how many rounds of ammo do you keep on hand?

[emarsh]

Personally, I do not like to get below about 12,000 rounds, you know, just in case. Most of mine however are . 22's, I think they are the best because they don't take up much space. My assault rifle is a . 22 magnum auto rifle, yeah it's all legal.

I try to keep about 1000 rounds of ammo around the house for each weapon that I have. Takes a rather large gun safe just to hold the ammo.

I used to keep upwards of 5000 rounds because I was shooting every day. Thinking about it there are probably about 2000 rounds of various stuff around. Of course I could fire up the Dillon 550 and get back to prior levels in a short time. The way I figure I should have enough to take the other guys if needed.

I think the . 22s' are a very good caliber to keep up in supply.

About 3,000 rounds of 7. 62x51, 1,000 of 7. 62x39, and only a couple hundred each of 5. 56x45 & . 22LR. The lack of 5. 56 is a money thing, the lack of . 22LR is because it's too easy to shoot everything you just bought, along with some of what you still had! Oh, and I'm really short on 12-gauge.

I keep at least the components for 10,000 . 223 (for 3 rifles) and 5000 . 308, 2000 . 45 acp, 2000 38 super, 2 cases 12 ga buckshot and 1 case slugs. plus many bricks . 22 RF and many components for just about any caliber in general use today.

Who do you work for, and why do you want to know?

Think you can trust the government?..... ask an Indian

 

[me4osu]

Plenty

And a few painted rocks in my pasture.

 

[emarsh]

when I tell people how much I keep on hand, they look at me like I'm some sorta gun nut, you know. I think it is my duty as a citizen to be ready for anything that might occur. All of my firearms AND ammo is in the safe, away from children and thieves, so it is not like I am storing in a irresponsible manner. And no I don't work for the government, although as a taxpayer, I guess you could say we all do!

A few thousand. Someone stole a case (500 rds. ) of 9mm a month ago when house got broken into.



They didn't get my guns out of my safe though.

I'll never tell...............

What's more important is that you have reloading supplys.

I have the feeling that all this may be gold someday.

As a general rule, I used to try to keep 1000 rounds for each gun I own, and enough reloading supplys to reload at least twice that with the brass. 4X is better.

I was broken into a few weeks ago. They didnt get a G-D thing.

The house was alarmed (scared them off as soon as they got in) but it's now like Ft Knox.

The eye's of ATF are upon you

 

[Skydiver]

Yep

And H. O. W ain't joking.

 

[emarsh]

OK, so I lied, I got 100 billion bullets. Come and get me if you can.

 

[RamThatStroker]

Gee compared to you guys I feel inadequate... I have about 1000rds of . 22 about 200rds of 30-30 and 30-06, 100rds of 12 gauge buck shot, and about 50 rds of 8mm. . I wish I could get more of the 8mm but they are hard to find and usually quite expensive when you do find them

Is lots an adequate answer? Well if not then I have about 1500 12ga, 500 10ga, 500 20ga (I duck hunt alot). Loaded rounds for the rifles amount to about 2000 rounds but I have about 200lbs of powder, 2000 rounds of brass, 10000+ primers, and 10000+ bullets. ATF already knows me by all those Damn yellow papers I've had to fill out.

Well if you must know

In the Blank Compound of Insanity I keep many a rounds of ammo (I don't know how many but the storage room is plum full), a few hundred rockets for the antitank launchers, 12 cases of grenades, and 2,000 gallons of fuel for the flame throwers.



At the house the #'s are a little more limited but not by much.



Question of the day:



Does any one know were I can purchase a like new tracked personnel carrier? ( for hunting of course )



Thanks

I have only 500 rounds of . 22 rimfire. I am sure that before I got to use all of that in a firefight, either I or the perpetrators would be dead or incapacitated or the the SWAT team would have arrived.

I've got only one, it's silver for vampires.
