With current shortages and limits being placed on purchases by some stores, buying a few boxes at a time makes a lot more sense than trying to get everything you might need all at once (which could be really expensive). Thanks.<br /><br />RWriverwalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575212890278793911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-49104834454374823552009-05-30T08:22:21.442-05:002009-05-30T08:22:21.442-05:00I just wanted to say that I very much agree with y...I just wanted to say that I very much agree with your post and I'm in the process of slowly stocking up as we speak.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-68232582301551881792009-01-10T11:05:00.000-06:002009-01-10T11:05:00.000-06:00To: gott_chaVery good advice.

I would add that you should reload what you do shoot.<BR/><BR/>I'm currently using a friends reloading equipment (and his knowledge) and have been buying equipment of my own a piece at a time. Save your brass! Go in with 1-2 others and order in bulk to save HazMat charges on primers & powder too. <BR/><BR/>You can save a lot on your ammo costs once you get set up. Yes, the initial cost is there, but in the long run it's a winner.Grumpyunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494777446194872126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-36442613785705892302009-01-09T20:14:00.000-06:002009-01-09T20:14:00.000-06:00I suggest not getting too stressed about self defe...I suggest not getting too stressed about self defense and hunting or whatnot, at least for awhile. First get at least a couple hundred rounds for each weapon you own. After that look to stock more for the useful weapons (be they defensive or hunting) and don't bother with less useful ones. For example your 12 gauge pump is useful and the single barrel 16 gauge Grandpa gave you is less useful, A full sized 9mm is useful while a subcompact .25acp is less useful. <BR/><BR/>Get more ammo for the useful guns. I think 3k for a defensive rifle is ideal but 2k is probably acceptable. For a pistol 1k is ideal but 750 rounds is probably just fine. For a shotgun 500 rounds is probably good.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09612373437033635765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-798488726109294812009-01-09T19:03:00.000-06:002009-01-09T19:03:00.000-06:00just my .02 in here...I picked up a 30.06 from a g...just my .02 in here...I picked up a 30.06 from a guy that owed me money,came with 200 rd's of ammo.I took it out a yr or so ago,shot great,no prob..took it out a couple of months ago,put in 3 rd's..the second shot didn't go off.So,after clearing it and all,there was a bullet about 1 inch into the barrel.Came out easily with a cleaning rod,but in a combat situation,would you know if you jacked it out,or if you ran out and reload?

Practice with the plain stuff and save the high velocity stuff which is somewaht more expensive for when you're doing some serious shooting.<BR/><BR/>Thanks scout.<BR/><BR/>RWriverwalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575212890278793911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-72815138779129286462009-01-09T14:42:00.000-06:002009-01-09T14:42:00.000-06:00Sound Advice stock heavy on the 22 ammo cheap to s...Sound Advice stock heavy on the 22 ammo cheap to shoot and practice with compared to all others........scoutinlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01287406485832209715noreply@blogger.com
