Hiwaytahell

Your neighbors need an old antique bathtub to flip over in the yard and scoot under when you place lights up. :hysterical:

I have about 750 rounds of .45acp and maybe 550 .44 mag. I need to get busy reloading. :whistle:

Let's just say that I have more then most people and enough componets to reload a hell of a lot more. My garage is built 150 feet away from the house where I do my reloading as a safety precaution. I know that right now I have on hand no less then 40 lbs. of powder in all types and 12 lbs. of Black Powder for my cannon.

Yep, she is a small cannon but she will shoot a 3/4" round ball 900 to 1,000 yard's. I try to shoot it every 4th. of July and every New year's eve. I aim it across my lake from the front of the house and it echeos like crazy. I love it. 350 grains of FFG or FFFG shake all the window's on the front of the house and shoot out a 5 foot long flame.

Scored 200 rds of 45 today could have bought all 500 from Walmart but left some for others.

I'm noticing more ammo at WM, more frequently.

Ah, you can still make a trip to the range and not have enough... :clap: I did that last weekend when i counted it up. And then went right back to wally world and scored some more... I know a lot of the folks on here are from NOVA/Va Beach, but I've actually been able to find handgun ammo pretty frequently in WM here in Roanoke - I always check later at night though (10 or so) so it's usually just off the truck when i happen to find it.

Well, I'll state this in (ammo) cans worth:
* 2 cans .40 cal ball (4 mags SD ammo)
* 1 can 9mm ball
* 2 cans .22 lr (bulk) and .5 can hunting/higher-end targer ammo
* 2 cans 20g with .5 can slugs
* .5 can .38/.357
* and about a dozen misc boxes of ammo for shooting with buddies

Note to self - need to pick up a few more ammo cans at the next gun show!
