It's a good start. (sorry, no one had said it yet...) Way up on me, I only have about 300 rounds on hand and loading capability for another 300 or so, but LOTS more reloading capability on the way! It took about 10 years to amass that much. All different kinds...no crap though. It was all under 2$ back in the day. I wish I would have known prices were gonna skyrocket. I would have put my retirement into 50 ammo. |

1700 M8AP
1200 M33 ball few hundred API and tracer Was buying this stuff years ago at fun shows and Knob Creek when the getting was good at about a buck a round. The missus eyes the stash every now and again and asks "Isn't that pile just a little larger than it used to be?" No dear, I've had that for years.

I would have put my retirement into 50 ammo. I hear ya. I lost my entire ammo and most of my gun collection in a house fire two years ago, including my AR50. Some $20k worth of various ammo and components at then prices. Of course, that was some 15-20 years of buying. Imagine my surprise when I got a new .50 and went to start buying ammo last year. Replacement value of that ammo stash at today's prices is something like $50K. Now my growing gun and ammo collection is stored in several locations... |

Shibumseeker: Lost my powder, primers, and reloading equipment in a house fire as well. April 2005. Guns were in a safe though and survived. -David Edgewood, NM Worse for me is that I'm so far out in the middle of nowhere that I couldn't get insurance, so I was stuck with rebuilding everything from scratch. I had about half my pistols in a fire safe, and I knew it was a total loss when there was a bullet hole from inside the safe. The fire was so hot (house had a metal roof which acted like an oven) that the AR50 barrel was *drooping*. I'm still mining lead out of the burn site. My new shooting shack (about a third done) is on my 100 yard range and I'm building it out of concrete and steel so it will not only be my shooting and reloading hut, but also my gun safe. I sympathize with ya, though I will say that I've used it as a good reason to rebuild my gun collection with fewer guns of higher quality that I shoot more often. Other than the AR50, the most expensive gun I had before wasn't worth more than $500. I figure another year or two and I'll have the collection rounded out and I'll be able to shoot more since less of my gun budget will be going to guns and more to ammo. Then you might start seeing me at .50 matches. |

Maybe we've broken the kid of his pyro ways but I still want to shoot tracers. Guess i'll just have to do it at an MG shoot in the swamp somewhere. -David Edgewood, NM |
