Now Elderboy02 has got the right idea! Need to get those loose boxes sealed up though. Ammo ain't any good if the powder is gooey.

You can keep as much as you want and properly stored is will be good for 20 years or more. If you shoot, rotate through your stock.

Anything you can't carry (try humpin that full 50 cal ammo can a few miles !) is useless. Pack for portability, in case the zombies overrun your castle.

I think it's a great thread bro!!

I have a dozen boxes of 20 guage shells for my 20 guage shotgun that was given to me.

Apparently not Dave - just look at some of those lists!

We get a Zombie attack and we are gonna have to combine supplies. And I'm bringing my machete just in case - LOL

Ron

Better start practicing with the machete. You figure if Zombies hit, Even a 20,000 rnd stockpile is going to get worn down eventually. At which point EITHER you're one of the last humans left and you can steal everyone elses ammo, or they already used it all up in their own defense and you better be comfortable with the blade

Looking at your stash Ron, I would say you need more high power stuff. If the zombies attack and you are high up on a roof, then the pistol rounds are going to start losing their effectiveness. Or if the zombies are running after you, you'll have to wait until they get into pistol range. I'd rather take them out at rifle range. More 30-06!

Number of rounds, including rounds in magazines. Rounded up/down to full box number quantities.

.50 BMG: 50
7mm Rem Mag: 60
9mm: 400
45 LC: 150
45ACP: 450
5.56 mm: 600
6.8 SPC: 300
7.62 x 39: 800
7.62 x 51: 400
12ga: 250 (mostly bird shot)
.22 lr: 1000+

05-31-2010, 09:11 AM

I have about 200 rounds of 9 mm on hand. I would like to keep upwards of 1000 but its just not in the cards right now. I try and buy a box every payday but it doesn't always work.

lostark374 · 05-31-2010, 09:19 AM

more than i would openly admit on a public forum!

i did buy it cheap and stack it deep!

really i would have to break it down by Country instead of caliber.

i know im down to about 5000 rounds of paki 7.62 x 51 (wish i bought more at $79 a thou) got plenty of port and lake city to hold it down for a long time. only a few thou of 7.62 x 39 but only own a few guns that use that round. 0 223 (dont own a gun for that round anymore) got enough 12ga and 9mm to last. 22-250 is very low less than 1k. just a couple boxes of 338lm but dont break it out often. everything else i dont shoot enough of to care.

floydpink · 05-31-2010, 07:47 PM

Not enough, but hope to never be in a prolonged gunfight.
I have noticed that ammo I like is easier to find as opposed to a year or two ago.

stitch · 05-31-2010, 08:07 PM

Hmmmm let me see .... I thinks....
7.62x39 5000
45ACP 5000
.357 2000
.41 Mag 2000
.380 2000
444 1000
45 Long Colt 3000
30-06 2000
But if you add in all my Mormon Buddies up here we probably have 10 Million between us all

05-31-2010, 08:25 PM

I don't have anything, and have never heard of the stuff.

G G · 05-31-2010, 09:07 AM

I dont know how much i have but it's not enough.

icehog3 · 05-31-2010, 09:08 AM

Too many .223 and 45 rounds to count.

I have .40 up the azz but can not for the life of me find .45 rounds for a reasonable price to stock up on. Could be I just picked up my first .45 a few weeks ago but I can find every other sized round in decent well priced quantities except .45.

Cabelas has bulk packs. I am getting ready to make a purchase from them to feed my new Sig.

I only have like 100 rounds of .45

By far and alone my worst stocked caliber........

Spiffy USPct .45 to put rounds through and no rounds to be had...

I'm the exact opposite.... I got plenty of .45 rounds (and pistols to shoot it), but I'm thinking of ditching my .40 because I can't afford to shoot the thing!

shilala · 05-31-2010, 09:39 AM

I don't think I have but a thousand rounds, all told. And I like to kill stuff, and I definitely like to go out and make the guns go boom.
I don't know what's wrong with me. Gettin old, I guess.
