Remember when ammo was cheap?

[Leonard]

We used to buy bulk 9mm for nothing, now it costs a fortune and you feel guilty burning through it at the range. I miss the days of cheap ammo so much. When did you start shooting and what were prices like then?

 

[Firez]

When I started, going to the range was just for fun. We'd shoot until we got tired and didn't keep track of anything. I now track how many rounds I shoot like keeping track of gas mileage. It changed how I thought about everything.

 

[CoachChris]

I dryfire 100 rounds for every live round I shoot.
Handloading doesn't save any money anymore.

You got that right! I stopped using Alliant powders due to their price gouging and spotty availability. I use a lot of Ramshot powders and Speer bullets. These are more economical and have performed well for me.
