Smoke'em if ya got'em...ammo availability

[tombogan03884]

a match is minimum of 150 rounds if you don't miss 

So I would probably need 300-450 rounds.

Pulled the 1050 out.  Grabbed the 45 dyes and ran 1000  my stockpile was almost completely  depleted.  I will do another 1000 tonight than switch to 10mm.  Hopefully by the end of the week I will have a couple thousand of each ready to go.

Those aren't misses.
They are suppressive fire.

You got me to looking around at ammo.  I surfed on over to Natchez Shooters Supply and they have 22LR 500 rd Remington for $40/box which is more than I want to pay but I saw the CCI target Mini-Mags are $10 for 100.

But what really caught my eye is some unobtanium in 22LR CCI Segmented HP subsonics for $10 a box.  I really have to brag on CCI for that segmented bullet.  It does a number on varmints...no if's and's or buts.....

So I kept on looking at ammo for sale and what was being charged for it.  I am seeing about 70 cents a round for bulk 5.56/223.  45 is astronomical, 9MM is running aboutt $400/1000 rounds of 115gr. 

One thing struck me besides the high prices.  There is a lot of variety out there right now on the common calibers (except 300 Win Mag dadgummit). 

I think the increase in various types and calibers portends a price drop in the near future.

I'm not buying ammo for at least another year. The pricing is ridiculous and I can go without shooting for awhile
