22 ammo

[AJ]

I think 9 million rounds of .22 borders on excess, but that's just me, YMMV.

Have a friend that has north of 250,000 rounds of .22 LR and he is still buying.

I have in the neighborhood of 20K. I will buy more if I find it at a decent price. I like shooting the rimfire and won't be caught short.

Have a 18-3 that is my most cherished, most handled and most shot handgun. Unless I am sick, out of town, etc., I go to the range several times a week. It is not hard to fire a brick of .22 LR, especially if I also take one of my semi-autos. With that in mind I try to keep enough ammo on hand for about a year worth of shooting. Figure in children and grandchildren and friends and that can get pricey. Shoot 9mm and .38 Special primarily when using my centerfire revolvers/pistols. But, overwhelmingly use .22 LR caliber handguns the most. Can't reload it. Remember a while back when I didn't have any and couldn't get any ammo. So ... I plan accordingly. Today ... that planning will pay off again. Sincerely. bruce.

I have always kept "some" on hand since Reagan was president.....I won't give numbers.

I always had 22 available for personal use since Kennedy was President.

I swore after the whole covid thing that left me flat footed …

Are you a “City Slicker”?

Because country folk are always prepared.

I was shooting 1000 rounds a week so I stocked up on a variety of ammo.

I only shoot about 1000 rounds a month these days if that. I have 2 cases of CCI SV, 3 cases of Blazer 5 cases of Mini Mags...All-in All I have about 50K rounds of .22 now and at the rate I'm shooting I don't think I'll have to buy any more.

At 72 I just don't go to the range as much. My shooting buddy has stopped shooting pistol so our marathon shooting sessions are gone.

I hear ya. I'm thinking of joining AAA -- Ammo Accumulators Anonymous.

I'm not going too until I think I have a problem. Larry

 

[slickracer]

let me be clear..I have 9000s rds of 22 lr and another 1500rds of 22 shorts and 1400rds of 22mag. I have soooo many 9mm and 38/357bullets its not funny. I keep buying 22 because I cant reload it.

That’s all?

There is no such thing as too much ammo, reloading components or firearms.
There is such a thing as not enough house.

Same with Piscatorial Paraphernalia.
We hunt with rods and reels.

When you get older there's this thing called arthritis. How many times can your trigger finger do its' thing before it gives out?

 

[Sgt. Buzzard]

I'm already older and have arthritis in both wrists. My trigger finger works fine it's the recoil that's bothersome. Hence a big supply of CCI SV.

I thought about buying more ammo so I went into the garage to check my stash. I think I've got enough for this year and maybe a little more. 50K rounds of assorted .22s.

I've given up shooting centerfire guns but I do have 1000 rounds for my 9mm home defense gun and 1000 rounds of .38 for my carry gun.

 

[Sgt. Buzzard]

You know I laugh when I read newspaper articles about the police raid that netted an "arsenal of guns and ammo. Six pistols and three assault rifles and 4,000 rounds of ammunition".

I know some of my lefty neighbors would be shocked if they were invited over to play some pool and see whats behind a certain basement door. " NEWS at ELEVEN "

A buddy down the street let one of the woke crowd in his gun room. Dude almost passed out, shuddering " You, you have a machine gun factory here" Word went out that night, Dude hasn't been invited anywhere since. And no, there were no machine guns, just scary looking black rifles.

I keep everything except 22LR in 30 or 50 cal ammo cans.

I'm to the point of running out of space for them. I'd hate to store them in my garage or shed.

Get rid of those extra dishes, pots, pans and furniture that you hardly ever use. Larry

You can do what I did and build another room on the house. The room is a second room of collectibles, guns, ammo, and reloading.
