You know you bought too much ammo when....

I sure hope I am not say that 25 years from now... "dang that was such a good deal! When I bought that 1300 case of corrosive ammo for $400 after shipping!" ... "son, I used to walk into a shop and buy as much ammo as I wanted!, rifle ammo was only $4/round!"
 
I can remember going in to CT and 30-30 for $14-15 a box -- and 308 for $ 16-17 a box and that was not that long ago

I can also remember going in to the ford dealer and seeing the price for a base model f150 2 wheel drive new for less than 12k plus tax -----> 4x4 for $13k

I pumped gas as a teenager, we had. Price war on, reg price was $.61 cents a GALLON, we were down to $.54 cents a gallon,,, and we pumped it! In those days, folks didn't have to turn off the car either, so you were sucking up leaded fumes all day, sometimes hung over!!

Yep, had a huge black Chrysler pull in once, five guys in black suites in it, greasy ignorant pricks, Mafia of some sort I think, one in the back seat thought it was necessary to show me his 1911, wish he was around now, I could show him a thing or two!

My wife stopped calling the basement spare bedroom, the "spare bedroom" and now calls it the "ammo room"....

We have lived together a few years and the spare bedroom is “Ryan’s gun room”. It’s been great but in May we are expecting a new little version of us. I’ll likely keep all the guns and ammunition here but the casting and reloading equipment is slowly getting moved to my lab at work and my boss seems to be ok with it. It’s a ballistics range, so it just makes the lab look more “sciency” to guests we tour through that don’t know much about it.

Since it is a bedroom, lead and casting stuff has always been kept in sealed totes, etc. I don’t want my kid to have as much lead exposure as I did. I bet a lot of just older than millennials on here put pellets in their mouth while chasing birds with pellet guns around barefoot without pockets as kids.
