Ammo is a good thing, nuff said. Mac
So what are you trying to surmise from this poll? And how many people do you think actually told you the truth?
Just curiosity, Sarky. Just wondering how we've all chosen to prepare, especially considering the ammo shortages today. It struck me yesterday for the first time - my favorite gun shop was out of a number of calibers of ammo, some back-ordered for months. First time I ever saw that at that shop.
Question: Why would anyone not tell the truth when responding to a confidential poll?
Because it's no else's buisness. Just how confidential do you think these polls are? :cool2:Quote:

We can even discern a great amount about each other's personalities and location from our posts.
If anyone doesn't want to answer a question, it's quite simple. Don't answer.
If I wanted to keep everything in my life confidential, I would have remained a lurker and never have become a member to begin with. Maybe I'm just not that cautious - or that paranoid.
I wonder how much ammo could be coached out, if the price tripled, say the cheapest 9MM ammo was $100.00 per box. At some point the price needs to go up a lot on ammo.
The price of ammo today is about 4X's what it was in 1957, maybe 5X's; However the price of Gasoline in 1957 was 16.9 cents. and diesel was 1/2 of that, or around 8.9 cents per gallon. GOLD was $32.00 per oz. now it is $932.00 per oz.
Time to start reloading my own again? :innocent:Quote:

Just to be clear - the moderators cannot see how individuals vote on the private polls. All we can see are the results like everybody else.
Drat! One more cat out of the bag. If this keeps up my superiority will be inferior.
Thanks for clearing that up, Crash!Quote:

Now that I know my secret is safe, I’ll be able to sleep MUCH better tonight!
Pretty clever post don't ya think? Rick - when do you want to go raid their stuff?Quote:

So, my bet is that you voted somewhere over 100. :innocent:
I like it when they are at shows......good prices........and they have .44 cowboy loads in magnum brass!:drool:Quote:
