National Ammo Day (week)

National Ammo Day
It's not exactly a call to arms, but it certainly is the next best thing. Everyone is being asked to purchase 100 rounds of ammunition this week (or if you're a reloader the equivalent). Helpfully, you don't have to get all your ammo at once: any purchase made this week "counts."

More importantly, if you cannot purchase ammo in your area, the site urges you to contact your local representative and complain.

GOB,

A timely post and before a year passes, I think we will need to "sign" for ammo purchases.

I hope I am wrong, but I think these were the "Good Old Days."

Bunker down.

Well I did my bit. Got an order to CTD yesterday and it is due in today (wow already)

I am afraid you are probably right.

I got mine!

I've done my part.

Placed and order day before yesterday and got it last night (it was delivered and setting on my front porch when I got home.) 150 rnds of brand new Lake City 06 .223 match.

Looks like I'm going to have a hell of a good time.

Well Not a real yard sale

But I bought a Dillon 650..1000 rds of Starline 45 colt brass..1000 rds of 30-06 brass...900 bullets...10M primers 40 lbs of powder and a whole bunch of stuff from a guy the other day..Hopefully that'll count. Oh and the price WAS right. He even gave me a new box of 41 Mag ammo. Now I still have to find that 41. I REALLY need a 41 Mag Smith

Yep. I have a buddy that has a gun collection that makes my few look sick. He has less than a full box of ammo for most of them, and a few he doesn't have ammo for at all. Nice collection of clubs he has there.
