Wow, ammo!!

bigdaddyjunior

I was organizing things last evening.Getting the ammo put all in the same lockable place. I was amazed at how much I've accumulated if you add the reloads to the factory stuff. I recall the post that Josey made about the guy that had a thousand rounds or something and the papers and police made that sound like enough for a war. I try to keep that much for each caliber. Except the shotguns I only keep a couple of cases each, but it will get used up during bird season and have to be replaced.Really I'd like to have five thousand rounds of 45ACP alone. Its nothing to shoot four or five hundred every week or two between the 1911's and the Thompson. 22's is another that you need a big pile of. And those Fal's are some hungry buggers. Also I keep worrying that some of it will go way up in price or stop being available all together. So how much is enough and why should anyone else worry about it.

I want a 53' trailer full of ammo for every thing I shoot, except for my rifles that means lotsa work for me. I don't believe in store bought ammo for my rifles so I got some loading to do.

I use to load some pretty good 30/30's for hunting, but only do the pistol calibers now. Least 'til I put the 375 barrel on the TC for bear season.

You can never have too much ammo. For reasons you stated if nothing else (price, availability.)

A few summers ago, every time we went into Walmart we would buy a brick or two of 22's. Did that all summer long. Put them somewhere safe, (not in the safe) sure wish I could find that stash. Hate to see what the papers would say about 30-40,000 rounds of ammo, even if it is only 22, I am sure they would have a hay-day with that one.

My wife and I have different ideas on whats enough ammo. I think when I see an empty spot somewhre in my gun room or garage, it should be filled with new ammo. I've been reloading for over 40 years, yet never seem to catch up to what I shoot. Lately, I've been buying good quality .308 surplus when I can find it, and oh yea, 9mm, .45acp and .40 S&W TOO! Hmm, Cabella's had a good sale on .300 WM a couple of moths ago, got 2 cases of that, and oh yea, Kisslers had .303 Brit SP at $5.00 a box months ago, needed 2 cases of that too. Help me I can't quite!![xx(][xx(][xx(]

If you don't have the ammo and enough of it...
You simply have a gunsafe full of trotline weights.

I keep a 1000 rounds of 223 for my ar15 and at least 500 rounds of 45 and 9mm. 22's vary I usually keep 500 rounds or so but as you know it goes fast.

Glad I'm not the only hoarder of ammo. I went home last night and counted over 6K rounds. IMO, shooting is no fun without ammo [:o)][;)][:D].
