Anyone else have this problem?
I love to shoot. But I can't afford the ammo. Not just because the price of ammo but because I keep buying more guns. I've got a 870HD that I've had for a month that I haven't even shot yet. I go back and forth deciding if I should readjust my priorities and start using these things or just keep on my happy collecting.
I guess it doesn't help that I live in Orange County, CA. There's not a lot of places to shoot anything larger than pistol ammo within a 45 minutes drive |

I actually have two 22lr firearms. To me they just feel like my 1200fps Gamo pellet rifle. They're fun ya, but only for a while.
On a side note, I wonder how much that $30 will take me if that lead ammunition ban goes through in my state |

Go give plasma. Usually get $30 or so a visit. That is $60 a month and you can go buy a few hundred rounds. For S&W .40 at Wal-Mart you get 100 for $24 so I don't know for your gun though.

Keep collecting the firearms while you have the big ticket money available - you can always collect ammunition a little at a time and shoot when available.
