Im in heaven! Got 22?

If you've got more than 2000 rounds, in this environment, you are hoarding.

You can't be serious. Anyone who has less than 2000 round in this environment either is a new shooter, or wasn't paying close attention before the current ammo shortage.

If you paid attention when the first stupid laws, where the lawmakers started outlawing guns because they looked scary, you would know that this day was coming. Every law since then has made it more and more apparent what was going on. Is it your expectation that people who planned ahead and bought ammo steadily over several years before this shortage should just give it all away so they won't be hoarders?

There's an old fable about the ant and the grasshopper that comes to mind. I'm guessing the grasshopper thought the same about the ant.

When prices become more reasonable again, or if they do, I'll be buying and storing what I can, since I don't plan on giving up my hobby, or my guns.

Oh I Look in the mirror and I see a free-market patriot who loves liberty and thinks you educate people rather than bend them on their knees under the yoke of tyranny and make them bow to an elite like you who appoint yourself as knowing what is nest for them.

You don;t like hoarding. Fine! Educate them. But using loaded words like hoarding is not the way. they are stocking up for a risky future. and I don't blame them. You probably vote Democrat and thinks it;s just fine. LOL

Thems fightin' words MoFo. I haven't voted Demonrat since 1982.
Take your meds nutjob.

That's what I'm talikin' about!

If you've got more than 2000 rounds, in this environment, you are hoarding.

If all the hoarders stopped buying .22LR for 6 months, we would get the price back down to a rational level, like 5 cents a round.

You can't be serious. I've bought 20,000 rounds (all retail) in the last 24 months and never paid more than $.08 for CCI mini-mags and $.05 for everything else.

Yea, I'm hoarding. If your not, that's your choice.

Glad to provide this evening's entertainment while we wait for the 9th Circuit En Banc panel to reverse our CCW rights in Kalifornistan.

That is the problem I was trying to point out: some of us, even as free market as we THINK we are, deviate and start thinking WE know best for everyone else and want a "LAW" to regulate those who are less "intelligent, understanding, grasping, whatever" than us, the elite.

That is the path to communism and socialism and the ruin of this democratic republic.

And yes, I get passionate about that but I make no apologies having descended on one side from those who fought in the revolutionary war and the other from dirt-poor immigrants from the Ukraine. The lust for liberty is in my heritage and my blood and, damn it, I will NOT let someone tell me I cannot have it and live it.

[RawHP]

I don't understand some people's need to control others, take away other's rights "for their own good" and constantly blaming their problems on other people. "I don't have ammo, and it's everyone else's fault". That's like saying I don't have money, because everyone else is hoarding it; instead of doing something about it and saving it for rainy day.

Also, I don't accept the hoarding word. Hoarding is a sickness where people keep stuff with no intention of every using it. I plan on shooting every round I've collected and spending ever dollar earn before I die, except what I pass down to my kids. Luckily I haven't raised my kids to feel that they're entitled, so when they inherit my weapons and ammo, they'll appreciate it.

I usually shoot 300-500 rounds per week of match .22lr ammo mixed with .17hmr ammo. Do the math: 400 avg X 52 = 20,000+ rounds per year. Last count my inventory was 22,000 rounds. Just ordered 5000 rounds of SK Std+ from Champion Shooters Supply. I am retired and love shooting so 2000 rounds on hand may be just fine for some folks but doesn't work for me.

Not everyone goes out once a month and plinks 100 rounds of ammo. Nothing wrong with that, just saying.

Now my stash of about 5000 is feelings a little light and before anyone get's on me for "hoarding" know that I have used about 2000 rounds in less than 3 months and I just picked up a browning buck mark that tears through ammo!

This picture makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. I am going to curl up on the couch with my mag loader and load .22 mags all day in front of the fire

^^^^This!

We have 5 kids and all but one like to shoot. We shoot every weekend and 3 of us compete in .22 shoots twice per month. We go through 3k-6k rounds per month, and when my dad and I go we often go through up to an additional 3 bricks in a single trip. 2000 rounds is a dangerously low level for me, which is why I have to buy ammo every couple days.

I wonder if those crying about hoarders also cry about rich people having too much money? God I'm tired of hearing people cry about redistribution of this and that. Instead, why don't they do what others do and get their own? I'm waiting for them to show up with their sleeping bags and start the occupy Cabela's movement...

[edgerly779]

Last couple days i soldome of my 22 lr. remingon golden bullets for 7.5 cents a
round 3200 rounds. I still have about 3 k and I mostly shoot single shot rolling block stevens and remington so I should be good for a while. I was at bass pro in Vegas a week ago and 300 round boxes were $21.95 plus tax and they had a lot.

[smle-man]

Wish I had bought more cartons of surplus .22 ammo from the CMP several years ago. I just opened up the carton of 5k rounds that I did get. Standard lead bullet stuff. Thought maybe it would be golden bullet rounds.

[BLC]

They have piles at Ventura Gun Show.

[crufflers]

Ive been buying here and there, and didnt really know how much 22's i had. Today is range day, so i started to pull out ammo for the days shoot.
Well, i guess im getting pretty stocked up.
Lol.

Nice. Congrats. I still have a case of those buckets (4) plus three odd ones. The 525 packs are the ones I have been using since they are more conveniently sized. We used to get those 525's pretty easy from Cabelas for $24 or $28 shipped. Buckets usually came from Gander.

You need to work on your CCI stash though
