That might be a bulk purchase.

Duh!

RK, 300 rounds, 164.95+tax. Wednesday. 55 gr. With once fired brass left over.

Just topping off the stock.

 

[Magneto]

Purchased a few hundred rounds over the last few weeks. Feel better about what I have but I always feel like I could use more.

I just left Sportsman’s Warehouse in Brownsburg. They had some 556 for 10.99 (FE?) and PMC for 11.99. I picked up a few as I always do. Little here little there, all adds up.

While I was there looking at the 556 there was a middle aged Mid Eastern looking guy speaking on his phone looking at the same things. He was talking some kind of Arabic ? language. Walking away, then back again. I was in another isle and he would walk by then go back to the 556 ammo on the end cap. I went to look for something else and when my wife and I were leaving she told me he bought all the 556 ammo that was 10.99. There had to be at least 60 - 80 boxes; maybe more. She was freaking out!

I think the crap within the world has everyone’s feeling on high alert. Like I said, I picked up 2 boxes PMC for me but when she found me to tell me about that guys, she had picked up a few more boxes and said you need more.! ;-). She kept asking me, what’s he gonna do with all that. Finally she is wakening up to the world around her.

That’s not all the guy bought. While I was looking for a new speed loader she was scouting and said he was buying even more.

Anyway - Sportsman’s Warehouse Brownsburg had some good prices on 20 round boxes. Get there soon, before “that guy” (as my wife calls him) buys everything.

This is great advice when it comes to ammo buys. Kinda like casually saving change in a jar. Not much thought about, but all the while it compounds. It also lends to having a bit of variety in ammo calibers and specs.

Like to do that if I could find some .243 or. 270 win. It’s been scarce in coyote world.

Are you gonna consider giving a tip to your UPS driver?

Pfft, 58k rds of ammo? That's rookie numbers. The best price on ammoseek right now for new production, brass-cased 9mm with cheap shipping is for a 100k round pallet at 22cpr from Battlehawk Armory. Go big!

I toss dimes and quarters in a jar each night. I have done it for decades now, when its full I roll it up and buy smokeless with it. I used to be able to get two 8 lbers a year with that change, now its only one.

Shout out for Brian in Greentown...

Defensive .38 Special is hit and miss in Kokomo. When I can find it, it's kinda steep.
I have plenty of food for AR and AK not that I own any or anything. Just barter goods for well, you know!

Absolutely A great bartering tool. I don’t own guns but I do buy ammo. At some point I can use if like cash.

5.56 is too dangerous anyhow.
I heard that's a "high powered" round designed for war, and killing.


Come to think of it... I seem to remember going to war a few times, and killing people with it.
Frightening. Keep those things away from me.

I wouldn't have use for it here at home.






















Not unless somebody tried to destroy my way of life, and I was forced to go to war again.
Gee, I hope that doesn't happen.

yep, that is why I like 30-06, it is just an old hunting caliber, not like that deadly M16 round.

Exactly. AR15 bullets are meant to be shot through body armor to kill bad guys in war. That round would obliterate a deer! You need friendly old 30-06 if you want to shoot a deer and salvage the meat.

Also, 5.56 be like, "That's me on the left!"...

I got lucky this time around just relocated to IN and stocked up a little before any of the current crop of panic inducing events started. Just about out of all the 2019 priced boxes though.

In stock at Walmart in Fort Wayne

In stock at Walmart in Fort Wayne

All 3 of the WM's I visit, Greenwood, BG, and Cumberland carry a multitude of hunting calibers, even 45-70

 

[breakingcontact]

Looks like it is going up on Ammoseek. (I now 556 and everything else has been "up" for years).

I gave away several cases of 556 a few years ago.

Ouch!

 

[Judamonster]

It's kinda funny. I stock up constantly. Buy a box or 2 of something every month and add it to the pile. Not a ton of cash. $40 or so a month. Hunting, defensive, whatever is priced well. I organized it a few weeks ago and thought, man-I'm good for years. Suddenly things are dissapearing and prices are going up. Now I wish I had more. Human nature I guess.
