Just curious .... ammo reserves

[Zeke2A]

Just curious as to what everyone else has as far as reserves go . Here are mine and my wife says I am paranoid :

.32 ACP 100 rnds FMJ / 100 rnds HP
.38 Special 200 rnds FMJ/Wadcutter mixed and 50 rnds Critical Defense
.40 Cal 650 rnds FMJ and 200 rnds HP ( and 20 rnds of Zombie Max just in case )
.44 Special 300 rnds LSWC and 150 rnds HP
.44 Magnum 200 rnds SJHP
7.62x39 2,000 rnds surplus FMJ
12ga 50 rnds 00 buck , 25 rnds Centurion buck and ball and 20 rnds slug
.35 Remmington 50 rnds and some loose 200gr SP


All in all 4K rounds. Somehow I think some of you will surpass that number....

I'm not going to give numbers or goals I'm working towards, but your list seems more like a 'standard stock on hand' list than a 'reserve' list to me.

Zeke,

You are a lightweight Keep buying.

As much as you can afford while storing safely.

Always assume that when it comes to ammo, whatever you have isn't enough. Besides, it's not like the stuff will ever get cheaper so you can think of it as an investment. It's not paranoia; it's good economics!

I have taken to "collecting" three handgun calibers and 4 rifle calibers.... It makes Seneca for me but yes, you can always store more!

[West Chester]

Only time you can have too much ammo is when you are on fire or trying to swim.

[mpan72]

Not much. Plan on stocking up over the next few months. Also plan on getting a few more guns in at least 2 calibres that I don't have now.

What may seem like a reserve to some, may just be a minimum stock of ammunition on hand for another. It all depends on what each shooter's definition of an ammunition supply entails.

For a competition shooter, a certain amount of practice ammunition as well as match ammunition needs to be maintained, in all calibers with which they compete. For a sportsman, enough ammunition to get them through target practice, and onhand for hunting may be all they need.

We all have our different uses for our firearms, and as such, our own individually tailored ammunition requirements. What suits one class of shooter does not suit all classes of shooters.

I'm not sure what I have as far as reserves go but I know I shot a shit load of ammo this year and never replaced it. However I still have enough to fill all my mags a few times each and I have a couple hundred mags, mostly 30rnd AR mags. That does not count my pistol mags but I'm very low on handgun ammo, gotta stock up over the winter.
