Ammo on Hand

[kriggo15]

How much ammo do you keep on hand? Enough for SD or enough for when SHTF?

Why do you want to know what everyone else has? Just stock up to the best of your ability and you should be fine.

i just keep enough components on hand to make tons of ammo, i dont keep more than 1000 or any caliber @ 1 time usually, but i can make more if need be

I don't necessarily care what everyone else has. Just thought it would be cool to see pictures of people's stockpiles.

Asking to see peoples "stockpile" is kind of like asking to see pics of someones alarms system at home. Some people wont mind but the majority of us like to keep that a secret plus it will tent to scare people off because they dont know you or know why you want too see pics of their stockpile. The best advice I can give you is to just buy what you can afford but be sure to distribute your funds between ammo, weapons, food and water evenly. all the ammo in the world wont help you if you are dying of thirst or hunger.

So true, and a point that many gunloving/preppers seem to miss. I've got a friend who has stocked no food or water but has stocked 22 ammo in the belief that people will gladly trade him their food and water for it. Not happening.

As to the question of the OP, I try to keep stocked on components that I reload for and keep a goodly stash of 22 around (that I can't reload for).

Have at least as much as you can carry while still carrying your food and water

Hemi, I understand the concern and appreciate the reply. Those that are concerned need not reply. Perhaps the opening post wasn't phrasedas intended.


Boiled, Thanks for the link.

I keep enough ammo on hand so that I can shoot as much as I regularly do regardless of shortages like the most recent one. In this case I have 6-7 years of ammo and reloading supplies.

Since I shoot daily, it'd be a several lifetime supply for the guy who only shoots a box or two a month.

 

[bstewrat3]

I can't carry my 22lr supply in my F150 in a single load.

 

[clt46910]

Enough to last me a long time and maybe into my grandchildren's time.

 

[Yeah]

How many spillover threads is this now...a half dozen?

Maybe it's the ice storm still fresh in heads.

 

[sloughfoot]

I always make sure to keep a jug of ffg and some lead round balls and some extra flints.

Ya just never know when the injuns might attack......

 

[03A3]

I keep all of mine in an old cigar box.

 

[Cowboy1629]

I keep 50 rounds loaded for each gun I have.

Actually I think I still have a footlocker full of 223 and 22-250 from our last parrie dog hunt is South Dakota.

Other than that its only one box per gun.

 

[Airborne33]

I have about 600 rounds of 5.56 I have. Half of that is loaded into 30 round mags. I have only about 60 rounds .308 for my bolt action, and about 50 rounds .45 acp. I need more of the latter two. Basically if you can't go shooting all day for three days you probably don't have enough ammo.

 

[Vlad the Impaler]

Mine fell out of the boat with my guns in that fishing accident last summer.

 

[DHolder]

One box...but, its a big one!!!!!

 

[armymp15]

I keep 2000 for the AK's, 1500-2000 for the AR's, and 500+ per handgun 45ACP, 9mm, and 40 S&W. And when ever I shoot a have some reloaded and just replace what I shoot, so I replenish my stock.
