A grand sitting right there , WOW
Everybody has to know what they shoot and what will allow them to continue shooting regardless of outside circumstances. Several thousand wouldn't do it for me unless things are gonna get better, and there's no guarantee of that. I wont say what I have but if prices and availability are still not where I wanna buy 10 yrs from now, I'll still be good for a while.
What I try to do is keep my eyes open, and if I see something that's a good deal in the circumstance, I buy. If I don't, I don't. Worked especially well for things like .22 LR over the years. Also works real well for components, and I am especially a fan of clearance, boxes short a bullet or two, and estate sales. Though, I do not buy powder or primers at those. But, bullets or brass? Sure, why not?
Yepper, never pass stuff like that up if it's what you shoot. If a person keeps their eye out things turn up. Picked up 2 boxes of Hornady 180 gr RN for $10 a box couple yrs back at a retail shop, then when things got really hard to get I traded a can of powder a guy gave me for 2 more boxes of those180 RN bullets plus a box of 130 sp's. Traded another can of that free powder I wasn't using for a box of 358 Sierra 200 RN and some 35 Remington brass. Another can from that free stuff for a older brick of Winchester primers.
I don't see prices coming back to what they were 3-4 years ago. Just my opinion, Dan.
I will have to agree with you. Today is a new era where everything seemed to double in price. Few months back I bought a new F150 for twice as much as my 2002 was. I believe true inflation is at 110% today versus what we are being told.
Had some hail damage to my 04 truck recently. Took it in to a dealership to get an estimate for the insurance company. While I was there I walked around the lot. They have a USED truck there for $65,000. That's more than half of what I built my house for in 2001. Like I said in the above post, I'm behind todays prices and don't want to get caught up. I can't and wont pay those kind of prices.
I was going to say "your garage looked stocked"
I found this place a few years ago down in NC near one of my training sites.
I grabbed 6lbs of Leverevolution and 6lbs of TAC at 32.95 a pound. A couple LBs of IMR4831 and RL10x for a friend and a brick of the Winchester WLR primers. The IMR4831 was 51.95 a lb and the 10x was 42.00. I don’t feel like I got much of a deal, but I didn’t feel too ripped off either.
Yes , he sure did
