I'm not proud of it but w/ all the ATF hubbub brewing on the Nitrocellulose issue and the upcoming election; I stocked up on some ammo. SGAmmo has IMI OTM LR MOD-1 in stock so figured I would try that instead of the usual 75 grn PPU match ammo. It's had great reviews and seems like very solid stuff. I picked up some .45 and 9mm as well. All what I'm short on.

Ironically, none of the ammo I purchased was American made...

Anybody else buy up some ammo to keep them warm this ammo-winter?

I am hoping this issue will just blow over like most of the less than stellar ideas coming from the politicos.

 

[harleyvato]

I try not to freak out, however I stock up any time I get a deal

 

[KurtC]

I would very much like to know the powder charge in the IMI 175gr load, if anyone has occasion to pull a couple.

I'm a little surprised we are not seeing things fly off the shelves as of yet, maybe in a month or so. I assume it will happen again. The economy my be keeping this limited.

 

[Chunker]

I'm sure folks have been stocking up since 08 or even before...

Howdy Buckeroos,

As already stated, it may be a case of folks with the mindset of stocking up, already have.

Along with our economy, not so great, for the time being this may put the skids on ammo sales.

That is, until someone in "authority" says something wacky.

Then ammo might start flying off of the shelves.

Keep yer powder dry,

John

If Obama couldn't do anything in 8 years. Hilary sure as hell cant. Though I did "support" our economy the last few months in ammos, however I did not "panic". Lol.

 

[Gunner1862]

I add to my ammo supply anytime I can. However what I have recently been spending my money on is powder, primers and bullets. I figure I will be using them eventually anyways.

Everyone remembers the ammo embargo a couple ad years ago , I learned my lesson then , I could still use more though

I'm not proud of it but......

There is never any shame associated with "accumulating" ammo by the folks on this forum. Here everyone suffers the same affliction. You will find threads on which everyone compares the size of their "stash". Things don't change much when boys turn into men.
So go forth young man with your head held high and revel in your addiction.
We support you!:ARM40:

Ammo - How much is "too much".....?
If you bought ammo recently, it would not be panic buying.... Prices are reasonable and not fear driven at this time....

Every time I stock up I just shoot more so I never get ahead.

I love the IMI 77 gr razor core. Even out of my 10 inch barreled SBRs it shoots little bitty groups. Been shooting it since it first came out(2013).

Most people that shoot have been through this so many times in the past are beyond the panic buying. Buy when it's cheap , when it's cheap buy it even when you don't need it, stay stocked up, and pay no attention to the shortage buying and high prices. The only change I make is less shooting when the prices are high.

 

[Snyper762]

It's a whole lot of nothing. There's a follow up from atf. Let me see if I can post pdf from my phone.

 

[russmerle]

If the ATF constitutes "shouldering" an AR pistol buffer as "redesigning" the intended purpose of the weapon making it a class III, then why does "wetting" Nitrocellulose not constitute redesigning the material into a non-explosive?

It seems like a slick "snake-in-the-grass" move from the ATF...

 

[Snyper762]

It's up on the truth about guns page.

 

[Loaded605]

I bought one pound. Not panicked, was just out. I urge you all to not panic. Then you are the problem.
