the days of mag dumping for the hell of it may be gone for the time being (pretty hard without a semi anyway) but with a LITTLE prudence there is more than enough to go around.....heck you fellas took the piss out of toilet paper hoarders....... for good reason.

I find it interesting that people on this forum should be taking paper punchers to task for wasting ammunition as if range shooting is not a legitimate hobby As for mag dumping anybody who has fired a mad minute or speed comp or even cowboy shooting is gaining experience and having fun shooting at there own expense. Each to his own but I try to get to the range two or three times a week so try to have an adequate supply of ammo for my needs. There is so much 223 and 7.62x39 ammo laying around after the big confiscation that much of it will be around for years to come, as the amount of 303 and 3006 still turning up proves. If not for hoarders it would not be around today.
