooting is reserved for combat at this point. I hope that doesn't happen but I'm at my 1k minimum on the 2 calibers that matter to me.

    Yeah, might be 3 years since I bought ammo.

    I am trying to not buy any absurd prices. But I do feel I need more ammo. I will say this when pricing goes back I'll be stockpiling a few thousand of all my needs

    Main reason I built my ammo cabinet - all told, there's 20k+/- rounds on it right now. Friends try to convince me I've got enough to "sell them a few rounds", but it ain't happening, especially given the current threat level. I'd hate like hell to have Antifa show up an' me not be ready to show 'em a little love!

    Gotta be fast, it doesn't take long. Looks to be going through, so far. Wish I could find some 147 grain at a decent price.

    Asked a vendor about getting 5-10k rnds of 147 grn ball, he just laughed. Said something like, "We haven't seen more than a few hundred rounds of anything in a while."

    Might be a while yet.

    Steps, small steps.

    Currently have:
    A little over 150 45acp
    650 9mm
    Right around 1k 223/55.6

    I'm picking up a 9mm gun this weekend as I dont have one despite the rounds.

    If 20k Antifa were heading your way, it's probably time to bug out.

    Is that just one caliber, or all total?

    I bought a 1000 rds of ammo from a lady whose dad had passed. I thought $400 for 1000 rounds of 223 PMC FMV was a little high. Looks pretty good right now.

    She had another, and I should have bought it too.

    I was at Academy in early March and you see that the ammo was pretty well picked through. I didn’t necessarily need anything, but I got on Target Sports and ordered 1,000 rounds each of steel case .223 and 7.62X39, and 500 rounds each of .45acp and 10mm. Glad I did! Reloading has allowed me to shoot as much as I always have, but with the availability of small pistol primers, I’m about to slow down a bit.
