AngeloConde Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Hello all I've been MIA from uspsa for a year now and was curious if I were to jump back in what ammo do you guys recommend if I dont reload to still be competitive. I live in a small apartment and don't really have room or the time to reload my own 9mm. Thank you all in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rnlinebacker Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Badminton, ping pong, flag football. Ammo and primers are a hard find right now lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George16 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Any hobby not requiring you to buy expensive factory ammo at the moment. See if you have a friend that reloads and buy ammo from him. Other than that, do stuff like mentioned above by @Rnlinebacker. I dusted off my RC truggies and buggies so I can start racing them again since the RC track is only 45 minutes away from my house and they have club races (electric and nitro) every weekend.

AHI Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Try this. What ammo can you get? Are you willing to pay that much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ts199982 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) I would stop by the retail sporting good stores, Acadamy, Dicks, Duhnams, whatever is near you. Buy a few boxes when you can, and stock up what you can. Guys that I know that do that, buy a few boxes when they can find it, ammo hard to find right now. And than just hope it is enough to get through next year. Edited December 28, 2020 by ts199982 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himurax13 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 The sales on video games has been relentless for the last 6 months. Let's just say that I have several lifetimes worth at the ready, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClayBuster Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Skeet, Trap and Sporting Clays, although shot shells are next on the hit list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerritm Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Look online at some of the smaller ammo manufacturers and get on their mailing list or FB page. They are all making ammo if you are willing to pay. Mostly 9mm. Need to buy as soon as it comes available as it sells out fast and they only make a limited supply. Yes, even shotgun shells are getting scarce. gerritm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckaroo45 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Oooops! Too late for the shotgun sports too. Biggest issue for us is still primers. My old guy sporting clays, trap, etc shotgun clubber buddies (me too) used to go thru 200-250 rounds a week on a light week. Not no more! Even the cheapest "target" loads have doubled in price to $90+ a case of 10 boxes. I shoot mostly 28 gauge to save on components but still need primers for every shot. BUMMER!

buckaroo45 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I don't deny It was fun. Gets to you when you drop 2-3 speed loaders a stage. Even ran a Limited Para 16-40 for a while and managed to drop 4 mags on 1 stage. Just got to be time to do something else so I retired and joined a shotgun club for old guys. I've found the people in shooting sports are some of the nicest you'll ever meet and the older we get the easier we are to get along with. Seems the ego and competitive nature of some people softens with age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Dry fire to stay reasonably sharp but also pursue other hobbies until you can buy ammo without concern. If you have a hard time buying 200 rounds of ammo a week then shooting a local match isn't worth the ammo expenditure in my opinion. Or even just 100 rounds in personal practice might be better for your long term development versus shooting a local match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
