Range time

[Airwolf]

Has your range time been affected by the current ammo availability(or lack there of)? With ammo sales through the roof I am curious if people are using what they are buying, or just hoarding it away.

i have generally slowed my shooting...but i always do in the winter time. All in all not a ton of change...but maybe a slight amount.

Mine hasn't changed at all as far as the current availability of ammo goes. It is just the weather that is holding me up now. I hate to wear gloves while shooting and the 15 degrees this morning was a bit chilly for me.

I load my own for everything except rimfire and I have a decent supply of rimfire and components on hand.

Probably not changed it much, but being more intent on practice versus plinking. Probably should have been doing that anyway.

My dept was lucky enough to get 36,000 rounds after the "incident" occurred from Kieslers. However our range time has cut back a little bit. We usually go 2 times a month but getting cut back to once a month with some sims training in there too.

Don't have an indoor range near and it is just too darn cold to go out. When it gets a little warmer I plan on going next door, my neighbor has setup a small pistol range. I love living out in the sticks.

I've actually been hitting the range more often.

Same here. I need the brass.

I had just bought a Yugo SKS that i really want to shoot, but I'm short on 7.62X39 so I'
ve only been able to fire 20 rounds through it so far. Can't wait for the ammo shortage to ease up a bit.

I was going to start a similar thread. I was wondering how the lack of ammo is affecting the turnout at the various ranges. As a reloader, I thought I was almost immune to the ammo shortages but that isn't the case now. Supplies of bullets and primers are drying up for us too. I'm going to slow down a bit until I get a feel for the availability of components.

Im going through about 100 rds. a week. Just working on control. Im not going crazy, but still shooting!

 

[sarlakk]

I haven't slowed down practicing with my .45 pistol at the range, but I have stopped plinking with my .22lr rifle for the time being.

 

[LarryC]

Nope, the only thing that has affected me is the darn cold weather. I have been buying firearms, ammo and components for over 20 years and could shoot pretty regular without running out for a few years. (Might run low on a few calibers that I shoot mostly mil surplus) I'm sure there will be plenty of components and ammo available before I get worried.

 

[disGRUNTld]

It is about the same as always for me but price drops in ammo may change that.

Sadly yes. Only putting about 100 rounds a month through my edc but not doing any plinking.
