I'm hoping to score some at a gun show on saturday.

Good luck with the 30 carb. That stuff is hard to come by. Even brass to reload is tough to find.

I wonder why there has been a run on 22 longs though. It pretty much is a plinking round and not viewed so much as a defensive round.

Hmm though while I was typing this I remembered that during Vietnam SF people used a silenced 22 long to kill the dogs in the camp. They called them hush puppies

Because there is a run on ammo because people are afraid it is all going to be illegal and .22 is cheap as **** so people can afford to load up on it. That and many people probably go through much more of it than any other round.

I'm glad I target shoot with muzzleloaders, have enough powder, lead and caps for that for 10 years!

I have 500+ shotgun hulls and reload slug and buckshot to stockpile for the impending zombies

Target shooting has becoming a thing of the past....Can't afford to waste ammo!

And freakin range fees. Jeez. We used to go out to the woods, but we don't live there any more. And the ranges here are always so busy. Best go early and during the week.

The only time I go to a real range is when I'm doing it for work. I'm lucky to have friends with land and I also know of a few public spots where no one really hunts and shooting is ok.

There is a range near me that is pretty nice. Nothing special but not crap either. Its $10 all day. They have 100 yard rifle, 50 hand gun, and two shotgun stations (you have to bring your own thrower). That isn't bad at all, to me.

I am dang lucky that I have a 100 yrd range out my back door and a 1 mile range set up just down the road. I do not have to go to a range

Right there with you.

My parents have 25 acres I can shoot on anytime and my inlaws have 300 acres of beef farm that I could shoot off artillery shells on and no one would call the cops. I can get to either location in 15 minutes. Yay for country living!

Oooh and the beef farm will have a thriving population of coyotes and maybe bobcats. Yup farm living is the life for me....Green acres plug intended
