Then there's competitive shooting , IBS, Benchrest, F-class etc those guys shoot like 1000 rounds a week or more just practicing! They actually NEED supplies worse. Its amazing what these companies churn out if you think about it..
Back between 94 and 2004 there was nothing really to speak of as far as the sport and reloading.. I'm not saying not a lot, but what we see today is that many, many more people are getting into this as hobby or sport or just as necessity.. I'm curious to know what % of our population reloaded before 1994 as compared to post 2004 and in between. I'll bet its doubled or tripled.. even in 80's it wasn't that widespread.. not many did it except probably the competition, but since technology has been increasing more and more.. I was always aware of it in the 80's and wanted to get into it, but never really took hold 'til about 6 years ago. It sure is addicting ..
Now you look at the media people, and all the stories they write about anti-guns, etc. You look at shootings and see all the hyped up stories.. "The man had 5,000 rounds of ammo in his trunk!',, 'what the heck is he going to do with 5,000 rounds of ammo?!'. These kind of comments get out there in a negative light.. then normal law-abiding citizens go out and buy a couple thousand rounds to last a while and somebody sees it and looks at you with that crook eye,, what the heck, that is the only problem I have with it is the uninformed people out there , they really know nothing about guns except gun equals bad. Then they go out and vote on anti-gun laws… I mean give me a break already.. well I'll stop my ranting , just got to venting.. havagood1.
