How much ammo...

[Garintheair]

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

A 50 gal drum makes a nice round...

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

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.

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.

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

I had to lease a second warehouse

 

[NEURON]

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

 

[ISCS Yoda]

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

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

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

Before that, however,

doomsday prepper with enough ammo to fight a mini war

might have applied....

I do find it humorous that many gun owners are paranoid about saying this or that on the internet. If the govt knows you own a gun, the number of or amount of ammo is irrelevant. When they come for the one, they'll come for them all.

If you want to give yourself a good laugh, especially if you're any kind of a gun collector, see if you can write the news story about your own home if something went amiss and the gendarmerie came armed with a warrant and commenced to taking things away.

How would the lame-streams describe that scenario?

They would describe me as a terrorist.

They would describe me as a terrorist.

Really? You mean you have more than 1 gun and 100 rounds?

I have some, both SD and "range" types. I figure to stack some this summer when the prices drop (for a short time like gas). .223/5.56 is already below $.30/rd and 9mm is $.23/rd both attractive. I could use some 158gr .357 and some more .308, as long as I get some before the next "shortage" I'll be OK. .22lr is another matter and discussion of it around here is like politics and religion.

[357-RevolverGuy]

Enough to probably worry the government ... but what do they know?

 

[loknload]

Have more than enough, was just out about this afternoon and picked up 3 - 50 round boxes.
I have at least two boxes for every weapon I own except for what is used on a regular basis! just like 357-RevolverGuy says!

 

[MattO]

I had plenty until I bought a new gun in a caliber I didn't own before. Now it starts all over again.

 

[hardluk1]

I shoot a little and collect a lot and reload. I am somewhere north of 10,000 with another 1000 9mm ready to load.

 

[NJM15]

Makem as i need them

I keep about five hundred cleaned prepped and primed cartridges of each caliber. Load them as I need them. Enough to feed all my guns except of course the .22's

 

[PatAz]

That i s subject I'm not willing to discuss.
