I don't understand why people stock up on ammo or Hord ammo. A lot could happimg to that person they could die get sick. Nobody knows what the years bring.

Some may say that Nobody knows what the years may bring, better to have ammo and not need it than to need ammo and not have it. Just a different way if looking at it. I can say that all of the ammo I have inherited over the years has been shot.

Ammo is like gold, however you acquire it, if you want rid of it, you are not going to have a lot of trouble doing that one way or another.

Well, it certainly isn't going to get any cheaper in the future!

No its not its all because of all the preppers and horders that are driving the price up.

How much ammo does one have to buy to become a hoarder??? I ask cause I stock lots of ammo.

No, I didn't make that up. A piezoelectric pressure transducer is usually glued on to the barrel of a test firearm. This is the modern method that pressure is measured in test barrels of firearms. The old method decades ago was to measure pressure with a copper or lead crush pellet in a fixture on the barrel. The pressure crushed the pellet of copper (rifles and pistols) or lead (for shotguns) then the pellet was removed and measured with a micrometer. Then calculations were performed from the measurements to determine the pressure in the barrel. The Piezo method actually measures the stretch in the steel under the area of the transducer, and sends and electrical pulse to a computer to perform A/D (analog to digital) conversion, and perform the calculation to determine peak pressures.
At least that is how I think it works. If you need more info, you can consult a ballistician. A technician that works in a ballistic laboratory.Of which I am not one.
Did you think to Mic your turkey choke and see if it was still in spec.? I bet it stretched a bit. I seriously would examine it for any possible cracks. It is probably fine though.
If you would like to know more about the piezoelectric effect in general I have some knowledge of that and some practical experience with that. If I have already bored the heck out of everyone, I will shut up now.
So that's where the CUP term for pressure comes from. Thanks for the info.

I don't know but it's strange I check out stores and I found 1 brick of .22 for 20 bucks and I have been checking for years and can't find none except 50 bucks at cabals.

I have not seen 22s for less than 10 cents a round.

Yup, and if you reload you have to pay attention as books these days have both CUP and PSI (determined by Piezo transducers) data in them. And if you mess with European stuff you have to pay attention to SAAMI (the US spec) vs CIP (European) chamber pressure specs of firearms. A lot of times CIP will be higher pressure than SAAMI.
