What is your idea of an ample stock? Without any extra practice I go through about 3000 rounds a season just for match ammo. Some of us do not have endless supplies of money for buying pallets of ammo on speculation.Lesson learned: Should have stocked up and have had ample supply to carry you through times like this.
No offense but try cutting the cable, cell phone, vacations, and other non esential spending. Personally I feel one should have a 3 year ammo supply on hand at a minimum to get through situations like this or more importanly A true SHTF situation.What is your idea of an ample stock?

I do. I don't purchase at those rates. Works for me. And it apparently works for those who are prepared to pay such prices. Everyone's happy. Except, of course, those who didn't see it all coming and who have burned through the stash to the point of needing much more.I see where a well-known armorer in Virginia is now selling PRV ammo for $35 per 50 round box. This ammo was $11 last summer. Sleep well, my friends.![]()

I'd rather hunt, forage and fish myself. Some of us haven't lost our survival skills without the need to be hand fed by grocery stores..
You guys that have not prepared with proper ammo supplys will likely be complaining when food shortages hit and the grocery store is gouging for that bag a beans and rice. Stock up now. A 50 lb bag a rice can be had for $20. You will really be compaining when you go a few days without eating. I challage all to go on a three day hunger strike and then think about proper food storage.
Ample stock for my needs and lifestyle differ from everyone else's. That is for each to decide for themself. I'm certainly not well off financially, but it makes it easier to afford things like ammunition through choices made. I handload all my ammunition, except rimfire, and cast all my bullets. I haven't shot jacketed bullets in years. I don't shoot competitively anymore, maybe fire a couple hundred rounds a month including rimfire.What is your idea of an ample stock?
