when was the last time you bought ammo???

Yesterday. I've got a class coming up for a range session at the end of the month and saw Winchester white box .38 special at Wal-Mart.

Still looking for a good deal on Winchester T-22; I've got an ancient rifle that likes it.

Selling to friends is not a good idea for a couple of reasons:
1. Liability. If a firearm undergoes energetic disassembly, you're on the hook.
2. Legal. Takes a license from BATFE to manufacture ammunition for sale.

I haven't bought a centerfire round in almost 2 years. That's when I started loading myself. I still have to go down to Wally World or the gun store and buy rimfire and shotshell though.

I dont load shotty shells so buy them.
9mm when it comes at a good price, and .45acp I buy if the good stuff - NATO 9mm ball and good (Samson et. al) .45acp altho I load these.
7.62X39 I buy the cheapo 'plinking' stuff when cheap enuff to shoot up old cars and such. with my Mini30. I load good cases though with premium slugs for target/hunting. 9mm and .380 and .357 I load for myself, nephews and wives pistols with 'premium' slugs, to +P data meticously. they and I have a good 'stash' of several 100's of 'good stuff' set back - this is quality jhp. for pistols and carbines (9mm mostly) kel-tec carbine, beretta and Marlin carbines. comes out of that 16" bbl with a 'crack'.

I bought some the last time I went grocery shopping. I've been bulking up on ammo needed for a class. Sometimes I walk through one of the bigger stores and if I see some on sale I'll grab it. You can never have enough brass.

I have not bought any center fire ammo for over 25 years. My father-in-law started me reloading shotgun and rifle ammo shortly after I got married. I started with Lee hand loaders and later bought a Lyman Orange Crusher, Lee progressive and a Lyman T-Mag presses.

Last week. Winchester +p 38spl white box for my snubbie. I'll be reloading soon for this but I tend to do that in the spring, summer and fall out in the garage. Since it is still winter in michigan I'm buying +p ammo to shoot this.

The up side of this is I have a bunch of +p stamped brass so I can segregate my loads for the airweight from those in normal .38 spl cases that I shoot in my .357.

I bought a single box of 20 Federal Hydroshock .380 S.D. stuff about 6 yrs. ago. I had just bought the gun and didn't have any brass to load for it yet. Before that, I bought a 20 Federal Hydroshock 38 spcl. S.D. about 12 yrs. ago for the same reason. Other than that, I can't remember and am thinking it was probably more than 20 yrs. ago. I have bough shotgun shells off and on when I can't find reclaimed shot.
But a year or so ago I made a promise, as did my Son, to never buy factory shotgun shells ever again. We bought some cheap Win. to shoot dove with. Not one single shell we discharged would eject from any of our Remington 870's, we have five 870's consisting of two Wingmaster's, two Express, and an old Special 12 which is a bottom of the line 870 I bought new in 1980 something. An old New England Firearms and a Charles Daley pump wouldn't eject them either. I took several shells apart an found the powder was in one very hard lump. I broke the powder lumps up and reloaded all the original components, and they functioned fine.

About a year ago, Got some Speer Gold dots 9mm, For carry ; )PS I still shoot alot

.22 rimfire is about it for me.

Just .22LR, and carry ammo, since I got the reloading setup last year.

I still buy commercial ammo for when friends want to use my weapon. I have confidence in my reloads, but IF something were to happen, I would be beside myself. For that reason, I keep a couple hundred rounds around for that purpose.

.22s only

1994 & they came with a revolver I bought .

But I better add 22 in here when needed .

Hmm, its been a while. I picked up some steel case 223 awhile back to shoot when there was snow on the ground.

For me it was just a couple weeks before I bought a reloading press. But unfortunately, it was A LOT. So I have a ton of overpriced factory ammo sitting around.

I did buy my dad some 7.62x54r also, but that wasnt for me, I swear it wasnt!

.22 regular velocity for a old high standard auto i bought

Only rimfire,nothing else for over 7yrs

.22LR and some shotshells, nothing much else for a long time.

I buy a box of carry ammo once a year, swap out, shoot off the "old" carry ammo through the next year. I did buy a box of Wildcat 22 JHP for my son's rifle, to try something different - almost $4 for a box?!?!? Egads! The other 22lr ammo I am going through I bought about 10 years ago, going fine.

About 2 weeks ago. Whenever I buy a new gun, I buy several boxes of factory ammo with it to sight in the scope, then switch to reloads. Remington 700 SPS Varmint in 204, sweet...

5 bricks of 22's about 3 years ago. Centerfire, over 40 years.

I buy 223 ammo when it's cheap mainly pmc the brass is not bad for reloading. Been about 2 years.

I still buy ammo now & then.
It helps keep my brass supply up.

I belong to 2 clubs, but there must be a bunch of reloaders at both cuz there's almost never any brass laying around.
