    Range Time Cut back?

    Who has cut back on their range time due to the lack of ability to replenish their ammo?
    I know I have.

    I practice every week, and have planned on cutting down my tactical centerfire side from 200 - 250 rounds of .45 to 150 rounds of 9mm.

    I can still swing 100 rounds of rimfire bullseye practice without grief.
    The way some gunshop clerks spout off, you'd think that they invented gunpowder and the repeating rifle, and sat on the Supreme Court as well.

        I think a lot of folks will be taking up shotgunning pretty soon. All I see at Walmart are shotgun shells. The biggest part of shooting for me is shooting accurately with my reloads. Have you seen the price on primers, shells and bullets lately? Pretty soon powder will dwindel and everyone is gouging on prices. Just ridiculous.

            Not me, I need the training.

            Thankfully .40S&W ammo is available. Hee, hee.

                  Im not sure where your finding 40S&W but send me a pm letting me know
                  I used to shoot a coupe times a week and even went so far as to join a local club to get the discount at the range and be able to shoot action matches. after shooting 3 matches im at the point where either ammo's gotta get cheaper and become available soon or i wont be shooting any more matches. Ive always had 40 to feed my H&K but even now im down to my SHTF supply and i wont shoot that. the worst part is that right before this frenzy started i sold my ruger 22/45, I really really regret it now

                  blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

                    I know I have to.

                    I went from 3x a month to maybe 1-2 or not even 1 times a month.

                    finding ammo is hard enough already but with the prices going higher every so often.

                    I need to get a .22 .

                      I certainly have... more then the lack of ammo, it's the surge in ammo price.

                        My ruger 22 is getting a serious workout lately.

                          Same here...Hard enough trying to find ammo but when you do, prices are so inflated it's hard to buy it..
