So here’s my tricks
Academy still has reasonable prices, but they get pillaged as soon as shipments arrive. Which is usually mon-wed-fri If you time it right, you can get (only 2 per customer) boxes of common rounds and get enough to shoot.
Usually there is at least one local decent reloading outfit near all of us. They usually sell for about .6 for 9, .7 for 45 etc. ok for keeping practiced.
Lastly, checking ammoseek.com multiple times a day. I got lucky last week and found .224 Valkyrie for .7 a round. 40% of usual prices.
Ordered 400 of them!!

Nice👍! Our local basspro is 45min drive and usually a waste of time. I've been keeping an eye on my two internet places. They have been disappointing to say the least.
200rd box at bulk ammo of winchester is 170.00. I was buying that for $85 for 500rds.

From about 1990 to 2005, I bought silver whenever I could - a couple silver Eagles here, maybe a couple 10oz bars there, even some silver dimes /Quarters by the bag. I spent the last 15 years buying ammo whenever I could - a case every payday when I could, just a few boxes when funds were tight. A conservative estimate is about 150,000 rounds total. There are thirty two of the 20mm ammo cans (I love them, because they hold about 4,000 rounds each, the lids come completely off, and they are air/water tight) that hold the bulk of my surplus. The .50 cal is in eight .50 cal cans, naturally. The wire rack is the stuff I shoot when I go out, as I avoid going into my surplus. I remember not too long ago, getting 9mm for $120/1,000 rnd case, .45 for $160/1,000 , .223 Green-tip AP for $225/1,000 and .308 for $350/1,000. I think the ammo I have has appreciated much more than my silver...

Dang I need to step up my game. I only have 4 20mm cans and 12 50cal cans. You definitely are not running out quick with the 20mm cans they be farking HEAVY! FUNNY thing I looked at the two 8lb powder kegs I have, they were bought several years back. I paid $50 each for the Unique and Bullseye powder. You can't touch it now for less than 150.00 I believe.
Nice collection Mark!

Fire Marshall Biden suffers from antibody induced encephalomyelitis. Guess he didn't read the insert.

Here's one from Ron DeSantis to a reporter, "I'm here for a Press Conference. I'm not here to make you "feel" better. You're responsible for your own feelings."

I'm pretty well set on pew pews, but I still buy 5.56 Green Tips for my son's Wylde at about $1 a round (ouch) cause I wamt to get him up to comfortable level. IMO everything is coming to a head and a ammo shortage of Biblical proportion is coming.
I get email notices for stuff. Outdoor Limited sent me one that stunned me:
22 CENTS A ROUND FOR 22LR ?!?!The shape of things to come ?
