So I have been looking for .308 for a while. Once fired brass, new loads, steel cased, I don't care. Places on the net charging almost $800 for 500 rds of LC M80, this is freakin nuts. Anyway I ended up finding Wolf for $396/1000 at Sportsmans Guide in stock. Cabelas is $70 higher than that and out of stock for 6 weeks. Just a heads up.
I am not panic buying. I just want to shoot my rifles, but when you are looking at each round like dollar bills burning that is hard to do. PS: Who is ready for spring mushrooms? I can't wait

I've been making myself sick worrying over my budget lately, and I was just thinking last night on the way home how last summer it was Crazy Gas prices messing my shit up, and this year, it will probably be ammo prices.
I reload, so I was a bit on the 'blissfully ignorant' side of the ammo prices. But, I definitely noticed primers, once fired brass, and bullet costs have gone way up, and they are damn hard to find! I'm gearing up for this weekends match, and I did catch myself thinking 'Okay, ~125 rounds for this match. Don't miss, cause this shit is getting expensive!' Wow...totally not what I need to be doing while shooting a match is worrying about how much a miss is going to cost me financially! Heh. |
| Thats the entire reason I stocked up on ammo and components in the last 6 years. I've got 2-3 years worth of ammo and another 2-3 years worth of components (primers, projectiles and powder) right now and still manage to pick up some once fired brass @ the range. Its no longer possible to buy it cheap, but I have the stack it deep part covered. I can't imagine having a new rifle or pistol caliber and not having over 5K in available ammo + spare components stacked within 6 months of purchase. May be why I don't get new firearms in different calibers very often, but I still go shoot as much as I ever have. The only ammo I've bought lately is .45 and 9mm when I can find it but I still spend about the same amount as in years past. I just bring home less to show for it. |
