Always Confirm Your Inventory

[bobzilla]

Interestingly enough I did just that after coming home from voting. I was mildly surprised to have a OT 300 more rds of .45acp then I thought. Still want more.

So, KF, how do you label 9mm Mak?

Kirk does not have any. Shocker I know.

Keep number of calibers down (I am still at 6 pistol, 6 rifle), but have a bunch of ammo in those calibers on hand.

I wish an inventory wouldn't take several days, involve a backhoe and a road trip. There's stuff stashed everywhere across several states.

*Tears of joy* I love INGO so much right now.

I popped open the Royal Blue cans and found thousands of rounds of 5.45X39.
.

If I did this I would be delighted. It would be a sign that I need to go buy a AK-74 pattern to go with my 7.62x39 AKs.

Kirk, can you come help me locate the 2-3 Shield mags that I cannot find?

 

[lstout]

I started doing this last night and I realized I need more cans. Especially now that I'm taking up reloading I've got a feeling I'm going to need a bunch more can. Does anyone have a hookup on inexpensive cans?

Tape and a sharpie for me as well. Wish I had the problem of having to organize my ammo. Mine gets shot up and then I have to fill them back up again. Never have enough. The more I make the more I can go shooting.

 

[dieselrealtor]

if you put clear packing tape over white label, sharpie stands out & easily erases with alcohol.

I keep mine stacked by caliber in a large cabinet. I shoot and reload more 9mm than anything so those go in sealed cans. For all others, I keep old ammo boxes (labeled correctly) and put reloads in them.

Yes, I can in fact. Your best starting point is Kirk's basement. I'll get you started on sweeping and cleaning and then move you to sorting brass and then priming cases.

You should find your magazines in 6 to 7 months of 12 hour a day labor.

Most of my ammo is in an amorphous state, it could become a lot of different cartridges.

I tried to count my inventory, ONCE, and stopped at 10.000 rounds .....

That was just .22, and ONE caliber of reloads !!!!!

WOW! Three decimal accuracy ... and you didn't even need to use your toes.

 

[halfmileharry]

I have a lot of ammo I've been sitting on in case we go through a shortage.
I've got ridden of some guns and don't need some of the ammo I have.
Some of it is ammo I tried for accuracy that didn't work out. Some of it my guns didn't like much.
I don't run short on ammo and I keep a running count as I shoot/trade/sell/BUY more ammo.
Inventory count should always be updated.

 

[Michigan Slim]

I'm thinking of dumping all my ammo on the floor and doing a snow angel kind of thing. Is this wrong? My daughter says it is bad bad bad cause we would need to sort it later... But man that would be cool

 

[4651feeder]

I keep all my ammo cans marked with 6 dot braille tape in case I'm pepper sprayed or the power goes out prior to when I might need it most.

 

[RobbyMaQ]

Thanks for the reminder!
Though I've been dreading it for some time now... I usually go through and clean/organize/inventory the closet and safe each winter since I'm stuck indoors due to the cold.

Except I wind up having to organize & clean during the summer also

On the note of ammo storage, I do not advise use of any of the plastic ammo cans. We had a house fire a couple of years ago and all the plastic cans got melted and ammo was ruined by water and heat. The ammo in metal cans was all in good condition, so now i use metal cans exclusively. Lost 1,000's of pistol and .22 rounds but all rifle was stored in metal. Hope this gives you all something to consider!! And yes i do my bi monthly rotation and inventory all cans are labeled even spam cans
