How much 22lr do you have now?

ammo

That doesn't matter in my book. Rather have it and don't need it than the other way around.

ok I was wrong for the first time this week
22LR on hand is 30K looked again tonight in my "lock box" and what I had bought recently

I have 1200 rounds of 22lr at a cost of about 14 cents a round because that's my limit on the amount I can store. But I'm in the uk where the firearms laws are ****. Got about 1500 12 gauge. Least I can have as many as them as I want

Be prpare-- i keep approx twenty five thousand .22 lr, twelve thousand .223, five thousand .308 and a thousand or two for each caliber in my "gathering" of firearms with the exception of some of the obscure calibers or pistol ammo (9mm, 45acp, .380 .32 etc. for which i keep multiple thousands). This is not a new idea as i have always kept many thousands of rounds on hand for things I shoot often like .30 carbine (6000) and replace spent ammo via purchase or reloading.

I found some 100 round 22lr mini mags and 50 round Remington in the red and white box totaling 2000 rounds bought in 1967. I have purchased more since. Funny thing is 22lr back then cost $1.98/ mini mags 100 pk and 98 cents for the Remingtom 50 pk. Seems like prices now in relation to 1967 are not as bad as we think. Looks like we went through a really good stretch with .22lr and prices now are closer to 1967 in todays dollars.

How many rounds did you actually fire during the riots?

Thankfully I fired none but I felt much better having the 22LR Rifle rather then having nothing and being empty handed.

I was 12 and living in Detroit during 67 riots. I remembering being scared when a few of my dad's cop buddies warned him that there was talk on the rioting leaving the poorer areas and moving toward our neighborhood near the Redford border. My dad then produced a 12 ga that I had no idea he had. I felt a little more secure. You are right about closing all the gun stores. After the riots were over, my uncle went on a gun buying spree and made sure neither he or my dad would be in that situation again. Nice thing, most were never or barely fired and mine now. I really lucked out.

Sorry. You are not cleared and you do not have a need to know.

More than I'll have tomorrow and less than I want.

I think the ups guy hates me more 22 boxes today
actually I know him and have to buy a couple beers for him on Friday nights or when I get to see him for putting all my UPS in my garage
the dam fedex guy leaves it on the deck to get stole or rained on

A little under 12,000 rounds, trying to get and keep a least 1,000 rounds of the other 18 calibers

Like the OP I had one .22 revolver and life was simple. Now 40 years later I have over 20 hand guns six of which are .22 and a .22 M-1 carbine. Now I worry about .22 stock piles. Got it up to about 3,000 rounds and feel comfortable with that. When I go to the range with my SW22 or M&P .22 compact I shoot 100 rounds. The revolvers not as many.

I do not understand the desire to stockpile 22 LR, and never have. I don't think I have shot any in the past five years. I just gave my nephew a few thousand rounds I acquired in a package-deal trade.

If you are planning (or hoping) for a riot, why stock up on the least effective ammo out there?

I don't get it.

You certainly don't.

 

[susieqz]

i shoot other calibers, but for sheer fun i prefer 22lr.
i shoot 200-300 rounds of that every week, so i need lots on hand.

 

[NJM15]

Too many NO

I haven't counted but guess I have probably over 10,000 rounds
whenever I go into buy something else the clerk says have some 22's I say throw them in. I have several guns that shoot them but I am a .40, 9m, .357 and .45 long shooter, with them I roll my own.

After the San Bernardino shootings and the media exclaiming how much ammo the terrorists had my wife wanted me to inventory all my ammo, put it WAY down on my honeydolist

[OLDSTER]

About 2000 rounds Federal Auto Match currently. Always keep 2000 to 3000 in house

 

[Smitty357]

Enough to shoot a bunch every single day. And still have enough to last through the next few elections. Plus .22lr has been abundantly on the shelves for the last 2 years. So if anyone around here runs out. Theres plenty to be bought at wal-mart.
