    Anyone from the prairies goes through way more ammo than this in a summer. Must be from the GTA.

    I'm so glad I stocked up when I did at Black Friday/Boxing day, Almost 50% cheaper.

    I’m late to the .223/5.56 game. I arrived just pre-OIC. Still I’m putting away what I can in hopes that sanity will prevail and we can bring our guns out again one day.
    Looking for members in Grande Prairie Alberta interested in wilderness skills, survival skills, camping, prepping, shooting, etc.

    The salt is real. Congrats on having 500 rounds, and If he wants to buy 3000 rounds who are you to judge. Go spend some more money and go cry somewhere else.

    Nobody knows the future and ammo doesnt ever go bad.. Congrats for those who can have lots.

    Price is always going up since ever so its kind of an investment too.

    I am now shooting ammo that I bought 13 years ago at a fraction of the price for some of my ammo I bought then, instead of paying highway robbery prices for it in 2021. At that time, I was buying it as I suspected there may be an ammo shortage with Obama's election. Regardless of the rationale, I am am glad I stocked up when I did. The ammo is kept dry, cool, and will outlast the rest of my time on the earth. Ammo, like most guns, do not seem to depreciate in price, so there is something to be said that it can be accurately viewed as an investment.

    I have a bunch of collectible toy figurines that are sealed in original boxes. Someone had the foresight 40 years ago to either buy a bunch of these or just not open theirs and I was the happy recipient of their efforts. Unless the store stipulates a limit when buying something, I don't think there is anything ethically wrong with buying as much as you can afford. It's the whole law of supply and demand. There are some who will say well, but just what you need...well, I took that to heart a year ago, bought what I needed and then ran out of toilet paper and had to drive 1 hour to my parents place to get a few rolls. I had an opportunity to get the maximum 3 packs of toilet paper, but my stupid justification was, well, leave some for everyone. All the other smart people grabbed their limit of 3, and I was stuck rationing toilet paper before I ran out. For ammo, it's not so much whether someone needs it all. I may be a means of exchange later or you can sell in a number of years once inflation continues to cause the cost of everything to go skyrocket.

    Just my humble two cents, of course...
