It is a shame they don’t make a 25 round magazine that fits my Remington.

Just picked up 4 boxes of .223 at the local farm supply store for $23.99 for each box of 20. They had more boxes on the shelf but the sign there said limit 4 boxes per person. They didn’t have any .22 or 9mm but did have lots and lots of 12 gauge ammo.

They have helicopters, tanks and drones

And we have a GA air force, their tanks can't maneuver and drones can either be shot down or their control freqs interfered with.

They got nothing on us.

WOW, Walmart was stocked with lots of 12 and 20 gauge boxes. Cabela’s had a ton as well.

I just put on my reading glasses and I can see just a bit of the receiver behind his hand so the photo is probably real. I can also see the rifle sights on what is probably an 870 slugster or whatever they call it.

I’d just go ahead and reload my own ‘till the prices go back down. Problem solved.

Cheers

When the SHTF, I figure I can pick up the ammo off of the dead bodies (of barry’s civilian army).

I just decided to get into reloading. Stores are sold out. Online stores are mostly sold out. EBAY vendors are selling equipment for double and triple normal prices.

Shotgun ammunition is still very available and relatively cheap.

Depends on what you want. Birdshot and such is plentiful. 00 & 4 buckshot not too. And *starting* at $1 a round. Ditto for slugs.

A case of birdshot isn't going to make me feel too secure if things get ugly.

he should have been holding a black full auto musket with a black magazine and a musket pistol grip.

Express Shipping or Shipping to States (for items that can be sold to US citizens - no firearms or ammo)

Oh well, thought I recalled they wouldn't ship to the US.

Yeah, I figured it was only a matter of time before the market would swing over and lash out at the reloaders.

I’ve been reloading for about ten years, now. My wife has been reloading for about 15 and is the one who taught me! LOL. Anyway, we’re sitting on a modest stockpile of gunpowder, lead, primers, and spent cartridges. We haven’t bough any new ammo since around the time Obama came into power and the prices for factory loads started heading skyward.

The only things we pay for are the primers and the powder, but, like I said, we’ve got a decent stockpile of those, so we don’t need to buy any of that except every couple of years. And, they’re still hecka’ cheap.

Anyway, to get free brass, this is what we do: Every couple of months, my wife and I go to the shooting range and fire off a few rounds. While we’re there, we scrounge through the spent brass collection buckets and “acquisition” any spent cartridges in the sizes we need. BTW - ProTip: We put the brass cartridges in our daughter’s rock tumbler to clean them up. :)

For the lead, we head on over to our local tire shop where we’ve worked out a deal with one of the mechanics wherein he saves all the old, used balancing weights removed from customers’ tire rims when they get a new tire. Then, we go home, melt the lead, and pour it into our bullet molds.

[Zombie Apocalypse Note: In the event of an apocalypse, there’s gonna’ be a LOT of unbalanced tires on the cars in our neighborhood! LOL.]

Then, when we’re good and ready, we just sit around the house with our reloading equipment and start crankin’ those puppies out! We can usually crank out about 150 rounds per hour. 200 on a good day when we’re “in the zone.” Even our 5-year-old daughter gets into the action. She’s on the front-end of the line; hands us the brass and lead — wearing rubber gloves, of course.

Anyway, hope you can get a hold of some reloading equipment and join the club. It oodles and oodles of fun for the whole family!

Cheers!

$2.95 for 5 rounds of Royal OO Buckshot at Sportsmans Warehouse if you have one close by. About the same price for slugs. The stores in NM have plenty.
