How much 22LR ammo should we have in our reserve?

[IronMonster]

Why even bother? Because I have 4 dedicated .22LR cans and they are the most fun suppressed guns I have!

Some people!

Not enough, Have shot more slightly larger caliber than .22LR in the past few years including and also pistol calibers more, Have only bought a couple hundred rounds since SH. One of these days I'll starting shooting the ancient stuff and replace it as I go. 10K sounds like a good goal! If you are teaching kids, figure a box (50 rds) for each kid plus one for you each time you go to the range. times the number of times you go a month.

Your 9mm guy !! You don't need no stinkin 22

I have a 50 cal ammo can full as "stash" as I find it I shoot it, keeping the can full. If .22 isn't available for a little while I shoot other stuff.

I'm with others on buying some at good prices.
I had 20k when I moved here and needed to sell some stuff to get a vehicle. But I still have around 10k.
I see it as food money. I can have grouse,rabbit,deer,elk.....oh wait ,that would be illegal.
Food money,never enough,especially if the supply runs out after Hildabeast takes over

not enough, thanks for the reminder - it's also my HD caliber (my neighbors appreciate it) so I better stock up

 

[BlackdogGS]

11,072 in an ammo can. Another 1,000 or so in a drawer.

More.

To paraphrase Ron White, "When I have 5000 rounds of .22, I am out of .22". Currently sitting on about 20K. We live close to a Bi-Mart and stop by most Tuesdays and Thursdays to see what they got in. If it is something I use a box comes home with me. I have used some of it to sweeten a deal when selling a rifle, especially to a newbie. No one wants to buy a gun they can't get ammo for.

Seems like it's getting pretty easy to find the basic stuff at 6 or 7 cents per round now. That makes me happy.

As long as you live where you can mail order the big panic is finally over. I have seen a few but this one took the cake. I hope this will wake a few more up this time. You don't need to go into debt but lay in a little here and there, more than you shoot. Do this until you have enough to last a couple years. Whatever that means to you. So next time there is a panic you're not caught with a few boxes and wondering how to get more.
