Mrs Schlitz got very serious about shooting at the beginning of the year & since March we've gone out every weekend, now almost 40 weeks in a row, shooting 500-700 rounds of mixed 22,380,9mm, 45 ACP & Colt.
We're in great shape & can easily continue this into next summer when hopefully things loosen up. In the mean time I reload through the week for our weekend training/practice & while I'm going through the components I've got a ways to go before running out. We've been scrounging a lot of range brass too, surprised everything isn't getting picked up but I just finished reloading 400 223 rounds this week that all the casings were scrounged + a couple hundred 9mm found brass that I loaded up & added into the mix. Been finding 22's at Walmart pretty regularly & adding to the stockpile. Scheels had CCI small pistol primers last month-200 per customer so we got 800 over two days while they were available-might be the last of 'em for a while but it helped stretch my supplies out a bit more.
We have shifted to more 22's, adding in some black powder pistol/shotgun/rifle as well as the single action revolvers to slow the pace down a bit & had the 22 air rifle out knocking down little steel silhouettes that was fun too.
I'm optimistic that this too will pass & as long as they don't ban hairspray & potatoes I'll always have at least one gun I can return fire with
