I just have to remind myself that everything I'm shooting was bought back at the normal prices---not the obscene prices it would currently cost to replace the stuff. It'll hopefully normalize out again as it has in the past ammo and reloading component panics.
 
I just figure having consumable resources I dont consume is silly so having having guns and ammo and not shooting seems silly ... But still !!! :shock:
 
Well ... That was a BLAST!! If its possible to be in love with inanimate objects .. I ?MAY? get a little bit of the chubby when shooting my Sig 229. So sweet

Gave some quality time to my 3"gp100, my forever gun but

Like most of you I bought most of my components before the latest great rush but assuming ammo is going about .70 a round I, in theory, sent about $56 dollars down range along with range time fee. While it doesnt cost me that to make them ... still Feeling a little

Here's the part that I can't get past in my head - I paid $16.50 per 1K the last time I bought primers. And while at the rate I've been shooting the last 10 years I probably have enough to last the rest of my life, it still bothers me what the current replacement cost is.

At some point I'm just gonna have to say "f it" and start using 'em up. They're not going to last forever and neither am I.
 
I'm shooting the same as I have for years. Sporting Clays/skeet/trap at least once a week, handguns at least once a week, rifles here and there, around once a month and I shoot the same amount of ammo I always did, perhaps a bit more shotgun the last year than prior years.

I'm pretty sure I have enough to last the rest of my life, but I still buy any component that's a deal whenever I find it.

Yup ... the last thing I want is to die and my wife finds a new boy toy and he opens my special closet and he says " dayum ... look at all dem primers, powder and bullets!"

Screw that .. if I cant take it with me Im gonna use em up!!
 
Heading to the range tomorrow to sight in two rifles. Upgraded the scope on my .308 JP LRP-07 and put the scope that was on it on a new back up AR-15. Also need to sight in the 45 degree offset irons on the back up AR-15. Just got finished bore sighting both to minimize ammo usage. The JP likes 155gr Hornady Steel match which I thankfully stocked up on long ago when it was around $32 for a box of 50. I don't even want to check out how much it would cost to replace it today if you could even find it. The primary AR-15 shoots very well with Wolf Gold so that's what the backup will get sighted in with. I think I bought the Wolf when it was $280/case. Guessing that is a little more expensive right now also....

However, I feel the same as Boriqua. I bought the gun and ammo to shoot so shoot them I will.

If he hasn't found the reloading supplies already, he ain't going to when you're gone 😄
 
gotta play the long game, boobie trap baby, boobie trap and not the fondling kind,

its unreal all the folks pm'ing me about the old post on primers and powder, thinking i'd have some left,

myself and a couple others are on a 6 month back order for a huge order, which, we may or not get in my life time, if i'd only held on to a few more, i'd probably had enough to get me to the dirt nap, with out concern,

Sorry, Man. I really needed some Longshot! Even though I knew that even asking was a longshot.

I do appreciate you looking to see if you had any though... Or at least making me think that you looked.
:lol:

It’s popped up in stock at both Midsouth and PV in the last 2 days. 8#ers. Watch grafs and Natchez closely the rest of the week.
