Got Ammo?

yes

and you're right about needing hunting ammo
1000 rds bird shot and 5000 rds .22lr should last me a while

Did the bunny thing at 37 yards in a full sprint (the bunny) with a bolt action 22 lr single shot. Not bad eh!

I just started reloading this week
using a Dillion 550B Press....38/.357

A must survival skill and tool to
know and have...

but then again some might think it
more spiritual to allow themselves
to die by not defending themselves
and feel they are going to higher
spiritual plane by doing so.

Used to do that with frogs...I became partial to frog legs, and no...They do not taste like chicken...



If you only get one gun, get a shotgun in at least 20 gauge...Birdshot (6's) and buck (at least #4 or larger) will do for almost all situations from skwill (squirrel) to deer in close...And the 4 Buck tosses a mean pattern at 20 yards against humans...

Don't discount a good pump-up BB gun with a scope...Lousey for protection (unless you hit em in the eye), but perfect for everything up to woodchuck (or even slightly larger) and they are quiet!

what do you estimate the cost to be for 1000 rnds .38 spl minus the brass?

I really need to start reloading

If you don't have any already, then pick up some Aguila Colibri 22 rounds. You talk about a quite round to snipe a few squirrles and bunnies with. Had to check my rifle after each round was fired. I ran them through a lever action 22, and the hammer falling was louder than the round being fired.

I have considering buying a gun for years but unfortunately have put it off.
Would it be better to buy black market as the gun can't be traced to an owner . Is this a silly question?

I agree but I have a problem....here in f..g europe we have not the right to buy them...but once war start as I wrote in my thread I feel myself authorized to resort to whatever mean possible to buy one, what I should buy? I have a old semi automatic shot gun that can fire a round of 6 but is mainly for hunting...

I have had a Lee Hand Press for decades...I can work up loads at the bench, or I can reload on the move...

Never forget bow and arrows, it's affective and you can use the arrow many times.....

Just a tought

4Q - I second the BB-gun, with a decent one you can shoot accurately and quietly. When killing small game, you really don't want to be scaring the crap out of the rest of the potential dinners.

damn, I can't believe I didn't think of that. I was the best in my archery class in college, even beat the professor.

4Q


SQUIRRELL??????

You Bastard!

Buy legally...You do not want to give anyone a reason to take your freedom away 'legally'...

Buy soon...

thanks 115648 for the tip on the Aguila Colibri rounds...I just might have to get a brick...

Tasty!

1000 rounds 38 cost about 60.00 to reload if use lead bullets 100.00 if use copper plated.

That's all you need...

Got Ammo?

That is another very effective and cheap way of killing a small pray for diner....i don't know the name of it in english but it is very effective....

Squirrel.

It's what's for supper...

thanks
damn, that's cheap!

agreed
nothing beats a shotgun for self defense

They are called a 'Blow Gun' in English...Another good thought...

"you really don't want to be scaring the crap out of the rest of the potential dinners."

They might not be the only one you don't want to scare.....

Nope..just an old box with like 20 shells that are probably to old to work anymore..that shot gun was bought from my uncle for home defence like in 1975 and dont fire anything since at least 15 years, it is not even legal anymore since it's a 6 round and they have introduced a new limitation of max 2 rounds but who care if war come..

So you suggest what kind of hammo i should buy the multiple pellets or the single big pellet one?

00 Buck if its available.

They might not be the only one you don't want to scare.....

Yes its a silly question. The black market is traced. Its called law enforcement.

just buy a gun from a friend or someone who is selling one. If your concerned about being paperless. Its perfectly legal, and no trail.

Birdshot in size 6 (I do not know what the Euro equivalent is) and Buckshot in at least size 4 up to 00 or even 000...

all true, but I wouldn't recommend buying from a friend, if the friend bought it through the paper work avenue. since if the gun is used and found, it will be traced to the friend. Not a very friendly thing to do.
