I was digging thru my assorted ammo can today. Found a box of 10mm and I've never owned a 10mm. Several old boxes of 32 S&W long. plus some old 22LR, and 25 auto.

I had 2 full boxes of 25 rimfire that I never found after the move to Florida back in 2001. I did find 5 rounds in a freezer bag full of 22 mag thou. At least I can say I have some ammo for my old Stevens 25 rimfire.

I inventoried my ammo and reloading supplies last spring as I had some time to kill. After seeing what I had I concluded I have enough to keep shooting at my regular rate for a number of years. I even have ammo for guns I’ve never owned. There are several boxes of .25ACP, a bunch of .30 Luger, 20 Gauge shells, even a box of Nambu pistol ammo. If I can find an inexpensive .25 I’ll probably buy it just to put all that .25 ammo to use.

I. Have 1 round for every one that shows up.
Bought 3-50 round boxes of .22 LR this morning
At Walmart, first ammo I have seen there in 4 months.

I did an inventory about a year ago. It told me to quit fretting and enjoy myself.

No need for me to do an inventory. I know what I have.

I also suffered the collapsed ammo shelves. I rebuilt using 2X4's and 1/2" plywood. It won't even sag now. The heavy stuff is on the floor in metal ammo cans. I probably have enough to last me for target shooting until the dirt nap comes.

I did an inventory, right before that tragic boat accident I’ve had few years worth

I did a shed clean-up and kind of organized my ammo over the last month or so. I wanted to seperate it so that if there was a problem theft,fire, tornado etc. I wouldnt loose it all. Also wanted to keep some in the house in a second safe that only has a few rifles in it. I collected up the oddball boxes from rifles and handguns that I no longer own, and will never own again 38 super -10 boxes, 7weatherby mag 7 boxes, 7 rem mag 4 boxes stuff like that not much pistol ammo. I priced it cheaper than what I had seen on some websites, but not so cheap that people would buy it to run out and resell it. I took it to a swapmeet at our local gun club and thought what the heck ,I will see if it sells. I sold every box with the exception of 1 box of 7.65 argentine something ,that I gave to the last guy who bought all the 7 rem mag. I left with over 8 bills and some guys were actually thanking me for selling them ammo at a decent price. I havent bought ammo in years , except some 17WSM a few years ago and then once I found a good round, for my rifle I bought 3 thousand and put it away. I shoot about 200-250 a year with that rifle,so its ok.
I would like to start reloading some pistol ammo , 45 cal stuff just to work on some better accuracy loads but unfortunately this is probably not a good time . Still I will keep my eyes open for components and see what I can put together, but Im in no real hurry and dont plan on breaking the bank . I will shoot what I have until then.

Have you got any of that under water aluminum 9mm you and Leland bought after Katrina?

I inventoried my reloading components (exclusive of brass) recently and was surprised to find that I had more of some than I had remembered and less of others, but enough to last another couple of years. When the supply chain approaches normalcy, I will make some purchases, unless I keep finding stuff squirreled away where I had forgotten it. If I do tally the brass I suspect some will be for sale here as I have more than I need.

Inventorying loaded ammo is not something I want to contemplate.

Being a University trained Engineer, and being responsible for a manufacturing facility that would put hundreds out of work if there was a shortage of something, I learned that developing the software was really quite an easy task.

So, I said, why not develop my own computer program(s) for my own use. MS made it easy in that all the canned programs talk to each other. Did I need it? No. Was it a heck a lot of fun to put it all together.....heck yeah.

My one database shows available ammo. That only needed to be done once. My second database logs in every time I shoot. The rounds shot automatically updates the inventory. Another calculation generates a 5 year running average of items used. The final page tallies every item (e.g., 22 LR, .45 ACP, small pistol primers, Bullseye powder, etc, etc.) and how many months my inventory of each item will last.

A perfect example of how useful it is came about in early 2020. Some items were down to only a year's supply and I was contemplating a purchase. The guy on the 6:00 news uttered the word "pandemic". Later that evening I checked my preferred online dealer and found that the shelves were well stocked, so I put in an order. Two days later most was out of stock.

As I said....lotsa fun.

Have no idea of the centerfire ammo as I tend to only reload what I shoot in a given match as I shoot it up. Probably a couple hundred rds of each. My logic there is to use my primers for the caliber I’m using instead on just loading everything. But I did get a rd count of .22s awhile back and only have about 15,000 rds. Some of those date from y2k.

I found a box of Long Colt 45. Never owned one.
Will trade for High Velocity .22 LR. Box for box

I recently started keeping an inventory of my ammo just to be sure I'm only buying what I'm really low on instead of buying more of what I already have. It was never a concern before, but if I'm going to pay $1 a round I want to be sure I really need it.

NO...........When it gets low I just fire up the progressive loaders and make more.

I keep a spreadsheet and know my stock levels, not so much just for inventory but I like to keep track of how much I shoot thru each gun. Noting I don’t have a massive collection which makes it a bit easier.
Considering I deal with spreadsheets all day at work, no clue why I started one for my little collection. But except for an old Colt Challenger handed down to me from my in-laws back in ‘12 (my first gun, I was 50), I can say exactly how many rounds each one that I own has ran. And in turn what my ammo inventory is.
My family just shakes their head and laughs at my little obsession lol.

I tried to inventory my components for reloading, it was a pain so I have been pulling the handle like a mad man. It is easier to count rounds than primers, cases, bullets and powder. I am good for a while...I too am starting to worry about the weight breaking the bottom of the hiding place...

I wish we were neighbors. I would give 2 boxes of HV .22LR. Larry

I am small taters compared to what I see here, but I had not worried much about counting till recently, as in the past, it was not an issue. However I got a pretty good stash of rimfire. I see that maybe will be the pocket change in the future. How many for a loaf of bread? Can of beans? With supply not meeting demands, I think that ammo traders will have the upper hand for dealing. Lead into gold, like magic.

I've systematically kept inventory of factory ammo, handloads, 22LR, brass, primers and powder for some time. After finishing the initial inventory, it's no problem to maintain the spreadsheet as I use items. I'm not about to do an annual inventory like many businesses do. Any errors I have will be corrected when I run out of something the spreadsheet said I had.

The biggest benefit is not having to rut through various stashes to find something I "knew" I had. I've numbered my tubs and ammo cans so I can go directly to the right container for something listed on the spreadsheet. Another benefit is seeing at a glance what I have before buying more. It keeps me from over-buying or (shudder) running out.

Seem excessive? Perhaps, but it works for me.

Small taters here. I have one bullet. When I shoot it I have to go out and find it. After I find it I clean it up then I remelt it, remold it, resize it then reload it. Then I am ready to shoot again. That follow up shot is kinda slow but I am working on it. I hope the government never comes and takes my one bullet from me.

"...Has anyone else done an ammo inventory?..."

Yes, I have. I know exactly what I have. 'Nuf said.

Ammo and reloading components:
More than some, less than others.

By golly, that sounds like me, but with regards to poaching deer with my Harley. I'm up to THREE so far but dang!... Do you know just how much it costs to reload a Harley after each deer!?

Here are Harley reloads #3 and #1...

Like many I never really tried to count the ammo. I just bought what I needed then added to the pile when I saw a good buy. Today we own 31 firearms in 8 calibers. This includes pistols rifles shotguns. I started a spreadsheet last year as a way to keep up with what I shoot and when to replenish. It's more of a concern with ammo prices being what they are right now. I update the sheet each time I go to the range or the family goes out to the farm to shoot. We have just over 10,000 rounds today. Seems like alot but I wish I had more. But I'll wait till better pricing returns to buy in bulk.... I hope.

FWIW: My ammo cans will hold 30, 30 round Magpul magazines loaded with M855. Each weighs in at about 35 lbs. When the top shelf of Mommas closet collapses when you are bent over digging for a pair of boots the can carries enough downrange energy to knock a full grown man smooth out.

Be careful out there!

Just to see where I am weak.
As for storage the best way to go is with Stronghold cabinets.
You can not put enough weight in them to collapse them. At least not the twelve gauge series. Will keep (most) kids out as well.
