I just figured that it's better to buy when it's cheaper and i really don't see it getting cheaper than it was last month anytime in the next couple of years..
I also love it when i want to go shooting, and i just have to walk outside and load some rounds vs. trying to buy it at the last minute and spend a fortune.
I too, also hope the hoarders/hedgers flip over to the 223 and get bruned, and finally some 22lr starts to hit the shelf reliably.. I only have 1000 or so left and the kids can burn through it fairly quickly.
I also think that toilet paper would be a good curency in a bad situation too.. The alternative is not as nice. lol
As my son is preparing for Nationals competition, he is shooting at LEAST 1000 rounds of 22LR every two weeks. Last year I shot centerfire's somewhere around 7000 times. I have planned and have components & ammo we use a lot, put up; but shooting that volume it's about impossible to "prepare" for much more than a year out. Finding a steady source of decent 22LR has been really tough (I'm not buying or looking for bulk stuff but the scare has taken MUCH of the mid-priced match ammo). I'm still trying to wrap my head around your statement that you "hope" shortages happen and other sportmen suffer. Sounds like your going to need something soon. Good luck with that.
