How much ammo is satisfactory

[glockfan]

Ya that ammo weighs a ton. I shop around and pay regular price for all my ammo. I see people paying these marked up prices on here and it is disturbing. All it takes is a little effort in shopping on line and keeping up with your local WalMart and you will find all the ammo you need. It will take time to build an inventory but it can be done and at regular ammo prices.

I just picked up 3 more boxes of 00 buck from Walmart today.

I don't have ANY ammunition, at all. I don't even like guns.

But IF I did like guns, and had any ammo, I think I would try to have:

5.56 - 30 loaded 30 round AR mags + another 4000 rounds in sealed ammo cans
9mm - 5 loaded 33 round Glock mags, 16 loaded 17 round Glock mags, 10 loaded Beretta mags, 5 loaded S&W mags + another 4000 rounds in sealed ammo cans
22LR - somewhere more than 10,000 - I would stop counting at 10,000 after having sold over 5000
22 magnum - 2500 rounds
12 gauge - 250 round case of 00 Buck (not enough), 200 slugs (not enough) No idea how many bird shot.
arrows - only about a dozen crossbow arrows - I'm going to have to work on that.

But that would only be IF I had guns. Y'all KNOW I sell any I get........

There's is an easy math solution.

The Amount you have on hand + 1 round = Enough ammo

Gotta have at least 3K in each caliber.

Ar's= minimum 2500 rds per gun, right now I keep 4000 per gun, shotguns 1000rds per gun, handguns 2000 per caliber

a good start...If I was going to put some ammo away for a rainy day.
10k .556
10k 5.45x39
3k .308 match ammo
10k 22lr
3k .45acp
3k 9mm
1000 rnds 7.62x54R
500 rnds of buckshot and slugs
500 rnds of #7 shot

That's a heck of a lot of Rain

Wonder what the fire department would say?
Your insurance agent?
The king and uncle Joe Biden?

Speaking of uncle Joe, I wonder if he thinks it's OK to carry a couple rounds to reload after the warning shots?

[Broken External Image]: That's a good start.

My motto was buy it cheap and stack it deep. Too bad there is no such thing as cheap ammo any more .

10k-5.45x39
5k- .22lr
3k-9mm
3k-7.62x39
2.5k- 5.56x45
1760rds- 7.62x54r
200 rds 12ga slugs
200 rds 12ga buckshot
200 rds 30.06
