Friends that don't Listen Re Rimfire Ammo

[Liven The Dream]

I have a friend who doesn't listen and now he can't find any Lapua Center X 22LR. I keep telling him to buy a case of the stuff and he can afford it but he's too cheap to buy it that way and now he's out. So, if anybody knows of any vendors that have it in stock, please let me know because he's not getting any of mine!

Have a friend that would not buy much reloading stuff when it was available. I kept warning him. He has very very limited stuff now and has asked to buy some of mine.... not for sale.

I buy what I want, when I want (if I can afford it, which is way less than it used to be by far ) but I also use what I buy, eventually.

People need to prioritize! More top ramen less steak. No starbucks. Get rid of that pesky girlfriend who keeps ordering appetizers and can't finish her meal. Buy it when you see and stack it deep! Heck I bought 1k rds of 9mm I don't even own a 9 or have any interest in getting one. It was a good sale and in about a year I will either triple my money or have some on hand for my good friends who got caught with their pants down.

I wouldn't bother with it any further. You did your part and he's on his own.

Yup yup and yup

I got hit up today by a friend I told two months ago that good ammo was available and to get some if he wanted any, even suppled lot numbers.
I got two cases while it was available.
He evidently didn’t listen and hits me up for a brick.
I dont mind helping a guy out, but some guys like to save their money till they absolutely out of ammo or components.
They alway say they can’t afford it, then the next time you see them they are showing you some POS new rifle or pistol that they suddenly had money for.

What they don’t understand is those of us who do buy ahead sure as crap don’t enjoy having to dump that cash all at once any more than they do.

How true this is Sir.......Took my woman out tonight for dinner, she ordered two appetizers and we took 3/4's of her steak home in a box!!! LOL!!!

I use to buy enough to last me until I died then every time I got low I was afraid I was about to die. Now I just buy enough to hold me until things get better now if I get low I think things are about to get better

Elevated gun works has some in the 29 speed. Price is okay, but I thought their shipping charge was very high, so I did not order.

And you can’t see anything related to shipping cost until the end of the ordering process. How dumb do they think we are?

It wastes your time

And it annoys the pig.

Or, they have a wife who controls the check book...yeck!

The answer to that problem is "I can buy ammo or I can buy beer at the local pub and drive drunk". Ammo wins 100% of the time.

When I think about burning through a $15/box vs going to a ball game and drinking $18 beers, the math works great.

$18.00 for one beer? That just proves there are some really stupid morons in this country.

How are they to calculated S&H if they don't know what the order is? Well, unless its free S&H but someone has to pay the bills somehow so it typically gets built into the price.

Most websites let you put a zip code in and preview the shipping cost and sales tax. I'm not entering all of my personal information before I even know what the total cost is going to be.

Bill,
I agree with you that an $18 beer at the ballpark is a joke. But, imo, you can't compare that to an $18 box of ammo that you rifle loves and the satisfaction that shooting a nice target or match that places you high on the leader board on at the top. I know a fellow who shot one of our 22 100 yd matches with GreenTag and a savage 22 RF and cleaned the field. You just never know what a rifle will like till you try it.

I had a gf like that, take it home and leave it in fridge till it was a science project. BUT...if you used it for lunch they went fatal attraction.
I had a co worker who had a mag rf, I found a sale and asked how much do you want? Two boxes...so a month later ..that ammo is pretty good can I get some more? ...no.
They call us crazy till they're out.
