Am I getting low on Ammo?

[Sneezy]

I had my kids sort and organize my ammo today, ya know because that's what a good parent does right?

Well, I'm down to about 5800 rounds, mostly 9 mm and .22. Thrown in some .380 and .45 and a touch of .32 and that covers it all.

I might need to go buy more! (can't have enough and no time to reload)

If you can't count it all, your too low.

 

[cgrutt]

I stopped counting and started weighing...

No, seriously.

 

[Eddie Gunks]

Yeah. You are low. Especially if you had 10 bricks of 22 lr you woudl have 5000 rounds.....

 

[Podmonkey]

Too much pistol ammo since you have no rifle ammo. .22lr don't count. Trade some 9mm for the centerfire rifle cartridge of your choice.

 

[DoD1776]

No such thing as to much freedom!

5800 rounds?!?!
"Might need to go buy more"?!?!
Dude, you are having an ammo emergency!

If you have to ask, the answer is yes you are getting too low.

BUT that article I posted about the NY City gun bust said 200 rounds was a lot of firepower to have on the streets.

Fake news.

Duly noted.

 

[Bob]

Too much is almost enough.

 

[GOPerfect]

Um, in a word, Yes.

Just in 22lr, many of us have over 50,000 rounds.

9mm and 45ACP, 10,000 per caliber is the lowest I would ever think of storing.

 

[freddy]

Snappoo recommends at least 100,000 rounds!

 

[freddy]

...And 50 rifles.

 

[Airborneguy]

Jeez. I thought I was good. I have 2000 each of 7.62x39 and .223. Another 1000 of Gold Dot 9mm +P and .22. Everything else I don't keep much because I load it prior to range days or hunting trips.

Thats enough for a stash I think. That's what stocking. I'm just focusing on 5.56 and 9mm though.

I seriously don't know how he is going to sleep tonight....need more.

I have never held steadfast to a certain number per caliber. I just buy as much as financially able too. I add it to the stash. Whenever I find a good price, I buy it. I figure one can never have too much ammo. It can always be used up or sold off. Money will never be lost.

 

[Criticalt]

I do not even count anymore.
I have been adding to the stockpile for 30 years.
I have stuff that hasnt been made in 2 decades.
Hell, I have at least 10,000 rounds without a gun in that caliber to use them in!!
Soon I need to move it all, then maybe ill count it.

 

[Criticalt]

Just sitting here in the cave, I have 200 rounds of 9mm, 50 rounds of .223 and 5 slugs. All sitting on top of my cleaning kit and a plastic ammo box of an undetermined number of various rounds.
And no, I do not have kids.

LOL, I have 1000 rounds 22 Hornet but haven't gotten around to buying the gun to shoot it yet. Once saw a good deal on 357 SIG and bought it gave me an excuse to buy another Glock...

The above picture has a box of .223.
I do not have a .223 gun.

None of us NYers do. FUAC.

I love straightening out the reloading room and finding a stash of ammo buried under ammo boxes.

 

[Criticalt]

I found this in a kitchen drawer!
