Ammo shortage - Did any of you guys run out of ammo today?

[500grains]

It is not really a shortage until you run out...

[4thIDvet]

Nah not yet 500grains. I don't have any guns left thank God so no one can get hurt around here but I do have about 13,000 mixed assortment of live ammo.
Reloading equipment about 15 lbs. of powder primers shells etc. Hell spare change just bought it over the years and stored it away for a rainy day. Someday I may buy another fire stick but my good buddy 44044 convinced me fire sticks are evil.

Nope, not yet. I scored another 25 round box of Hornady Critical Defense 9mm Luger early this afternoon (scored a box a couple weeks ago also).

Took Mama and her new LCP II out today and put 100 rounds through it. Also put 150 FMJ steel case 9mm, and 25 rounds of the above mentioned CD ammo through my Sig Sauer P365XL. It ran the CD flawlessly so, I'm now carrying it loaded with CD instead of FMJ. I still carry my 1911A1 in a shoulder holster too.

Didn't really put a dent in my stash. I will buy whatever calibers I stock, when I see them. But I'm not running low by any means.

it took me days to get my ammo cans in order after the move. My buddy is suppose to get me some tags with wire ties to mark my hoard.

The flaked obsidian points on the three darts I have for my atlatl are just fine...they are enough for a good start!

No I want the hang tags so I can put more information on them. Caliber, headstamp, strippers, pouches, spoons, bullet type & weight, price paid for & date received.

Some of the cans came from an older friend & he used masking tape with Sharpie, spray painted a spot & Sharpie. Those cans look like shit!

Hell I dug out more en-blocs from a filing cabinet.

I would really like to find an old oak & glass display case for my switch blade collection. Right now they are in the original boxes but out of sight. It's to nice a collection not to display.

Gotcha. I understand about the additional info on the tags.

As far as a nice display case for your switch blade collection, do you have wood working tools, or know of someone near you that does wood working?

I remember as a young boy, my grandfather gave my folks a bunch of rough cut Walnut from trees they had felled from their farmyard, in Grinnell IA. I made an 'entertainment center' for my folks in 10th grade 'Woods Class' in H.S. I wish I still had that rough cut walnut today.

Having gone through a local trade school's cabinet making and millwork degree program a few years ago, I wish I had that walnut!

But....

Military ammunition cans are military weapons of mass destruction that only domestic terrorists have...was it billybob, bush II or barry the queer that made that decision?

I'm doing good everything, there's still 1260 round tubs of 308 under the basement steps and tins of 7N6 5.45x39 by the reloading bench.

I really like the look of an old store showcase/display case. The small towns around me Main Street no longer exists because of Chicom-Mart. I think I might be able to luck into what I wanted.

U ain't seen nothing yet...time to make your own powder 2...the equipment to do so is cheap at Harbor Freight...though some modification may be required to the tumbler so it takes one made out of PVC with pressure closure ends.
