Poll: How much ammo do you have??

[PDXSparky]

The folks over at arfcom don't count their 22LR in the ammo when they discuss their ammo stocks. I do however.

Ammo ho's

Of course, their answer to the question is "not enough" and I'll agree. Every time I go to Bimart and 22LR, 9MM or .223/5.56mm is on sale it seems like a couple of boxes accidentally fall into my cart.

Is this enough?


And just so you know, this isn't my stuff.

A lot of the ammo pictured in this thread was, unfortunately, aboard the boat at the time of the accident when the boat sunk.

5000 rounds is one $270 case of 22 caliber ammo.

It would be better to have the right amount of the right ammo.

 

[Burt Gummer]

Ammo falls into the category of a real 'thing.' Like buying precious metals - gold, silver, platinum, etc - but this metal has a usable purpose for the average Joe.

Giving the choice of having ever-declining dollars/digits or something real like ammo, a screwdriver, cordless drill, etc I'll take a 'thing', something real. Easy to barter down the road.

i count the .22 lr,and if one has to be on the move it is alot easier to carry alot of .22lr ammo than most other rounds

 

[Marz]

theres never enough.... is there?

 

[errackeleo]

I am not a paranoid hoarder. I keep a box or two for each of my guns. I shoot Too often and can't build up a stockpile

I also count .22LR since 3 of my guns shoot this caliber, and because I went shooting twice this weekend with my son, I'm now need to replace nearly 1000 rounds of .22LR plus another 100 rounds of 9mm.

Someone who keeps more than a box or two is far from a paranoid hoarder. If you cannot afford to have a reasonable supply of ammo, that is fine, but it is unnecessary to negatively label those who can.

About 400 rounds less than Friday

 

[Stomper]

5K- 7.62x39
6k- 5.56
2k- .308
5k- 22lr
.5k- 00buck
.5k- 1oz slugggers
.3k- #2 shot
3k- 9mm
2.5k- .45ACP
.5k- .357Mag


That's a LOT of dough sitting in ammo cans right there (and more is added when the planets, stars, and shopping trips fall into alignment), but like Gummer said, its all REAL assets that are useful to the "average Joe"... I won't EVEN get into the hardware I have that all this will feed.

I have enough to heavily supply/equip an Infantry squad and feel prepared for a total breakdown of society... or rioting in the streets when the "goobermint" checks stop rollin' in and all them piglets on the dole want to TAKE from those have earned and "have"... we keeps whats ours!

It looks like I need to go shooting so I can have some brass to reload. Oh, wait...

 

[nwdrifter]

That is a good question. I don't know the answer but when you check you might also want to also check with the Fire Marshal.

Don't think so. I don't see anything in the ORS regarding it. Ammo is covered under state preemption too so local jurisdictions shouldn't be able to make their own laws.

That's a good start. I'm getting there. As others have said, I am not waiting for the end of the world as it won't happen anytime soon but having guns/ammo is the only way I can have a savings account and not widdle it away on crap. Or the wife I should say.

Currently have:

7.62x39 = 1500
5.56 = 8800 (with 2k more ordered from Global Arms)
.308 = 1450
.22lr = 12000
9mm = 3100
45acp = 650
12gauge = 500maybe. I never shoot it.

Just getting into AKs so need a lot more x39 ammo. Thankfully it's cheap!

[CharonPDX]

I'd have to count, I know I was just above the line for one of the categories before my recent range trip, and am not certain how many I fired on that trip. To play it safe, I answered the lower number.

 

[Godfather911]

Look's like I am behind on the power curve...just say, more 10/22 then 5.45,9mm and 12 gauge.

Well, at least you had a boat.

All I had was a measly bicycle that tragically and accidentally got tipped off over a bridge. What sucks worse is all my ammo and guns were on it.
