Glock 22 and 27- .40 cal S&W

Usually around 1-2 bricks at a time I'll buy if there's a good deal. But I just bought some Federal Hydra-shok .40 S&W 165 grain for self-defense ammunition and it was $29.99 for 20 rounds  :eek:

Go through a lot of 12 target. I shoot a .308 and my dad mainly shoots .270. We have a variety of other calibers though.

.40 (usually only enough to keep two mags filled for my glock, with a box of 50 spare)
.303 english (box of twenty and full mag for my 1944 enfield)

Thats my personal use anyway :)
Title: Re: Poll..what do you shoot?
Post by: Slash27 on October 12, 2012, 01:46:27 AM
.45 ACP
9mm Luger
5.56

7.62x39mm now and again and I've pretty much stopped shooting the .308. Too damn expensive to buy ammo for all of them.

Title: Re: Poll..what do you shoot?
Post by: Latrobe on October 12, 2012, 01:55:22 AM
What do I shoot? Mostly paper targets, milk jugs, beer cans (empty of course  ;) ), or any other useless things laying around.  :D


.22LR is what I've shot the most
.22 MAG I've recently shot when my uncle brought his over. I'm looking to buy one now  :)
9mm I've shot a little now
7.7mm, 7.62mm, 7.92mm all from various WWII weapons


REALLY want to get a 1911 and shoot some .45 ACP!

5.56 through an AR-15
9x18 through a Makarov
7.62x39 through some form of SKS
7.62x25 through a Romian TT-33
7.62x54R through a 91/30, M44, 91/59 or M39
.32 Long or 7.62x38 through a Nagant Revolver
30.06 through a Garand

in that order. I usually try to avoid more than $200 on ammo in any single purchase.

I'm sure it's a lot easier for them to do that using the firearms' registration than by trying chance encounters on random internet bulletin boards.
In fact, I'm pretty certain

 :noid i am an evil aces high ammo counting black ops scary guy....wooo wooooo

I am interested in knowing because I want to start a ammo manufacturing company.  Nothing major. Just want to get an idea of what is lacking in the market and what is popular.  As far as tracking I think the government would be better off spending their time tracking gun and shooting sites than here.  Also the reason I want to start my own ammo manufacturing business is because even with the local guys in Montana churning out ammo my calibers are always on back order or at least 6 months out for even a 500 round box (one month or 4 visits to the range supply). Hand loading 9mm and 45 sucks unless you can get 600-800 rounds and hour.  So I figure If I make the investment for that type of equipment I might as well crank it out for others too.

Numbers-wise, it'd be the 12ga.  Quick and easy to go through a bunch of ammo.  I really only drag them out for a few boxes of practice once/twice per year though, followed by hunting.

Time-wise, and day-in day-out, it'd be the .54 (rifle mostly, but also pistol).  Those are the guns I shoot the most, and enjoy the most, but they're not rapid-fire...  I shoot @ 300 rds/yr of this caliber, and shoot them every few weeks.

Next it would be the
.270Win
.22-250
.75 (sometimes shot, sometimes ball)
22LR

I don't find the modern calibers all that challenging/exciting, so I mostly just sight in with them and occasionally hunt with them

I mainly hunt with my muzzleloaders (even during regular firearms seasons) and traditional archery equipment though.

Actually, I hunt with my birds more days/year than I do with all my firearms combined per decade.

They have the registration records.  Internet BBS's are their source for things not registered.
