Dad got a new .243 and has been complaining about ammo prices with his .308 ... Man doesn't shoot much at all.... picked 50pc of .243 another 50 of .308 ... 2 boxes 50rd each should last him the next two decades laugh

100 rounds is "decades" worth? OMG!


I have nothing clever to put here.

I used to shoot a lot. Today not so much. I always dreamed of having more than a 59 or 100 yard place to shoot at home( have had at least one of those since i moved out on my own. Today I have a 500 yard range at home and never use it. I probably don't shoot 100 rounds a year. Most of that is checking zero on the kids guns oe shooting rimfire with the kids. If I am honest with myself I could pick a single rifle out of any of them at the house and I have enough ammo for any of them to meet my deer hunting needs the rest of my life if I only use that one gun consistently. That would be if I tagged out each year, and a few shots each year to check zero. definitely more than 100 rounds but enough for my hunting needs

I never thought that would happen. Don't know when the switch occurred from having barrels set back just front shooting working uo loads chasing the perfect groups to hardly shooting but it did. Yet I was still checking on primer and powder prices and sales for black Friday. The above statement is loaded ammo not counting the 60+ lbs of powder probably 10k primers and thousands of cases bullets and brass not put together sitting on the shelf. I'm like a squirrel when it comes to ammo.

I like to shoot a bit more than that but , some people use 2-3 to confirm zero before season and then shoot some deer then buy a box for next year when they go on sale.

they use 4-5 rounds out of a box and put it in their sock drawer till next season or if there is a wood chuck in the garden.

if he uses 5 rounds a year 100 rounds is 20 years worth.

Yep , remember having a bit of a conversation with him about some of the new calibers when I built his 6mm ARC ( which is loves ). His main deal was " I'll just stick with the classic so I'll always be at to find ammo" I just said dad ... You shoot 10rd a year if that , you could get whatever wizbang round you'd like buy 200rd and you'd be set for life so who cares ? He looking at me and went " ya know...you have a point"

maybe buy 500 rounds of wizbang and be set incase things go sideways as well.
