I am starting to stay sharp with pellets, burning up pellets and CO2. 1250 pellets, $14!!
There is no real answer to that question IMHO .
Everyone has a different need , but if you ask me a minimum i would say 1K rounds
Or 500 rounds each caliber Edit . **

The sheer volume of first time gun buyers is mind numbing.
If SHTF truly did happen, and we were hunting small/medium game for food,, that would last 1-2 weeks. There is just WAY to many people per square mile in this country to ever "Live off the land"
Snare Traps
It is illegal to use, sell, possess, set, place or maintain a snare trap in Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Cecil, Harford, Montgomery and Prince George’s counties.
Now if we could get even half of them to start contacting their legislators against some of the idiocy introduced in MGA this year....
I won't buy from gougers and mark them off my normal supply avenues. I found SPP for $80 for 500 and wouldn't buy them. Midway and Natchez sell them for $50 a 1K and this place was $160 for the same amount. I'll pass and wait for them to be in stock or everyone to settle TF down.
Plus casting bullets and reloading makes me able to make more.

I won't support Gouging and I have a long memory for those that do especially when it's a LGS
in that case even the local ranges need to be scrutinized. I live close to gilbert's and that's why I go there rather than go to a farther range where I can shoot my own ammo. I have a full year membership (around $160 I think?) and you are supposed to get a discount on ammo (20-25%???). last couple of times I felt gouged. 223 costs around $30 for 50. Considering they buy in bulk I am pretty sure they are making hand over fist. One visit cost me $200 for: 150 of 9 mm, 50 of 7.62 Tok, 100 .223. Last time I went I had to purchase a 1-week trial for my mom and then they charged me full price for one box of 9 mm ammo because she was with me, even though there was no restriction on how many boxes you could get by yourself. But then when it came to 45 acp, you are limited to 1 box per person but they refused to give me more than 1 box cuz my mom is not a member. tick tack BS if you ask me.
anyway, if we all make a concerted effort to buy less or not at all unless you have no ammo then prices will drop...slowly. It is always easier for prices or taxes to be increased than ever being decreased. Once you set a standard or expectation why would anyone go back to making / charging less money unless business is hurting.
