[Ric-san]

WTF on ammo (again)… if you don’t reload, time to give it a serious thought. What say you…?

I have gaps in my stock that I regret with every passing day. Also have gaps in my reloading supplies same thing. Dammit. Need more LRP.

Lol global shortage of gun powder , just say we realized you can put any price on the box and people will still buy it .

Just left Ranger in FWB.
Yes, that’s a box of BR2 LRP on the shelf. Only $165

I’ll likely run out of ammo and reloading supply’s in about 50 years , luckily I’ll have been dead for for 30 so years by then.

Speaking of people will still buy it, have you seen the price of boats the last few years?

Honestly, you just have to laugh at it. What else is one to do?

It's obviously bad for shooters who are new to the sport - just makes the barrier to entry / shooting often harder, but I think a lot of us forget most people buy a gun and a couple boxes of ammo, maybe shoot it once and then never again. They feel good they have it and that's enough.

Many of us here do otherwise, shooting often, training, enjoying - but it's hard to accept that we are the small minority of firearm owners. And the shooters amongst us will continue to 'pay to play' as we need / desire too.

I saw a statistic once, not too long ago and can’t remember where… but the percentage of gun owners in America that had fired less than 50 rounds through a gun, ever, was staggeringly high.

I believe it. So many that go buy a gun and shoot it once if at all. Covid showed us that. I’ve picked up a lot of great deals the last couple years on NIB guns people panic bought then decided they didn’t need.

Now is not a great time to start reloading….but there’s never a bad time. Get a cheap press and a scale. Pick a couple calibers and get dies. Save your brass and when powder and primers are a “fair” deal, buy! Bullets almost always available.
