That's why you get them when the getting's good.. that's code for have them/keep them for hunting and then don't shoot them at pop cans.
Shouldn't be that difficult to keep a box of twenty laying around.. should last some years on deer/elk.. perhaps twenty.
Yep, as a general rule. I'm sure this is 'normal' for most of you, but when I was relatively new to shooting/owning my own firearms. I used to buy ammunition, go right to the range and blast it all away; saving very little/none. Nowadays, I tend to 'stock' at least 3/4 of the ammunition I buy away, and only use about 1/4 (of said newly purchased) for 'range fun'. Their are still decent ways to train/practice without using up ammo, not that you should never go out and shoot. But use what you have very wisely.
If you buy bulk of 1000 rounds, put aside 200-250 for range and get the most quality out of your practice. Not even talking necessarily JUST for SHTF, but ammunition-scarcity we still see going on right now... Doesn't hurt to stock up while you can for cheap...
Sorry for off topic.
