Whats your comfortable amount of ammo

[380guy]

Well I'm glad to see we all pretty much think a like. I'm like a lot of people who just pick up a couple boxes of ammo whenever I go to the store. My goal is to have 5k of each caliber, getting close and will get there as soon as I get my Dillon. Also, very good points about one man wont cut it but 5, 10, 15 will!

If you know how much ammo you have, you don't have enough

 

[IndyDave1776]

Too much is never enough.

500 per caliber

Hard answer for sure. For me its AT LEAST 100 rounds of all chambering I can use. In a SHTF OR I need to split ammo betwwen friends for survival I saw 2 full reloads in each gun. Enough to hunt a bit and if needed be used as a "get another gun, gun"

Then again for my own peace of mind I say 500 rds+ of rotating stock.

I puchase 2 hi-cap mags for my XD and quickly realized you eat a lot of rounds shooting with those things. I'm now increasing my nuber to about 2k+. It was alot of fun shooting however, made me think twice if I was to use them I better be able to fill them up over and over again.

I have a problem: I have two 22's one is a Henry survival rifle w/2 8rd mags and 2 15rd mags, the other is a pheonix arms hp22 pistol. I have 1,800rds of .22 for them. I am willing to let go of 500rds of it, i have a man offering 200rds of 7.62x39 in trade for it and 2 sks mags (which i dont need, i have plenty of mags) my current supply of 7.62x39 is 400rds, would it be wise to go ahead with the trade? I think it would be.

 

[jmemmert]

yes.. that is a crazy good deal even without the mags

500 is your typical brick which goes for roughly $23. In this deal your paying roughly .12 cents a round for the 7.62 and the mags are free. Hell yes its a deal.

****REVISED****


Actually it was 400rds of 7.62x39 for 500rds of .22lr and 3 sks mags.....

I am trading him 500rd of .22lr and 3 sks mags in return he is giving me 400rds of 7.62x39..

I still believe its a good deal!
