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.

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

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

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.

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.

About 2in of floor joist sag.

Enough...

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!

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

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