If you can't let any go then you're an amateur and clearly don't have nearly enough. If you don't reload, then you fucked up, you fucked up bad and there's no hope for you. For me, it's time to sell. There's 5 million new gun owners out there and they have no idea they're getting water boarded. So far I can say sell lots of at least 300 rounds of common stuff like 45, 9mm, 380, 223. Lots of 500 is good, lots of 1,000 almost too much. For 22LR the bigger the lot the better. At least 500, a thousand or a few thousand is better. Smaller lots of weird stuff like 5.7x28 seem to be ok, at least 150 rounds per auction. You can sell brass too, sell brass like 22LR. It can go USPS so that helps. Self defense pistol ammo is hot. Lame bulk HP ammo goes for a dollar per round easy. Premium self defense ammo is on fire, they'll go straight to a dollar per round and up from there depending on what it is. Ship UPS from a hub for live ammo. "The UPS store" is stupid they don't want hazmat. I can ship a few hundred rounds of 9mm to most of the country for under $15. Don't sell reloaded ammo unless you at least have a class 6 FFL. I don't have much factory self defense ammo, I usually would buy FMJ range ammo then reload it as dirt cheap cast lead or fancy self defense ammo. Just remember, you have a month. My wife is tickled pink I am selling ammo, I don't know any other way to do that and get paid for it. Usually achieving that costs money. Lessons learned, buy more self defense ammo. I'll try to catch it on sale at cheaper than dirt, midway or at a physical location national chain store. Buying it at MSRP, sitting on it till an election year juat doesn't interest me as much.
I Don't Need, but always looking, ya never know! I got enough to keep me in reloads till rapture, but damn, that's a lot of work while i'm fat and lazy! LOL If you were to offer up some nice quality .308 in a 165 gr hunting type load, I know some monkeys who might be in need and too proud to ask, so I will ask for them! They should also know, if the need gets dire enough, all they have to do is show up at my door and I will hand them what they need!
Or, if you are selling ammo, you are screwing up and there is no hope for you. I guess money is more important to some. If you're still buying, ouch, but at least you recognize the potential need, painful as it is. I could sell, but I won't. JMHO
Ammo is better than money. My box of .45acp that I paid $25.00 for is now worth at least $50.00. The only way I would sell would be if I could buyback at the old price. A gun is worthless without ammo. I wish I had more ammo now with the way our country is headed,I think we are going to need more ammo soon. MAGA.
If you can find it. I looked locally just for Shits & Giggles (don't need any unless Ura-Ki is handing some out) and found only a couple boxes of super-premium $2+ on up per round hunting stuff. This is in a big box store (Sportsman's Warehouse). Shelves are bare. Yeah, not my first rodeo with this situation either. It's one of the few life lessons that I learned the first time. Didn't check any other local stores. I can make my own if need be with a choice of traditional copper jacketed in a few different weights or Barnes all copper hollow point lead free. Not going hunting this year (unless SHTF) so really don't need much.
If I resold all factory 45acp ammo I would still be able to fill a few 50 caliber ammo cans with reloads. Then I still have a crap load of .451'' projectiles, pounds of unique (each pound loads around 1,000) and tons of large primers. I have so much 45acp it's a travesty on my part that I only have one 45acp gun.
.45 ACP makes for easy math with Unique. I load a bit lighter for Webley and Colt revolvers, and have found it'll still cycle all my 1911's just fine. +1 on reloading and bullet casting. That ship has sailed. That kind of self sufficiency makes times like this much easier.
Just a bunch of hot air bragging. Probably the least useful post I've seen since being a member here.
It's like selling all that silver. Not sorry. I'm really glad I did it. Spoken like someone who has found them selves lacking. I'll roll those dice.
I must've posted something even less useful than this. You must've missed it. I tend to agree with the karma bit on several fronts, but I'm a dedicated hoarder.
And what's stopping you from joining in? $peaking of bragging I sold over $600 today. Still had the price tag on it, paid a little over $200 for it.
It's a deliberate attempt at finding out how easy the ignore button can be. Or not (No particular point to this post, either.)
My wife thought I was a hoarder. What she doesn't know is I'm going to have 3 to 4 times as much ammo for 2024, do it all again have, 10 to 12x as much for 2028.
