Ammo hoarding paid off!

Went to the range with my daughter (8) and niece (25) yesterday.

My daughter asked "what if we run out of bullets?"

Having just moved 200 .45acp, 300 .380, 500 .22lr. 300 9mm and some .22 shorts/and scraps into my range bag from the safe...

I felt confident telling her not to worry.

We put a dent in it. But came home with plenty left over.

It's odd that they love to shoot. But get scarce when they smell hoppe's. [;)][:D][:D]

    when I was that age, cleaning 'em was the best part. Dad and I spread out a bunch of newspaper on the kitchen table after dinner, as we cleaned, he'd give me a bunch a great stories about each one.

    My wife wanted to take her female friend shooting with me and my buddy. I asked them which guns they wanted to shoot (thinking 1 or 2) and they picked out about 10 from the safe. I said "OK, but you gals are helping to clean them". When we got back my buddy and I sat down to clean, and Poof... The gals were gone.

    Funny how that works

    I am with you on the hoarding. I keep an ammo can in the car filled with a bunch of different calibers. When it is time to replenish, I just go down to the cases in the basement. I am glad I am not trying to find / buy it now.

    I am starting to wonder if I should move the guns out of the safe to make room for the ammo.
