Agreed... buy as much as you can when the prices are low, so you can weather the overpriced / price gouging days better. Personally I only have a box or 2.Sooner or later the prices are going to go up and things will be expensive or non existent again. Won't say what I got now but I will keep buying as I can afford it just in case. When prices do go up I can sit back and smile.

As the victor, why not just collect from your now dead opponent (s)?
I claim to be a non-hunter, which is true for game... but I hate Porcupine !!!! I shoot anything that might menace livestock, ground squirrel's, nearby coyotes (I don't bother a Coyote away from cattle, they are getting rid of rabbits) Jackrabbits and most of all Porcupine. Cows are curious and a Porcupine will give them a snoot full of needles. Cow then can't eat and make milk, calf suffers. You have to catch the cow, tie her down, blanket covering eyes, sit on neck, use pliers to pull each needle. The cow will bellow and fight with each pull. Blood and snot all over. I hate that whole deal. Plus as mentioned the Porky's kill trees (though those trees do make firewood later). The other critters have their own bad attributes, but none as bad as a Porcupine.When I was a kid growing up out in no mans land. I spent my snow covered winters hunting down porcupine's. They were all over the pine forests that went on for miles around my home.
Dead tree tops were an all to often seen sight. Tops that died from the ringing given them from a certain large rodent.
I would walk for miles in 16'' deep snow. My young eagle eye's cast to the top of pines. Searching out that familiar shape that blended in so well with the trees own needles.
And when I got one in my sights. It was as good as dead.
I learned that a head shot would leave them dead. But in the tree. [Did I mention they are good eating]
But a shot in the side of the gut, just above a bent knee would all but eject them from the tree!
[Probably from the extreme pain! But hey. I was a ruthless little kid.]
In three months I might shoot 8-12. All with a little model 67 Winchester 22 I think I was born with.
Anyways. My point is. I easily made a box of .22's last all winter.
Even with the occasional coyote, skunk and raccoon shooting thrown in.
Not to mention a few pheasant, quail or chuckers.
And if things ever go sideways. I can see myself picking my shots. And making them count.
The same way I did back on the farm.
The Jews in Warsaw started with one ladle.Assume any number you want is what is needed.
You are assuming winning each gun battle, not an impossibility.
As the victor, why not just collect from your now dead opponent (s)?
I'm thinking most that haven't seen battle wouldn't last 4 mag changes,unless they are just spray 'n' prayin.
This is the correct answer here.I'm gonna need MORE!!!!!
Well I'm in the mind set as a few on here,buy as much ammo as you can as long as all your other stores are in good shape
on they dead corpses.
