How much ammo do you keep on hand, revisited (MERGED) - Page 5

ridurall · April 10th, 2008, 11:23 PM

I started counting and finally gave up. Over 6000 rounds of battle rifle and defensive handgun stuff. Plenty of reloads for my hunting guns. Plenty of ammo for my CCW guns. a few thousand 17 HMR, 22 Mag and 22 LR. Lots of powder, primers, brass, lead and the moulds to cast it into everything but .22 caliber. I'm glad I live in the country and not under the fire codes cause I wouldn't pass. I do have a fire resistant tornado shelter under my house where I can keep everything in a controlled environment. Oh forgot to mention the shotgun ammo. I've got plenty of that also. While I was checking I noticed that a bunch of it came from my father and is still paper hull loads. Even got some really old .22 Super-X ammo. Before they unwrap my fingers from a empty gun it's not going to be cold. My fingers will probably be burned onto the barrel.

I got 1000rnds of 7.62x39 and dont even have an AK or SKS :(

For the Sig around 300rnds of .40cal... and the .22LR around 800

Forgot to say that I reload, so I guess I have the fixings for 3-4,000 more rounds.
