Minding my own business, I walk into the shop and ask my buddy how he’s doing. “Just the guy I wanted to see”, he says as he plops two cardboard boxes on the counter. “I just got these over the counter. Three hundred bucks. If you don’t want it, it goes out on the shelf for more than that.”
Ok, so I look through it….full boxes, factory ammo, of 9mm, .45 ACP, .30-06, .22, and one lonely box of .444 Marlin. Did some math in my head annnnnd….
“Okay.”
Funny thing is, I don’t even have a .30-06. And I own exactly one pistol in .45 AARP and i never shoot it. But…for the price it seemd like a reasonable deal, And I can always sell it off for about twice what I paid.
The .22 ammo will go on my ‘range ammo’ shelf, and I’ll probably squirrel away the 9mm ammo somewhere. I suppose I should get a .30-06 at some point for the same reason everyone should have a .22 rifle – the ammo is pretty much everywhere.
So…thats what $300 gets you in todays market.
Glad a good deal found you. The dark truth-humor is, that’s probably what’s going to happen to all my ammo (10x) when I kick it.
Well, what happens to YOU anyway, lol. Color me a bit envious – ammo deals such do not happen to me. Glad to see your good fortune – happy shooting..
You have to be Irish. Probably from the fens. Bog Irish don’t have that kind of luck. The Biden clan are bog Irish.
Commander:
At what point is it a good idea to standardize?
Lets say you plan to use 308, 9mm, 12g and .22.
Other than some “trade goods”, why carry other calibers…
Having just to have costs – either financially or in storage space.
I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Right place, Right time, carry cash
Just got offered a LARGE tool set but may pass as not able to sell off what I don’t keep
