Well i shouldnt complain. I have a shit ton of ammo for most of my guns. Really im good to go for many years. But i have a couple guns that im not well supplied for and it irritates me. Luckily theyre not guns i really need, just new toys that id like to spend more target time with and take out hunting a little. I have enough of the .450bm that im taking it bear hunting this season just for shits and giggles. Want to kill a bear with an ar15, just for something different. Still it would be nice to have a few more boxes of the 300gr to smack steel and paper with before the season starts.
We have a decent shooting range on our property and can't really use it as much as we would like due to difficulty restocking. I have actually considered getting a really nice sling shot and ball bearings, but practice with the clay balls, just to keep practicing.
I can shoot at my place, or on the state land across the road. But i prefer to go to my parents house so i dont disturb my little wildlife sanctuary here at home. My dad has paper targets at 25, 75, 100, 200, 300 yards, steel at 50, 75, 250, 300 yards, from an indoor shooting bench. Bench is inside a metal shop with a wood stove, pretty slick. But today after a break i went out to the shop to shoot more and first shot was freehand at steel so the muzzle wasnt outside the window. Forgot to put my earplugs back in. Shot a .450 bushmaster with a muzzle brake with no hearing protection inside a metal building. Kinda ruined my day. Felt like somebody jammed an icepick in my ear. Still ringing. Did the exact same thing with a braked .300wm about 10 years ago. Im a real dumbass sometimes.
Hopefully there's no damage from you getting the "WW2 experience".
Reminds me that the US military is supposedly now investigating silencers, since they've finally realized after almost 90 years that they are exempt from the NFA.
YouTube maintains that you can fire 6.5 off without hearing protection if you have even a cheapo chinesium Form 1 silencer. If only those faggot republicans had passed their soft-repeal of the NFA.
I think they're just making less, due to a years long backlog of the common calibers.
One thing to try is go on Midway and Natchez, find your ammo and do the "notify when in stock" thing. Just be ready to rip that credit card when you get the email. But don't be surprised if the price jumped from the last in stock.
Oh im on the notification list several places.
Ar 15 and a bear? You are just gonna piss it off.
You need at least an ak with a 762.
.450 bushmaster ar15. Not a 5.56. Ive killed a lot of bears and im very familiar with what theyre made of.
Damn. I did not know about that.
handguns stop bear, I am doing my best to not be demeaning
AR15 stops polar bear
I understand the love for the 7.62x39 its an incredible round and I own and use it often. A rifle will put many animals down, an AR15 in 5.52/.223 will put down animals readily due to the ballistic advantage of velocity F=mv2. Your assertion is understandable and widely believed, however, it is incorrect.
