Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dirty" data-source="post: 329038" data-attributes="member: 6535">I just now peeked at this thread a little more closely. I can’t believe that, because I saw the writing on the wall years ago and started building up a cache of bullets for my kids and I ( got enough 12, 20, .410 shells of every shape and size to last all of our lifetimes), I’m now a “hoarder”??? I bought shells when there were sweet deals because it was obvious they weren’t getting cheaper. I also bought a little more frequently when I saw that with every new president and every new “mass shooting” things got a little wilder. That’s just playing it smart. Some people keep 100 cases of beer or bottled water on hand. I keep 100 cases of bullets (and beer and bottled water). Last year a buddy of mine wanted to go pheasant hunting and was amazed that he absolutely could not find a box of shells. If his buddy (me) wasn’t so prepared ahead of time, he’d have missed out on a great hunt. If you like hunting as much as I do, don’t wait for prices to go down or supplies to stabilize. Buy a couple boxes throughout the year every time you see something you might shoot. It isn’t hoarding, it’s being smart. I check the selection every time I go to buy clothes, groceries, dog supplies, etc. If something is there that My kids or I may shoot one day I grab a box or two. I don’t plan on stopping that any time soon. I also don’t blame someone who does buy 10 boxes every time they get a chance. Why not? If they are on the shelf and you anticipate needing them, buy them. Same as always, they aren’t getting any cheaper and the next perceived catastrophe is going to cause a shortage again. No need rendering yourself short on ammo out of sympathy for others who have done so.  If anyone is absolutely in dire straights for a box or two of shells, please let me know. I can spare some because I can always slowly replenish at today’s ungodly prices.</blockquote>
