How much ammo...

[MikeyMike]

.. Is in your house?

I figured I would spark what could be an interesting topic, going deeper into your reasoning. Are you a weekend shoot R where you pick up some ammo fire it, and then are done, going home to a full magazine of hollow points for those "just in case situations".OR, are you the doomsday prepper with enough ammo to fight a mini war?

I am curious to understand what others have in their "inventory" and why?

ME: I personally I am rather new to guns, so I keep enough ammo in stock to cover always my next range trip, and to handle if anything comes me way.

After you live through a coupla "panic shortages", you'll learn to stack deep!

I collect used brass and can't stand the sight of empty ones, so they get reloaded. I have no idea of the number, but it's enough to get by.

 

[USAF385]

Let's see..... just did a count.

Turns out I lost all my ammo in the boating accident that claimed my guns.

 

[Culina]

plenty!

seriously though, I am pretty sure its bad etiquette to ask people on an open forum how many guns they have or how much ammo they have, even if you are a long time member.

 

[BigCityChief]

Lots - I like being able to take pistols of several calibers to the range each week.

I got back into reloading after the recent ammo shortage. Loading brass as fast as I buy it. Never want to be in that position again. I figure if I keep enough to hold me over for 2 years, I'll be OK.

3K-.45 ACP Got it
2K-.38 Got it
1K-.357 Got it
4K-9MM Almost there
2K-.22LR. Need to stock more CCI, and less 'other'.
.223/5.56 is the tough one. I shot 6K last year, and have trouble keeping more than 4K on hand now. Let alone enough for 2 years. I need to get busy.

About 16,000 rounds of various calibers and varieties at the moment.

I don't stockpile a lot of ammo, but I could reload for a small army.

 

[ChattanoogaPhil]

About 2in of floor joist sag.

 

[uDUBdrew]

Enough...

 

[crankyoldlady]

Stick around and you will learn there are two questions we just don't ask here...

1) How many firearms do you own?
2) You just asked question #2.

And most long time members won't be a tellin.

If your home's foundation isn't cracking from the weight, keep stacking.

I always find it humorous when a news article says, "He had a large stockpile of ammo" when referring to <1,000 rounds.

 

[Maddog 521]

"I only want one more case"
I seem to say that a lot.

 

[alwslate]

Almost enough.

 

[TenTea]

All your ammoes are belong to us!

 

[ATF]

10,000 rounds should be a minimum. It's not a lot if you shoot around 300 every weekend, but don't screw up or the cops and the anti-gun mob will think you are a psycho

 

[MichiganScott]

I have never heard anyone complain about having too much ammo.

 

[Garintheair]

I would probably feel comfortable keeping a single round for each known gun.

A 50 gal drum makes a nice round...

 

[ChattanoogaPhil]

I know it... I do too.

On the other hand, the average gun owner probably just has one box of ammo with a few missing from it from when they shot it new 10 or 20 years ago.

 

[jmart172]

If you shoot a box replace it with two

There's no such thing as too much love, too much money or too much ammo.

 

[Constrictor]

ive got 16 bullets.
while your at it would
you mind telling me
how much money you have?

 

[Ranger17]

i do keep track of rounds on the shelf and rounds shot each range visit; but in general i keep enough to be able to visit the range 1-2 times a month. I dont hoard but i do make sure i'm able to continue with my hobby for a bit should i not be able to find what i need at a given moment. And as I've only been in this hobby for a couple years and only have 2 calibers; it's been pretty easy to keep track and keep stocked.

 

[Mike SC Hunter]

I keep my 1 Barney bullet in my shirt pocket.
...Agree with Crankoldlady

 

[Arik]

I had to lease a second warehouse

 

[NEURON]

Don't count it, just shoot it. Never enough!

Dagnabit, I had my ammo in that boat, too!

Before that, however,

doomsday prepper with enough ammo to fight a mini war
