How many of you have altered your shooting habits due to ammo price increase?

[bigthaiboy]

I shoot alot less often. Shoot more 9mm than .45ACP. I just shoot a few mags of centerfire then plink away with my .22s. Also bought a few new .22 guns too. I still have a big stash of surplus ammo, but since many supplies of surplus ammo have dried up, I have to ration myself, as to make it last.

I'm another who is very interested in learning to reload.

Building a 9mm AR. I hope it handles 9mm Wolf well with its blow back system. Wal-Mart 9mm Value Packs have gone up `$4 since I last bought some.

Shoot more 5.45x39 and less 5.56x45.

[Moonclip]

Shooting? I just collect now.

Seriously though I test out what I buy and put them away while I wait for the day when I can afford to shoot regularly.

Me too for the most part. And I have been shooting even more .22lr than usual. I probably have at least 20 rimfire handguns now.

I really haven't paid attention to the prices as much, I wish I could order mail order, however living in San Francisco I'm stuck just buying retail. Though I need to drag myself to a gun show, hopefully there may be one or two before the issue with the Cow Palace comes to reality. Otherwise I just don't shoot that much, I find myself buying a rifle or handgun on occassion, this way I get the things on my 'want' list before anything changes with being able to obtain certain weapons.

[chokeyourself!]

i haven't even shot my oll's this year i've only been shooting my beretta 96 indoor, 3 times this year.

[DrunkSkunk]

Haven't changed too much, I shoot alot of 22lr with the ciener but have always done that.
Still shoot 200-500 rds during a range session of 223.

Started reloading. Funny thing: Thought I was gonna save money by reloading. I'm more broke now than ever....

[Centurion_D]

i only shoot a couple mags of .223/5.56 now.put the ar away and break out the .22 for the rest of the day at the range.

You got that right bro...I went ahead and purchased 1,100 rounds of Federal .22lr for $25 w/tax at wally world. One box should last me all day at the range..

Yup.

"But I save sooo much if I buy the primers in 1000's..."

"I save sooo much if I buy the powder in 8 lb jugs..."

Psht, noobs. I was conserving ammo BEFORE the whole price explosion. Nevermind that I didn't shoot as often as I would have liked to due to my massive and debilitating laziness.

[tazmanian devil dog]

Yep. I reload my ammo. I also shoot .22s alot.
