what's your average rounds-on-hand count

[Wyo]

I have enough ammo around to feed rifles in 11 calibers, shotguns in 2 and handguns in 13 for quite a while. Beyond that, I ain't talkin'!

The only factory ammo in the house is carry rounds and 22 rimfire. Everything else is handloaded, with the exception of some surplus 8mm and 7.62 Nagant. I try to keep at least 1000 rounds of each handgun caliber. Want more but get nervous if it goes below. I probably have the most of 38 special (not counting 22) at the moment.

I'm reading a book:
Patriots A Novel of Survival in the Coming Collapse by James Wesley Rawles

Amazon.com: Patriots: A Novel of Survival in the Coming Collapse (9781569755990): James Wesley Rawles: Books

its a story of survivalist(s) and in it mentions that most citizens have an average of 200 rounds of ammo ---along with not nearly enough food or any other supplies to last any length of time should the worse come to pass........

I thought I'd check it out the ammo count ---I know a gun owners/shoots forum is a little skewd ---guess I could find a scrap-booking forum and see how those guys/gals are fixed for ammo......

I read this a couple months ago...i thought it was a great read! Makes you think and buy more ammo. Even thinking about picking up some good bartering items, if need be.

What ever it is, it never seems to be enough.

I try to keep a running tally on my home computer as I'm shooting three times a week only to keep me reminded when a supply might be running low. But suffice it to say if I put what I currently have on hand in the bow of the Queen Mary she's go down like a stone.
