More people buying ammo instead of another gun?

[PabloJ]

I have 150 rounds of 9x19, 200 rounds of 10x25, 100 rounds of 12ga slugs and 50 rounds of 12ga BK shot. I am set for at least one year.

I noticed .30-30 has disappeared from store shelves.

This year, I decided to buy ammunition,,,

My Tax return has always been guilt-free gun money,,,
But this year I really didn't have a particular pistol in mind,,,
So I decided to rethink my Bench Stock levels and beef up my stash.

2,000 rounds of 9mm,,,
250 rounds of .44 Magnum, .44 Special, & .25 ACP,,,
1,000 rounds of .380 ACP, .38 Special, & .357 Magnum.

I had just enough in this years refund to get my stock to these levels,,,
It's so nice to just grab what I need off of the shelf,,,
And worry about replacing it after I go shooting.

Wow. With that amount of ammo I wouldn't be set for a Saturday morning!

I've still spent more on guns than on ammo so far.
Given the current state of things that's not likely to change. I'll just keep adding to the collection of things I want and get around to feeding them when I can.

45/70 = 140 rounds
30-30 = 300 rounds
22lr = 4500 rounds
45 acp = 650 rounds
44 mag = 350 rounds
.223 = 600 rounds
12 gauge various = 450 rounds

I have been trading, instead of buying, guns and ammo. Just traded a friend a good solid older s&w revolver for his springer mil-spec. Along With the trade we included 200 rounds of .45 to me and 300 rounds of .38sp to him.
This is pretty much what I have been doing for the past 2 years.

If I was smart, I'd dedicate funds to ammunition and reloading supplies.

But I'm not smart. I'm an impulsive idiot.....

And the proud owner of my first 1911.

I have been buying ammo mostly. I'm not sure we will ever see pre-panic prices again, and even if we do, I think most enthusiasts are aware of the tentative availability at normal prices. Right now I feel like I'm paying way too much for standard 9mm and and .38 special but with a new ccw license cooling off in my wallet practice ammo is more important than ever. You can't justify saving money to delay proficiency when carrying a firearm.

I can't commit to reloading just yet. I work 45 hours a week and have 3 kids. My garage is always full of teen agers. Until I retire and the kids are off to college or out of the house I won't have the time or a place to reload. I figure I'm about 6 years away from reloading, until then I must must make sure I have enough ammo to satisfy my hungry shooting appetite.
