Thank God there is no shortage of Air and Lead. I have been shooting Big Bore PCP's for 15 years. The investment in guns and support equipment is steep but in times like these, it's paying me back 4 fold. I can go out and shot 100 rounds through my .308 Texan LSS and it cost me maybe $6 in lead. And top that with sub-moa groups at 100 yards.
They make ammo specifically for hunting for a reason!

Has anyone use the AME Point bore laser? Looking for a good alternative to shooting a bunch of rounds without breaking the bank.

I shoot everyday. I shoot, go get my projectiles and shoot again... Wait, those are arrows.....
I do shoot the bb gun at the trap target. Reclaims about 60%. Can't get bbs locally either.
No matter how high a duck flies a hammer still breaks a window.

for hunting and hunting alone, i've got enough ammo between a variety of calibers to last a handful of years. its bothersome to just see the stuff disappear, i wish i had a little more especially for my kids rifle. but it'll be enough. I'm not a range person either, used to go as a kid a lot but in recent years there's just too much going on there. I'm fortunate enough to have a little country acreage relatively close to town where i've put pushed together a backstop and can do a little practicing there. I also like to keep the hunting place quiet and not do a lot of shooting that isn't hunting oriented.

Walked into Academy and all of the shelves were empty except they had about 100 boxes 7mm-08. Must have just put them out. My dad bought 2 boxes and I bought 2 boxes so that he could take home 4 boxes.
I got home yesterday and dug around in my ammo to see what I had. To my excitement I had about 500 rounds of 9mm that I forgot about. I guess when I ran low I decided to buy 2 bricks of it. It was like past self gave future self a present.
