Ho Ho Ho

Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:

Does this look like $125? On the other hand, they were delivered right to my doorstep when I know there’s none to be had within a hundred miles, so I’m not complaining.

Not for me, of course, since I lost all my firearms in that tragic canoe accident a while back. Stocking stuffers for the boys and son-in-law. Should be a pretty good Christmas this year.

$1.25 a round? I’ve seen 5.56 higher than that. That’s some good shopping.

We may have to talk.

Hypothetically, I mean.

  1. I quit watching TWD when they ran a story arc about how reloading brass was mysterious, arcane knowledge so rare that only a few individuals could do it successfully, like turning lead to gold.

  2. Last year CCI made red and green tipped .22LR that came in a nice holiday jar.
    I gave a few people that for Christmas last year.

    My relatives loved getting the gift of ammo.

    I contacted them this year and they are not making it.

  3. 1.25/round is highway robbery. Did Sgt. Schulz snuck in an executive order prohibiting sales of ammo along with the lockdown mandate?

  4. Joe – I’ll let you go for the blunderbuss. I’m going to stick with a sword and a bow. Or, maybe a wrist rocket – fast rate of reload, and pretty accurate.

    On a side note, since ammo is scarce, I’ve managed to do more dry-fire training than I have in years. It’s good to get back to basics sometimes!

  5. I recently saw an ad for commercial “reloads” by Montana’s BVAC of 9mm that were $2 round for lots of 250 rounds. Limit one lot per customer.

  6. for quiet and deadly up to 70 yrds try a reverse draw crossbow rated at 185lbs or above. Use 2 blade mechanical broadheads on carbon bolts — they are reuseable(if you can find them)

    target practice is quiet, and doesn’t usually draw out frightened neighbors

  7. I know I overpaid, but it’s Winchester brand and new brass. I’ve always been an ammo snob: no reloads or Russian steel cases for me.

    But lately, I dunno – I see Biden’s preparing Executive Orders to end crime in America by banning guns and ammo. Maybe colluding with Russians to get a pile of cheap 5.56 wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. If I buried a Mason jar in the back yard full of $1 bills or Russian bullets, which would be more useful after Slow Joe and the Ho take office?

    Might have to rethink that strategy.
