Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Frankmurphy22: i was walking around with a broken ankle for 5 years. always wondered why it hurt. turns out the bone was broken in 3 places and i had bone fragments floating around. on top of that, the novickular(spelling???) joint(ankle joint) was trashed. bone on bone with no cartilage left at all. i couldn't move my ankle right to left and it hurt extremely bad when i did accidentally bump it. so, thanks to the reduction in work from covid, i figured now was a good time to have it fixed. the problem is definitely fixed, but i need to recover. my foot is still swollen beyond belief. can't do any lifting. The navicular bone is sort of like the keystone of the ankle. Between it, the talus, and the calcaneus (heel), you have the entire connection for the front of the foot to the leg... So yeah, it's a bad bone to break. Glad you got it fixed. But you didn't answer a previous question: did you break it by dropping an ammo can on it?  I have more components than loaded rounds at the moment - no time to load, or to shoot for that matter.  But I fully endorse the "don't fill a 20mm can with" concept. Heck, a 50 cal can full of 9mm is enough to make you wonder about your back's relationship with the rest of your body... |

When I started to accumulate enough ammo that I needed some sort of organization I broke down my cases of 45ACP and started filling fat 50's. When I got done and went to move the cans I realized I made a bad mistake.

A 50 can filled with 22lr is no joke either. Also learned the hard way.

Yep. Just cause it fits doesn't make it a good idea. My limit is 2k 9mm or 45acp. I don't find it convenient trying to lift any more than that. I'll be in 2 cases in a can and call it good.
2k is probably too much. But it's a nice round number. Just in projectile weight, 2000 230gr projectiles is 65lb. And 2k 147gr projectiles is 41lb. And 115gr come up to 32lb. I don't need to know the weight of the powder, brass, and primers to know it's heavy enough that I don't really want to be moving it. |

I guess that's not too surprising. That is about 89 of those 14k round drums that come 4 to a pallet. 22 pallets. about $400k in ammo inventory assuming a $4.5k per barrel cost.
For him it's an essential business requirement. If there isn't ammo, there is no business. |

I am an ammo noob compared to most but had enough to keep me shooting during the shortage/price increases.
My .22 stash made it to 27k and is down to 24k and drops 400 round each week. I’m holding off buying 9mm and 5.56 sitting at 4K-9mm and 5k-5.56 currently |

Like when 9MM WWB was $10/100 most places ie wally world Like when 223/Win 3131A was about $150/K ie Galyan's. Or surplus SA 223 was 11cpr in 2700rd crate at Sportsman's Guide. |

Dude - if I had only 10,000 rounds on hand, do you really think I'd burn through a WHOLE 1000 rounds in ONE YEAR? No wai! You're an ammo whore if you don't shoot because you might deplete your stash.
