I’ve always said there is no such thing as too much ammo on hand. I still have CIL (Canadian Industries Limited) 30-30 ammo I bought back in 1970.
I got worried during the Clinton administration. What ammo shortage?
Shelf life is a long time on most factory ammo.
Some reloads not quite so much, depending on what type of bullet and lube is used.
A lot of young people turn their nose up on 30-30. Velocity is slow, but with 170 gr bullet it is real effective hog & deer load.
Way more knockdown than a lot of the lighter high speed ammo.
And always before, you could find ammo anywhere. Not that way the past 2 years.
