Ammunition is too expensive to just burn magazines empty. That is one of the other advantages to the 5 round limit at the range.
It is fun to teach a new shooter how to be safe and accurate!
My sister just bought a new one, but I won't let her carry it until she comes to the range with me. The funny part is that she bought it, and is waiting while her range ammunition comes in!

You folks still having ammunition issues? I'd thought that had sorted itself out.
There have been a record number of new firearms purchased in the last year, and they all need ammunition. Prices have tripled when you can find it!
She bought a 22 wmr pistol, from keltec. She wouldn't be safe with anything heavier, and in close it is impressive. The 30 round magazines will reduce the need for magazine changes, but this training will be difficult! I want her to shoot 200 rounds minimum, in two trips. First for safety and function, and the second for accuracy.
Most vendors limit purchase quantity to 2 boxes total per day. Last time I went out for ammo, I stopped at 6 stores, and picked up 10 boxes.
Primers are getting hard to find too, and powder has doubled. I cast a lot of the slower bullet points, and even put a few gas checks on the 6.5 mm; and slow her down where they can work.
Be safe!

Slits been a while now and seems like it'll not rectify itself anytime soon...I suppose one needs to limit ones shooting somewhat. I've heard that's happening a lot up there.
I don't limit my shooting, with heavy reloading as my back up plan.
Right now, I reload enough to stay practiced at it, with the plan of moving to reloading as my primary, when they stop ammunition sales totally.
In the mean time I will keep buying more as they are available and cost effective. While I stock in reloading supplies....

When I go, I go to unwind...I unwind by turning money into noise! Gotta happen for sure!!!!!
