Just double down on ammo. It's not like it's going to get any cheaper.
Back in the '90s, I bought enough .22 plinking ammo to last the rest of my life, and I'm glad I did. I paid less than 1/3 of what they want for it today.

Just set mythtv to record this. The first episode is named "Bullets, lots of Bullets".
Tell me about it. I just bought some more .22 ammo. I have the same box of 525 bullets I bought 5 years ago, and it was $10.00 cheaper. I got 10,000 rounds plus or minus 1,000. Looking to stock up to 25,000. I have most of my weapons at .22 and it makes it easier to buy ammo since they all take the same.
Too bad about the others I lost in that tragic boat mishap.
