only phones we have here are the cell phones. If I don't recognize the number I don't answer it, if they don't leave a message sucks to be them. If they leave a message and I like them, I'll call back!! :happy1: :rotflmao:

HD, joes sporting goods,was there yesterday,gotta ask for it,best to call before hand to check calibur,ask for Jay as he's the gun shop mgr.

PS. this morning walmart annouced all ammo and firearms are off the shelves until election is over...folks are digging in...

I would be concerned if I lived in the city or suburb heading up north to hunt next week,might have live fire opportunity at home.

It's about here.... a few more days until the Apox-clips. All hell is gonna bust loose in large urban areas by next weekend and they'll call out the National Guard and federal marshalls. It won't hold and all of us midwestern folks will have to bandoleer up and take over. Just remember, boys, short 3-round bursts! Take down as many as ya can.

I have been hearing that too. Hopefully up here in the land of rocks and cows we will be alright. I won't go looking for trouble. It is got a person thinking though. all the different license plates we have been seeing up here. Seen one from Utah and Ohio up here yesterday.  :crazy: What the heck are they doing up here. Another guy seen one from Georgia. It would be a dumb area to start causing trouble this close to deer season.  :fudd:

Title: Re: Finally ammo
Post by: glenn57 on November 11/02/20, 04:15:51 PM
so i ventured into fleet farm today, got what i needed and wandered around the store.

went specifically to the hunting dept and wowzer was the ammo shelves empty! :doah: :doah: walked by the guns and there where very few guns, the pistol cases there were almost barren maybe 6 pistols. also wasnt real impressed with the scopes they had but didnt look that hard either.

which leads to me this question, ive never been much for ballistics and the sort as i know what i want to shoot in my deer guns, but if there was any supply of anything it was in shotgun shells, mainly target loads.   

the question i have is really how much of a difference is there in a target load versus a field load????? i have 2 boxes of target loads i see no need to keep and wonder if its worth actually hunting with them to use them up??????????????????????????????
Title: Re: Finally ammo
Post by: Leech~~ on November 11/02/20, 05:09:20 PM
Someone told me that Fleet Farm and other stores are going to keep most of their fire arms in the backroom until after the election incase the Zombies attack and loot.  :confused:

ok yea makes sense i guess if your an idiot and riot and loot just because of someone didnt like the results of an election. i had heard wallyworld did the same thing but now changed there mind.

Target loads are to break a brittle clay pigeon.  Field loads are to kill animals.

Title: Re: Finally ammo

Definately not roosters.  They are tough birds.  I use #5 mags on them.  But grouse that are close would be ok maybe.  Just my opinion.

there where some slugs at the FF in waite park but not many. i dont use them but know hornady is a popular brand and i didnt see any of those.

I think Remington production was hurt severely by the bankruptcy.  Vista Outdoor, Inc. ended up with Remington's ammo business.  Hopefully they will be able to turn it around.

Little late goyz,we've been talking the ammo shortage here for a couple months,same thing happened in 2016 before the election,convient shortage of ammo because they can't take our gun's,suspect big gov doesn't want to many crazies loaded up when the election tally doesn't go the way they want,both the red and the blue will have issues

As much as I  hate politic's but ya can't get away from it these days,it amazes me comparing Trumps rallies to bidens,night n day with attendence,1000's attend Trump's and only a handful(being nice) for biden,yet the polls say biden leads,really don't understand why folks vote biden unless the hate is so strong for Trump they vote biden in spite.

I am starting out in slug zone for a few days and thought I had a bunch of 12 ga. sabots.  I found 8.  I used to carry pockets full of them when we used our 1100 Remington smooth bore bird guns.  That was shoot 3 times aimed at the middle of the body.  If it is still moving dump the last 2 on him too.  LOL  Then we went rifled barrels and scopes years ago.  Had to learn to aim at a spot on the deer.  SO I think 8 will be enough.

Yup, Harris got a free pass from the mainstream press when it came to her prosecution of black males. Nary a peep. Hunter Biden's dealings with the Russians & Chinese? *crickets* The press has become the real enemy here.

Need to make a FF trip today. Will have to see what they have for ammo. Not optimistic. The Owatonna store has been slipping for quite some time & not just on ammo.

Ah, knew there was something I forgot after a few cocktails. Damn, it sure is nice not having glenn here!  :rotflmao: Anaway, FF in Owatonna surprised me somewhat. Found among calibers I don't own or shoot .308, 25-06, .300, .270, .243 and plenty of shotgun shells that I do shoot. Of rifles/pistol I do have they had plenty of .17 caliber but no .22, 9 mm or .223. And while they had the lawnmower oil filter, they still didn't carry the spin on oil filter for my tractor. :sad:
