[kbf64]

Seems like this year people will fall into one side or the other, what's your plan? Stacking in your closet, or getting out the the range regularly in 2021?

Your title should be "Who is holding and who is shooting". I'm not buying anything at the prices that are being asked. So I'm not able to hoard. I'm supplied fine and shooting very little.

My plan...?
The same as always...enjoy my life and enjoy what I like to do.
I will go shooting and teach others to do the same.

I'm laying on my ammo hoard like Smaug the Ammo Dragon as I type this.

 

[Knobgoblin]

I'll shoot as much as I have the last couple years, infrequently. This isn't about ammo cost/availability. I just don't have the time . Maybe in a couple more years.

Yep - not much different than in 2008 and for a couple years thereafter.

Regardless, Pine cones are still dying regularly in the woods near me and soon the jack rabbits will be fleeing from a guy carrying a WInchester mod 94 in either a 26 or 20 inch variety!

Eh ... shooter, I guess. I shoot when I like to and weather permits. Have supply from past years; replenish when I can. Some I shoot a lot more now (like revolvers, little carbines, and SMG) some never anymore (like shotguns). Sadly, I have lots of latter, but maybe not enough of the former cartridges. Such is life.

All I know is visit to specialist in the city today said I am in very good health and I found lots of ammunition for revolvers and some carbines at Sportsmans. Life is good.

I'm going to load more than I shoot. I'm going to shoot less centerfire primer rounds than I would have.

Living the dream here. I shoot whenever I feel motivated.
Years of compulsive ammo buying has finally paid off.

 

[P7M13]

if you're not shooting, you're hoarding, even if it's a meager amount.
As of now, I'm hoarding, largely propelled by the demands of my work. As soon as I can, you better believe I'm going to go do some gratuitous blasting.

Ditto, and ridiculous amounts of reloading materials as well.

@AshWilliams .... "Smaug the ammo dragon"....

 

[1911coltguy]

Shoot even more now that there's less people at the range and friends with new guns. They get to try my guns and I get their once fired brass. Win Win.

 

[rscanady]

Both!?!

 

[fredball]

Usually go shoot 4 times a month or more depending ,And I'll keep doing it that way till I run out of bullets

 

[41mag]

I'm using some of my old unfavorite loads in some unfavorite guns.
No wonder I didn't like them before!!!

2021 - Who is hoarding and who is shooting?

Me.

 

[Gbirk]

Stacking in your closet, or getting out the the range regularly in 2021?

Yes.

Last 2 or 3 months i've been stacking deep as i can, and have really expanded my reloading bench. At the beginning of the Covid panic i replenished my stock of 9mm, .223/5.56. Luckily i live close to a few stores that sell ammo and can check them regularly. Bimart has been my best source. When they get ammo in it's only a little higher than normal price wise.

 

[No_Regerts]

I'm not shooting certain guns as much. Others, I have some ammo to spare.

one interesting note, we usually get 16 hours of mandatory range time per year and 12 hours of optional range time. Comes to about 2000 rounds. We are down to 4 hours and 300 rounds.

I am shooting, loading, hoarding, sharing. I've been giving some ammo and supplies away to friends. I've been loading for friends and waiting to borrow a Dillon setup for dies I don't have yet. I've been shooting but it's been less nd more structured which has been needed for some time. I've been buying stuff as the deals come along. Never know when you'll need something. Suomi parts have become very handy in all sorts of things for me. My PPSh using a Suomi charging handle spring as a striker spring. I've even found a use for the Suomi drum I have. Sadly the Suomi barrel hasn't made it I to anything yet.
