A friend (not exactly a gun person) came by the other day and I took him to my 'bunker' down in the basement. Man you sure got a lot of ammo cans here, they all filled with bullets, he asked. I just smiled and said, most of them are. He wanted to know why I was smiling so I said ever see lead turn into gold? How's that? He asked. I explained:
I've been stockpiling ammo for a number of years a few boxes here a few cases there mostly from mail order companies when it was legal (to bad you can't do that any more). So as an example I said last year I bought a case of .45's for $9.99 a box of 50. Today that same box is $20.95. I used Midway as an example (your mileage may vary).

He said, "there's GOLD in them there boxes!" I just smiled again.
