Who do we like for SD ammo in a 10.5” SBR? I don’t have any ammo designed specifically for SD use in an SBR, unsuppressed. Something like Hornady Black 75 gr SP HD SBR. This is for use inside the house if ever needed. | |||

~10 years ago, all my pistols were .45, ammo was relatively cheap, so I am FLUSH w/practice and JHP "Flying Ash Trays" LOL 5.56 I'm good w/ practice 223 and the like, plus a solid base of proper green tips and a SHTF can ready to go. (Found nice but $$ VCI bags, those inside an ammo can should last decades, maybe generations... Seriously, I've seem military ammo stashes 30 years old, mixed storage conditions, but works. Big fan of legit MILSPEC ammo and gear). The rate I actually shoot 5.56, resupply at todays prices is not practical Good amount of rimfire, again, don't shoot it much, so probably a lifetime supply moving from 45 to 9 EDC, I stocked up on 124gr practice, but honestly am low on JHP. I have SOME HST, but it is expensive, when I splurge (Shooting EDC JHPs), it's usually what's in my carry mag plus a box of the SIG brand... 200 meter target, really should get some more 9 EDC Now 12 GA, I admit I am sucking. Late to the game here. After more range time, I really need to stock up on 12 GA. Specifically looking for more of the Aguilar 1&1/4" mini shells. love those things, but damn all I can find this year has been ~$1 a pop Honorable mention: - 38/357 are really just for pleasure. DAMN I love shooting the Python. Given inflationary factors, I probably should increase buy rate here, but this has been a shit year financially, so 12 GA, 9 JHP, and 357 had to take a back seat - Proud to say, still have a sealed can of 30-06 in Garand clips (Yeah, clips is the right word) for the EOTWAWKI (Or my kids to auction off one day) | |||

I was taking inventory of some of my reloading supplies and one thing stood out was primers. I am fortunate to have an adequate supply and grateful that the ones I have in stock are about one third the cost of today's prices. Sure powder and brass are about almost doubled and a little less for bullets. Still amazed at the primer inflation rate. ![]() I just added a new caliber recently (6.5 cm {Creedmoor not centimeters} ![]() Not so lucky on bullets or powder but after patiently waiting/looking did find some reasonable deals. ![]() | |||

The small town gun stores around here have been selling old packages of primers obtained from estate sales and customers selling them, for 10 cents each, no bulk discount and no guarantees.

When the post first started I was thinking I had enough ammunition. After sitting on it for a while I purchased another 1000 rounds of 9mm. I'm good on other ammunition but I do need to stock up on some 12ga. Living the Dream | |||

I pointed this out a while back; I firmly believe the manufacturers are making so much money on loaded ammunition that they are throttling primer production. It makes no sense. The cheapest I can locate small rifle primers is on GB for 6.8 cents each shipped (you have to buy 5000 to get that rate). Nobody else has them for less than .8 at minimum. LGS prices are beyond obscene. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

Gecco ammo in 5.56 has been excellent for me. I suspect the 9mm will be just as good. | |||

So, I was reorganizing today and found several 100 round boxes of Remington green box JHP 115 grain in 9mm I had forgotten about. I remember buying it at Walmart several years ago. In the day, it wasn't much more that FMJ. I rationalized that basic JHP was still a good practice round and better than FMJ for self-defense if absolutely needed. I picked up several boxes of this Winchester ammo a couple of weeks ago on sale. Same principle. Not the best but still better than FMJ and for the price, why not? ![]() __________________________ | |||

We have a regional sporting goods retailer, Dunham's, that is running a special on 9mm every week. Might be a box of 50, might be a box of 250. I have made it a weekly stop. ___________________________ "Opinions vary" -Dalton | |||

I could always use more. But as of now, there’s a .50 cal can per rifle, with 12 loaded mags, and a full reload on stripper clips for all magazines with desiccant packs. I can’t carry anymore than that plus standard life saving gear if on foot. Vehicle, it all goes with me.

I don't know why a view threads like this. I know what is going to happen. I couldn't resist going to ammmoseek.com and then SGAmmo. Interesting deal on bonded 64 gr. 5.56, so had to order some, and then I'm always in the market for 147 gr. 9mm, so I had to buy some of that too. | |||

Small additions. Added 100rds 5.56 today. Need to find some 357Sig local, 2 stops today, none on the shelf. Might have to resort to ordering/shipping. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Grabbed a good deal on 100 rounds of Remington Core-Lokt .308 150-grain SP. Gonna grab a couple of hundred more as money allows. My spare BCM BCG arrived the other day after some PO drama. Next are some AR gas tubes, gas tube pins, a Wolff service rifle pack, and then I'm gonna call it good with AR parts. I'm good on all mags, but I'm gonna get a few more while they're available and affordable. | |||

I have a lifetime supply of 5.56, most of a lifetime of .22 rimfire, but not enough 9mm or .45ACP to make me happy. Not enough magazines either for any of my weapons! While I would love to stock up, I am in the position of being an early retiree on disability, so very limited income. In addition, my daughter in GA lost her job back in the summer and is anxiously awaiting news about a new position at the U of GA, which I'm sure now that she won't hear about until January! Her unemployment has run out and the wife and I are having to help until this job comes through (she appears to be the top candidate). Just today I had to send her enough money to cover 2 months worth of utilities... enough to have bought another case of 9mm. Oh well, the child comes first, so ammo has to wait a while longer. _____________________________ Bill R. North Alabama | |||

It's pronounced just the way it's spelled |
I figure I have a lifetime supply of 30-06 ammo, a lot of it on clips. A few cases of 223/5.56, most in 55 grain, with a couple dozen magazines. About 1500 rounds of 30 Carbine. I’d like more 6.5 Creed, but since all I have is a bolt action, I’m ok. More 38 Super than I will probably ever use, from one of the ammo droughts when 9mm couldn’t be found. Enough 45ACP and components for the zombie apocalypse. I shoot 9mm in competition, so I run through a lot of it, if I wasn’t then I’d have a year or two supply. 10mm & 40 S&W I’m a little short on, but that’s just for range toys. I haven’t inventoried all my 22lr, but I’ve got a lot of it. | |||

I saw a decent price on some 9mm at PSA so I added 4 boxes, 200 rds, to my cart and went to check out. The shipping cost was $27.49. Nope, not happening. | |||

I have plenty but decided to buy some ammo before the normies drive up the prices or make it scarce like it was in 2013. Bought 1100 of .22 and 500 round of 9mm on black Friday. Just bought 1000 rounds of PMC 55 grain 5.56 for $509 shipped from Liberal Tears. That was better than the best deal on Ammo Seek. I think I might pick up a box of the weird stuff here and there as I drop by shops this up coming year.... | |||
