Cheaper to buy it on the secondary market.... Armslist or Texas Gun Trader is running .48 to .55 cents per round.. No taxes and no shipping... I don't mind meeting people to buy and sell ammo....

I've had a second friend in as many days asking to buy some 9mm from me... Told him no and that if I had sold what people asked of me just in the last few weeks, I would have been out 1000 rounds... Sent him over to Texas Gun Trader though...

Spending lots of time getting aquatinted with all of my 22's again.... Forgot how fun they are....

Wait, $0.24 is a "great price" and $0.30 is only if you are "hard up" price? That's a pretty narrow window.

No legal issues just selling the plastic/rubber/glue/wax bullets, I would think.

True... But I could do fun shapes and colors....

Years ago I had some plastic 357 cases and rounds.. You just threw a primer in the case and pressed a new round into the case... They were powerful enough to put dents into sheetrock (sue me, I was in my early 20's) I've not actively looked for those in years, I wonder if they are still made...

Makes me glad I bought a .30-cal 225gr mold

HMMM.... I do some resin casting and 3d printing... Maybe I should start casting some plastic bullets for training rounds... I wonder what the law is for manufacturing and selling plastic bullets.. I would assume that there wouldn't be any issues.... No different than airsoft pellets I would think...

My original post was July 18th... I was getting a bit taken aback when people were trying to sell 9mm at 20 cents per round... Wish I had 20/20 vision. Less than 1 month later and I'm looking at an add for 9mm at 41 cents per round and the sad part is that is actually somewhat reasonable conpared to other ads I've seen... I'm still hesitant to buy right now though... I'm still decently stocked up on most all of my normal calibers and even some of my off calibers...

I snagged a pristine Ruger GP100 yesterday from TGT and the guy threw in a full box of .357 mag with it... Even though I got the gun for $600.00 (which I though was a pretty decent deal, this was the older version with the rubber and wood grips). The free box of ammo added at least $30.00 value to the gun... I think I was more excited about getting the ammo than I was the revolver.

I would like to hear what the group thinks is the "target" amount for each type weapon.? Thanks in advance.!!

It’s different for everyone. For me a minimum of 1000 rounds per caliber on the ones I don’t shoot very often. My personal target is 5k to 10k rounds for the ones I do shoot often.

Just as the title says, what are my fellow enthusiasts doing right now. Me, personally I’m just sitting back being very content with what I have in stock. I’m probably losing friends because I won’t sell them any of my 9mm. Oh, I’d probably let go of some of my.22lr if I had too but everything else is just gonna be tucked away. I’ve reduced my range trips and limit myself on how much I bring.
