Im a college student also and I started reloading awhile back to help me fund my habit. I can shoot a ton more than I could buying factory ammo. I go through 1000+ rounds per month, and there is no way I could afford that paying $20/100 on factory ammo.

Easy. Stop drinking alcohol and/or quit smoking.

If you calculate how much extra crap costs you'll be able to buy a ton of gun stuff. When I quit smoking I bought a AR-10, extra mags and a free float forearm. Add up how much you spend on things you really don't need on a monthly basis and you might be surprised how big the total may be.

I use bonus money or tax refund money or put guns on layaway for a few months and pay them off on cashflow. Off course, I have been known to charge a gun or two as well.

I used my tax refund to buy a couple guns this spring, I am also counting on that stimulus check.

I make a stash after my paycheck.

its like when you need to support your drug habit what do you do? sell illgeal drugs

now what do you do when you need to support your gun habit? sell illegal guns of corse!
in idaho i can sell i gun to anyone over the age of 21 that i dont know for a FACT cant legally own one. so you wouldb't be breaking the law if you were selling guns in a dark parking lot to random people.(i think it is the dumbest law, why shouldnt every one have to get background checks)

IM JUST KIDDING
-i put all my change and $1 and $5 bills in a jar and thats what i buy guns with. i dont even know its gone but it adds up fast. i put at least $5 in a day, some times i put in more but allways put in at least $5

...and all you did was transfer to another hobby that *could* ultimately kill you as well! But let's hope not...
