I never said anything about being prepared for when SHTF.
I never have the time or money to even considering having as much ammo as you hott shots have. Don't get me wrong though, if I had the money I would buy thousands or rounds, but I don't. I get the impression that buying a gun(s) and having under a couple thousand rounds or ammo is un-heard of. I agree with the theory, its better to have it and not need it, but I don't agree with the theory "if you don't have 1,000,000 rounds of every caliber ammo, then why do you even own a gun". Boy, I certainly ruffled some feathers up with this one.  I learned I won't ask this question until I have about 20,000+ in ammo  |

Yeah, when I read that, I was thinking, "This guy won't make it 400 yards towards the nearest Sportsman's Whorehouse when the Zombie Invasion strikes." Hell, he might not make it out of his apartment building!

hey man, dont feel bad...
I own 5 handguns and 2 shotguns...I am preparing to buy a new AR but I doubt I will have much more on hand than that for awhile... and my ammo supply is similar to yours... honestly if I tried to spend that much money on ammo I am 100% positive that my wife would promptly open up a can and use it to shoot me... EDIT: NFA i get it now...class 3...ok...I didnt even think of that, but I remember how much ammo I used to plow through on the SAW and M60...so I can see that certainly requiring a whole lot more....I didnt even think of that...Thanks! |

NO NO NO. You did not ruffle any feathers. We all are just well versed in the art of hoarding ammo. You will learn my young Ammo Jedi.

Back when I was under 300 posts I wrote a soliloquy on the fact that I had exactly 90 rounds of 5.56 ammo in my entire inventory. There was a Gun Show coming up soon where I was planning to restock. But in the meanwhile I was undergoing withdrawal symptoms. I wish I still had that post. It was my first classic.

Don't be "turned off" by the replies of these guys. They're just messing with you.  The reason they react the way they do is because most of the people who post here about their ammo cache post so in order to show-off (with pride and in a good way) how much they have actually stocked up on. A lot of guys here are hard core shooters and can blow 1000 rounds or more per range session. Thus the need for that much ammo. Some on the other hand just want to have lots of ammo around ... for whatever reason or contingency. So when you posted this question and mentioned how much you had, they just had to rib you for that. No feathers were ruffled here. Just the normal "messing around" with a newbie.  Keep posting and more power.

I would bet I have 100,000 rounds in my reserves, some might say I am full of shit, but those who know me, Know
Here is 15,000 + rounds of .223/5.56x45  Here is some M2Ball I dont remember what is in the cans in the backgorund  , but i think the majority of it USGI 7.62x51, and some Vintage 1994 LC headstamped M193   Here is some "Loose" 7.62x51   There is a "method" to follow when you want to be a ammo whore

I am poor, and everyone know's it's more fun to waste money on guns than ammo. That said, this is roughly where I stand:
~1,500 rounds of 5.56/.223 ~1,300 rounds of 7.62x39mm ~1,300 rounds of .308 Piddly-diddly amounts of everything else (like 200 rounds or less). I feel ashamed.

Hey man, always remember, a gun is useless without ammo. Think of it as a fancy club. You don't need 1,000,000 rounds, it would be nice to have, but I don't have the room for that many. I personally am shooting for 10,000 per rifle of stock piled (not for plinking) ammo. And 1,000 of plinking ammo. Buy more plinking ammo as it runs dry. That being said I just took delivery of a crate of 1680 5.56 m855 (the good shit) from ammoman.  bringing my count to over 6,500 5.56 m855 mostly in bandolers and stripper clips. 2,000 308s British and Austrailian. Clearly not enough, but its a start. |

LOL!!! No ruffled feathers man!!! Don't let these guys bother you - a thick skin and a good sense of humor will take you far around here. Some of these guys have WAY more ammo than they'll ever need, which is great (I wish I could say the same). Others on this site don't even own a gun. FWIW, I have a little over 20k rounds right now, counting all calibers. By the end of the summer I'll have cut that in half, unless I can buy some more. |

I have about 1480 rounds of IMI .223 (thank you Wideners) about 150 rounds of .45, and about 50 rounds of .40. I also have about 75 12g., and about 50 .17hmr, as well as ~250 of .22. Keep in mind a month ago my .223 was at 2k, I had 600 rounds of .45, 350 rounds of .40.
Still very small, but I might restock with about 1k of .223, and about 500 .40. Just give me time. I don't really live on my own, (yes, point and laugh at the 17yr old who hasn't moved out) or have a job (in case you haven't noticed, kids around my age have to go to school) but when I do, I plan to own many many rounds of ammo. (After college )
