View Full Version : Ammo inventory?

Yesterday I found myself making a list my powder, bullets, and primers in an effort to figure what I had in my inventory and the possible number of rounds I could manufacture. I was impressed that I still had a case of 5000 WSP's that I bought back when they were $75/5000.
Today I picked up a couple more pounds of HP38 at $25/lb. just because it is so universal. Other than that things looked good.
(Jeepster, Scheels in Eden Prairie does have some powders and lead bullets on the floor as well as a fair amount of odd calibers of ammo (10mm, 22 mag. 45 Colt, 5.7x28, CCI stingers, etc.)
Our range, which with all the new guns sold should have over a hundred shooters per day. Last Saturday we had nine shooters and most of those really were not aware of the limited availability of loaded ammo. Makes for a long day.
Hopefully, you guys are all ammo rich and can spend your days in the basements pulling the blue handled slot machine.
Like TP, canned foodstuffs, batteries, etc. the old Boy Scout motto really becomes a thing of beauty.
Now off to the local Fleet Farm for more 50 cal ammo cans.

The new gun owners weren't at the range because they had left over ammo after they loaded the gun and they don't need any practice. Just point it at them and the bad guys will run away. No need to learn to shoot. I sure hope ammo prices go down before the election. I haven't bought any since Feb of 2018 and if the election goes bad we could see a 50% tax on it. I still have enough for a while though. Oops, I lied there. I did buy four boxes of carry ammo for my 380 this April since I wanted to change over to Precision One.

Consider the options if the election goes the wrong way for gun owners.
These three could become laws within a few short weeks and do not involve confiscating one firearm. First it is not about the gun, it is about what comes out of the barrel.
1. The elimination of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act could put every gun manufacturer out of business in a week. This bill has been introduced by Adam Schifforbrains and would allow anyone who has been shot to sue the manufacturer of the firearm and the store that sold it to the individual.
2. The elimination of all internet sales of ammunition, a bill that has been drafted many times.
3. A federal tax on every round of ammunition sold.
Sorry for the downer but I know what they have in the works should they get control of everything.
Stock it deep boys, it could become very costly unless you are a gang banger.

The points made by 340pd are all valid. If the leftists gain control shooting as a hobby may be over. Stock up for the civil war.

14 pistols - eleven 45's, two 40's, one 9 mm, and one 45 carbine. I have 3000 rounds of 45 ACP, 400 rounds of 40 S&W, and 300 rounds of 9mm. I think I'm set for the time being.

I don't think we need to worry so much about this election and we need to stop listening to the MSM and the polls from NSNBC and the left and their constant pounding of President Trump and every thing he does....All we have to do is vote, no matter how long the lines are, we stay the course and get it done....President Trump will win by a good margin because there are more right thinking Americans than there are sorry socilist losers in this great land....For now, collect ammo and arms and stay ready because it's possible that we may have to take our country back from these scoundrels....

I'm ready to get at it myself. How we gonna mark the socialist commy pinko's so we know which is the enemy? Been thinking about that some. I imagine they will cluster up some place, kind of congregate, so we just find those spots and take em all out.......

You mark them with paintball guns................................it will keep them busy changing clothes so they look good for the camera. If you offer something for free, you can get them to congregate in masses. I've seen lines a quarter mile long for a free taco, or cheeseburger, or slice of pizza. They'll wait for hours for a $1.00 taco, but get pi$$ed when they have to wait in line for 5 minutes at the bank.

You can start with the people dressed in black with black hoodies and masks. Don't bad guys always dress in black?

The problem boys and girls is, the enemy does not have to take your guns, they just have to make you not able to legally put them to use. The path to that end is listed in my comments above. Getting rid of interstate sales of anything gun related is a great start.
I talked to a gun grabbing politician last year and his goal was to just make people do is what so many did in gun grabbing attempts years ago, seal your SKS in a PVC pipe and bury in on property near your cabin. Out of sight and difficult to obtain quickly was the goal.
The problem they have now is the lawlessness that is going on in our cities is oddly becoming our friend come election time. It is up to the republicans to use that fact to our advantage in their ads.
Everyone listening, make sure everyone you know is registered to vote and fill your car with like thinking friends come election day. We really need a win in 2020.

Mark them with a SNOWFLAKE emblem......
About 4K rounds each of 45, 9mm and 380 and will still buy if I find a decent cost.
This election seems close.

"Racist" depends on which party one is a member of.

How about a little fun with the Antifa warriors. (PUNKS) Always fun to watch. Makes me want to go to the next Antifa rally.

Seems like a never ending fight for freedom.
During this latest ammo/gun shortage something like 40% of new gun buyers were first time gun buyers.
Appears lots of new folks are figuring out that having and owning guns/ammo is a good thing.
Maybe things aren't as dark as they seem :cool:

Plenty enough for the battle, but not enough for the war...
I'll have to fix that once things (hopefully) return to "normal".
