Ahhh yes - the ''cache split'' - did not mention that - true enough - there is ''for use'' and ''reserve'' - good to keep track of which is which.

I forgot too earlier - of course the .22's - haha - not to neglect them at all. Usually have a buffer supply of 5,000 - anything over and above that can be be shot. Reckon I have 8,000 right now!

500 rnds of 9mm in storage safe, and 650 rnds of ss192 5.7x28mm for my FN five-seven. That is hard to find and runs about 60+ per box of 50. So my FFL friend orders what he can find @ 25 per bx and calls me to come and get it. the rest is in a range bag to be used and replenished on range day (about 600 rnds of 9MM 38 spl and 250 rnds of 5.7)
