What caliber do you have the most of?

[bobknn]

I got caught empty handed during the shortage and decided I would be prepared if it ever happened again. I bought 2 cases of mini mags as soon as they became available and every week since I've picked up 200 rounds (plus whatever I'll use that week) while shopping at Walmart. It adds up. I now have 42000 rounds of mini mags. My wife says I need professional help. She's probably right.

22lr= 42000
9mm= 8000
5.56 = 4000
.380 = 800

You have all just been classified as red flag candidates! You can never have enough or too much.

 

[YkcorCal]

.22LR, .45 ACP and .30.06

 

[TX-Dennis]

.22 LR by far - around 15K rounds

9mm and .223 about 4k each

.380 - about 1000

.40 - a few hundred

.45 - a few hundred

.38 sp - a few hundred

12 ga. - about a case

20 ga. - about two cases

I was buying .22 every time I saw it for a couple years when the supply was short because my son loved to shoot it. At one time I was over 20,000 rounds on hand. Now I think I have enough to last me awhile. I'll probably let it run down to around 5000-7500 before I start buying again. I do still pick up a brick or two if I see it locally at a very low price, but I'm not actively seeking it out.

Edit - I forgot the .22 mag - around 1500 rounds of that on hand.

Let's see, here are the one ones that I keep on hand in bulk, in descending order:

5.56x45
7.62x39
.22 LR
9mm para
.38 Special
7.62x51
.30 Carbine
.30-06
.45 ACP
.45 Colt
.357 Magnum
9mmx18

These are the only ones in quantity. Other calibers, like .303, .45-70, .300 Savage, .32 ACP, .22 Magnum, etc., might have several hundred rounds each.

Got to be .22lr for most folks.

 

[Skeet 028]

At least 10 cases of 22LR..About 25 cases of 20 ga and then it is a toss up tween .223 and 45 Auto. Maybe 5000 of each. Couple thousand 9mm and going to buy more this week, Cabela's sale. Mainly for trade .... 44s are in good fettle(1500) as well as 38/357 and then the rest bring up the rear with about a 1000 each in handgun and 300 each in hunting rifle calibers but plenty of brass present too. I do need to buy some more primers though as I am down to under 16000 total. I have quit buying 22s though

Easy, it is the only cartridge that I do not hand load . . . . 22LR

In SubSonic alone I must have close to 20,000 rounds from various manufacturers so that I can test suppressor/auto-loader reliability

I know I have over 4,000 of the Aguilla Super Colibri on hand since that is what I start all novice (and apprehensive) shooters with

And who knows how much plinking 22LR is on hand. Whenever it goes on sale, I just buy another case

As to the Centerfire cartridges, I do not keep lots of ammo on hand, but I do have LOTS of components on hand. This rack (and the floor in front of it) is handgun projectiles waiting to be loaded

 

[Oldman11]

I have over 1000rds in,

.22 tcm
..22 hornet
.32 swl

.41 mag
.44 special
.44 mag

.45 l colt
.38-40 about 300 rds
.45 acp

[peterGun]

9mm and .40S&W are my primary CC guns so that's what I have most in, .380 and .45acp are 500 + each, lastly .45C a couple of 50 round boxes of Buffalo Bore.

I don't shoot rimfire anymore so I've been sitting on 1k of mini-mags for years.

Need to add more 556/223 this summer.

[OLDSTER]

[mike from st pete]

22LR it takes up the least space per 10k

 

[Wee Hooker]

For the last 15 years or so, I have made it a point to keep a 3 year reserve of ammo and/or reloading components for every caliber I own. That means I may have enough to be able to shoot 200 rounds or so of 6.5x55 Sweed/ 30 carbine, 6000 ea rounds of 9mm/45acp/38 spl, 1500 rounds of .223 ( and so on for 8 other calibers)
This has worked very well for me and allows me to continue my hobby without worry of what the rest of the world is doing. ( I'm not worring about the end of civilization here) As for .22 lr, I'm likey at the 10 yr mark as I've layed in 40,000 rounds in the last two years while it was cheap!

[Green Frog]

Hands down, it would be bulk packed 22 LR, but oddly enough, my #2 largest supply for handguns is 32 S&W Long.

[Linejudgemick]

22LR 5 to 1.

 

[growr]

I still have the box of .22lr I bought for Y2K.........thought about pawning it the other day.....think I can get $5.00 a round for it?

What a bunch of hoarders here........small attempt at humor.
