I've had to sell off some non essentials but kept about 8k of .22lr and only maybe 400-500 .22mag's - only use the mags for grouse and small game so with still finding a box here and there I'm good.

ME TOO!

20,000 rounds is a lot? Why I bet there's a good number of members right here at NWFA that have 20,000 rounds of ammo. Maybe .22, maybe others, or both combined.

Well, If you added a zero to that figure above it would be closer...

1k per trigger? I think I have more than that buried somewhere... Not that I'm paranoid or anything...

But those aren't .22s, those would never last in my house. If I had 10,000 rounds of .22 LR, that would be gone during the weekend.

I'm sure you caught the "very bare minimum" part, right?

I've bought buy the case before. So I understand about the price being cheaper by bulk.
But with my household budget the way it is now , that is not a option very often.
So now I buy what I can , when I can.
Between prices going up and ammo being scarce at times , buying a box or two , when out and about , just makes sense. Layaway works too , if the store offers it.
Even during "peak" ammo shortages , I have had enough to use and share , using this method.
That said I still miss the days of $9.00 - $ 12.00 bricks of .22LR ammo ....

Yeah, And my feeling is in a few years you are going to miss the ammo prices today. If we dont manage to keep the democrats out of the big chair I think you will see attacks on ammo. Likely new laws that restrict online sales. If Hillary get in, which I bet there is a better than even chance she does, You are gonna look back on April 2016 as "the good ol days"

Best find or make some extra money and not make the same mistake you did not buying .22 when it was cheap.

Hey! I'm 5'3"!! I bet nobody knew they stacked poop that high!

Oh, wait! This is an ammo thread??

 

[Andy54Hawken]

Yikes!! that would be scary if these are "the good old days" Ironmonster. LOL
I do not think I'm short of ammo , nor do I think I "made a mistake not buying .22 ..."
However I did say that even during "peak" shortages I have had enough to use and share.
I do think that gun and ammo companies tend to take advantage of us with things like the same size box , but with less ammo for a higher price , in regards to "the good old days ..."

I'm not downing anyone for buying one box at a time. There were times when that was all I could afford. I still buy 1 or three boxes if I'm in a store and they have a good price.

Not meaning to imply or say that you or anyone who responded is "downing anyone" Flopsweat.
I did not feel that you were.
Just posting how I buy my ammo right now...
Sorry for the confusion about my post.

Any confusion might not necessarily have been your fault.
