ammo is like fire wood when camping!!!! when you think you have enough for the night....Go get 3x the amount you have.

[QUOTE=LorDiego01;6656]I try to keep at least 1K rounds of each caliber.

Agreed:
********************
1K rounds of each rifle caliber
500 rounds of each handgun caliber
500 rounds of buckshot #9
********************

The rest is for plinking.

As of today, I have 10k rounds each of .223 and 9 MM, 3k of .45 ACP, and 3k of .22. Oh, and 5k brass .45ACP and 2k brass 9MM waiting to reload. Wow, I need to resupply!!!!!!!!!!

PFOA Members, how much ammo do you keep on hand? ...

A really dumb question which may be relavant to this above discussion: Is there a shelf life for ammo?

I mean, is it OK to shoot a 6 month old, or 6-year old, or 60-year old ammo? And how do you know how old the ammo that you are buying is?

Ammo goes bad really quick! If you have ammo thast over two weeks old, you need to send it to me ASAP for proper and safe disposal!!

Sriously though, ammo is safe indefinitely (within your lifetime) as long as it doesnt get wet/humid.

Then the only problem is that it just won't shoot.

it has about the same shelf life as a Hostess "twinkie".

I try to maintain a 2' - 3' high pile of ammo at all times.

I guess this should turn into a discussion on the best ways to store ammo for the long-term at some point. Let me add that I'm in no position to go first. I'm just looking to pick brains.

Lets see;

* All round count is reloaded ammo unless noted differently *

.223 - About 3000 rounds (1k being factory)
.30/06 - Hunting: 50 rounds & M1 Garand & 1903A3 : 500 rounds
8mm Mauser - 100 rounds
.303 British - 100 rounds
7.5 Swiss - 100 rounds (factory) & 100 rounds
7.62x54r - 300 rounds (factory)
7.62x39 - 200 rounds (factory)
.22 Mag - 100 rounds (factory)
.22lr - 1000 rounds (factory)
.380 - 100 rounds
9mm - 2000
.38 - 100 rounds
.44 Mag - 300 rounds (240gr) & 100 rounds (300gr)
.45acp - 2000

I think thats is. If the SHTF, I think I'll survive

I keep more ammo on hand than I will ever need for each caliber I own............but it's also less than I want to keep on hand for each caliber
