I did the same as RR, but after Clinton's gun ban. When things went back to normal, I stocked up on supplies. Buyin' cheap and stackin' them deep! I reload all my ammo. I don't trust factory supplies. I did stock up on .22s and shotgun ammo. I knew that I couldn't reload shotgun cheaper than store bought. I would wait to season-end sales and empty Wally's shelves for the gauges that I had. I'm that I have enough for a life time supply for me, my kids,my grand kids, and their kids!

Sorry, Hatchdog. I have 7 grand kids and if they are as prolific as their parents, I may have to rethink my supplies. If I get an opening, I'll give you a shot!

How Bizarre... Most LGS don't have much of most things that I would like to have, but one shoppe had plenty of everything, plus guns, guns, guns on all the walls. So...what shortage? I picked up 100 rds of CCI .22 Mag for my Remmie 597 which now works great since I put in a Volquartsen Extractor and bought some original black plastic magazines. The metal ones never worked well.
With new request for "new common sense gun laws" the stocking of shelves for ammo may be short lived. So stock up while you can.

Cabelas in Calgary seemed to be well stocked with ammo on the shelves. Although I did not look very closely, perhaps the popular stuff was low or gone. Their reloading powders were not bad, black powder only 3F and 4F in stock. Not much for primers either. I bought the last box of .495 lead balls, .490 was out of stock. The gun counter was very busy though, one guy was in the market for a revolver and had some Rugers on the counter. Lots of customers discussing rifles.

Yesterday I traded 150 once shot .308 cases[R-P] for a brick of Win LPP's. I am set! Didn't need the .308 cases and the primers will keep me supplied for a long time.
Not trying to go political here, but, RR, how are things regarding handguns up there?

The feds are trying to pass a Bill to allow cities and town municipalities to ban handguns if they want to. Alberta govt says it’s unconstitutional and the province decides what the municipalities can or can’t do.

Make no mistake, they are coming for all of our guns, same as your new govt.

To state the obvious, why would a government want to take its law abiding citizens firearms?
