Well then neighbor post up all your online sources for ammo, firearms, accessories etc. instantly exposé those favorite great spots thousands of people.

There's 24 pages of threads/posts going back to 2009 where members have posted steals and deals on ammo here. I didn't bother to search for threads on accessories, or firearms. That would have led to even more heads up's from members over the last 10-12 years or more.

31 posts in 13 years, one post every 2 years on average. I get it, this isn't a community you pass through often, so why be neighborly.

I’m not searching for threads either. I simply told a poster my Opinion of an ammo price he had posted and it turned into this **** show. Y’all calm down and put some down range or something geez

No one suggested you search threads, I simply pointed out the number of threads where people have shared sources for ammo.

"put some down range"== BTDT for 50 years. When ya get to 1.3 million downrange, let me know.

I’m not in a competition with you man. Have a great evening alright

No, you're apparently in competition for ammo and not willing to share your sources. So yes, in fact you are in competition with members here.

i realize your arm never gets tired of reaching around to pat yourself on the back...but we used to buy a case of 9mm for less than $200 shipped.

I've still got 8-9 cases of 9mm that cost me 160.00 per 1K rds. It's unlikely I ever have to buy ammo again with the exception of 44mag.

If I didn't shoot anymore, it would be unlikely I would ever have to buy ammo again, too.

Similarly, I will never ever have to buy ski gear again. Or scuba gear. I'm "set for life" with scuba gear!

Alas... I went through over 6 cases of 9mm last year. But I haven't skied for 30 years and haven't dived for 20 years. I think, for fun, I'll go on a scuba forum and tell them what I paid for my gear 30 years ago.

Started with 62 cases in 08, threw another 10K into storage when I had the shop and it was free, down to 8-9 now. Nearly 6K a year until 3-4 years ago. That's just 9mm, still have at least 60K rds left of other calibers like 45, 357, 22lr. Forethought and storage space [ I made space ] goes a long way. Ammo is still too high, those who didn't have the forethought to stack it tall and deep are at the mercy of current ammo pricing.

In the last panic buying spree in the US when inventory wasn't available in any quantity, I sold 7 cases of 9mm for 600.00 a case or I'd have 15 cases left. The profit on that 7 cases means the remaining 8-9 cases were free plus it paid for nearly 6 cases [ 5K per ] of 22lr

You're right, now that I've not been shooting all that often [ few times a year with my brother ], and I'm in my 70's, it should last as long as I will. And when ammo gets to 160.00 a case again for 9mm, let us know.

I predict it will drop below $200 / case for the good stuff. It may take a while. But we'll get there.

I bet the lower end ammo - which I don't buy or use - could get down to $160 (16 cents / rd) again.

Supply and demand. Supply and demand.

Lets hope so the sake of those who couldn't or wouldn't spend the money to stack it long, deep and continuous.

Just curious... did you stack HP ammo deep, as well? How did you approach your inventory for defensive vs range ammo?

1K of SD ammo for every 20K range ammo, roughly. Still have about 1700 rds of SD 9mm [ only due to a case being swapped with a student who had SD ammo delivered to my house for training instead of practice ammo. I swapped him a case of range ammo for that case straight up. 45 SD probably in the neighborhood of 1800 rds. and that much as I still have a case of SD ammo from back in the early 90's that I just tucked away and basically forgot about. I've got enough SD in every caliber I shoot including 3-4 boxes of buffalo bore in my SD calibers.

I didn't plan on shooting that many people or practicing all that much with the SD ammo. Probably had too much of it then and now.

I still have a 2,000 rnd wooden case of Norinco 9mm from back in the early 90s

I've got a case of Sellier and Ballot 9mm from the early 90's myself. Back when S+B wasn't as well known. Red lacquered primers which they don't do anymore.
