Who's stockpiling?

HuntinFool · Dec 20, 2012

I found 500 round packs of blazer .22s for a steal at our local hardware store today, and I told the lady that I would take it all. I now have 8000 rounds of .22 ammo and more on the way from cabelas that I had purchased before I bought this. I am not buying it because I think it will become unavailable I am buying it because in 2008 when everyone freaked out after Obama get elected the price went up and stayed up.

I sold all my guns and ammo Monday on KSL.com, A mexican in a brown chevy bought it all. I even have the receipt

DEAR LEADER KNOWS WHAT IS BEST FOR US AND WE MUST COMPLY!

Darn boat accidents. I can't even find my canoe. If someone sees it please call

I can't find any ammo, KSL decided it was evil, and we all know they are the moral compass for the state!

I am starting to stockpile reloading stuff. I remember when we couldn't find .380 so I hopefully I can just make my own ammo.

I hate ammo hoarders

I am not stockpiling, I am already stockpiled. I got caught short the last go around on finding enough LP primers. I refused to pay the 50 bucks per thousand primers that the scalpers were asking for.

As soon as the prices started getting back to normal, I went to Miwall distributors nearby and purchased primers for 135 bucks for 5 thousand.

I am sitting on about 6-7 thousand bullets of different calibers, over 17 thousand primers for large pistol, small pistol and large rifle. I have around 50 pounds of rifle & pistol powder. My most used pistol and rifle powders are in 8 pound kegs. about 5 pounds of black powder for the one 50 cal. black powder rifle I have.

When the above bullets get low, I have approx. 1,000 pounds of bullet alloyed lead and many different pistol & rifle molds to cast more bullets. Over 5000 brass cases of different calibers. If I confine my shooting to about 1200-1500 rounds a year, I have enough ammo to last at least 12 years. That is not counting the 5 thousand rounds of 22lr ammo I have.

I started stockpiling four years ago, I have the ability to make a ton of ammo for 50 different calibers. My friends that have been sleeping for four years are begging me to make ammo for them. I work in a warehouse, when Fedex Freight showed up for a delivery they had 6 pallets of 223 and misc handgun ammo, wish he would have accidentally unloaded it at my place.

50 different calibers? Really? mtmuley

deepforks · Dec 29, 2012

its funny, the cabelas here in boise and the sportsmans warehouse in meridian have plenty of reloading components on the shelves. if any local boise fellas are looking for an ar-15, a little birdy told me cabelas has some they are waiting to put on the floor. not really a secret. call cabelas and they'll tell you the date. it'll be a madhouse, but if you're there early enough, you just might get one. they put some out monday and were sold out in three hours.

Not if you are looking for anything in .223.

dirtygrass · Dec 30, 2012

ya, post a photo.

mtmuley · Dec 31, 2012

Those are CARTRIDGES, not calibers. That's why I had a question in the first place. I'd like to see a pic of your reloading room. mtmuley

dirtygrass · Dec 31, 2012

Wow, really?

dirtygrass · Dec 31, 2012

And a picture of this years deer.

hntbambi · Dec 31, 2012

Would you really want to give a potential thief a list of what you have available and where to look? You never know who is looking at these posts. Tracing IP addresses is not too hard. Just does not seem like good OPSEC to me. Just sayin.

dirtygrass · Jan 1, 2013

Not really worried, you should see the room I have my stuff in, walk-in safe room, concrete walls with a safe door plus a security system. Big selling point when I bought the house.
