Unintended Consequences (ammo bill)

[Rosebud22]

So, I am shooting the bull with guys at the range and discover since the passing of the ammo bill, people are stock piling huge amounts of ammo. I am talking 10,20, 30 thousand rounds. The end result of the new ammo bill is California will be the biggest ammo dump in the world! So, how many rounds to you have or plan to have? I working towards 30K (22LR).

More like the Gov. is creating more handloaders. I know a horde of folks who are taking it up... finally.

How the fudge are you working on 30k 22lr when theres none to be found for the past 3 years?! Haha

Since the first week of July, I have decided to spend $1000 a month on ammo until the first of the year. As well as reloading equipment and supplies.
With that kind of spending you get to know your sales rep by name!

The stories I hear about one of the major ammo companies selling $35,000 worth of ammo last year, and this year almost $700,000 so far is no joke!
Adding another warehouse and 40 employee's just for California.

These laws are always knee jerk, and we knee jerk on the other side of the spectrum.
People who I never would have considered being gun owners are buying lowers just because they won't be able to. My local gun stores can't even keep up at this point.

So in my county of Calaveras alone, thousands of guns and tons of ammo are coming in. Local UPS hired another driver to ride shotgun to my little town due the weight of ammo they are unloading.

I can't even fathom whats happening in other cities across Ca.

I have about three bullets
One in the gun.
One for backup.
One for reloading.

That's a fair start.

Posts like this feed the anticipatory frenzy, driving up demand, which increases scarcity which drives up cost. Soon, we will be berating the hoarders and price gougers.

Every election cycle brings fear which creates anxiety buying. This year's ammo laws compound it, but don't go into operation until 1/1/2018. Out of state purchasing controls hit in July 2019. (Newsom's initiative moves that date to 1/1/2018.)

This years' focus should be on buying guns which will become untouchable AWs on 1/1/2017.

I'm waiting for the "Maximum Ammo Stored" bill. I've got a backhoe and 5 acres.

Im slightly over 20k for all calibers I shoot. The majority of it is in 9mm. Have healthy stockpiles of 12 gauge, 223 and 22lr.

By my estimate, 1 match a month, 1 practice session before each match, I'll be good for 3 years.

I'd stock pile more but I can't afford it. Most of it was purchased in the last 6 months.

To address the issue, I now have a reloading set up. Currently stockpiling for that too.

There has been plenty of it around, you just have to jump when it becomes available.

It won't take long, Newsom is coming soon.

I'm up to about 10K of a mix of .22, .17 HMR, .223/5.56, 9mm, .40, .38/.357, .380, and various 12g shotshells.

I've been building this up over the last 5 or 6 years, I just buy double what I plan to shoot any time I go to the range and stash the remainder.

Sounds like another boating accident in the making.

[Rickrock1]

I have approximately 100 rds for each caliber totaling 200 rds. 22lr and 32 cal
