So I was sitting here watching the NASCAR race, having a rum and a smoke - when the question crossed my mind: How much ammo do I have?

So I dragged it all out and listed it (see below). So again, I'm thinking: Is this like a normal amount? To much - not enough - I dunno. It's not like I'm expecting a Taliban or Commie attack to happen on my street in the next week. Now Zombies on the other hand - you just never know.

So how much do you guys keep around? Don't have to list it out like I did - round numbers is fine.

Ron

Following the book of Ratters, if you can count your ammo you dont have enough! :-)

1000 rounds for each weapon is the minimum needed to last a night of zombie killing!:-)

I probably have 800 or so .40 cal rounds (jacketed hollow points and target rounds), 500 or so 30-30 rounds, and a lot of various types of 12 gauge shells (mostly birdshot though)
[Reply]

I have a few rounds :-)

I'm not really sure how much I have.

Probably 1000 to 1200 rounds of .45 acp.

At least 3000 rounds of 8mm. Got a good deal years back. :-)

Maybe 1000 rounds of .38.

Another 500 or so of .357?

Who knows how much .22.

Around 200-300 rounds of 7.62x39? Not sure.

And some 12 gauge. Can't recall exactly how much.

And I guess a handful of boxes of .380 and 9mm.

Oh, and maybe a couple hundred rounds of .30 carbine.

And whatever else I'm forgetting. This is off the top of my head, and my memory has been known to be suspect. :-)

Darn, I guess maybe I should do an inventory too.

I got over 3000 rounds of .22
over 1000 rounds of .45
a case of 00 buckshot
a couple spam cans of 7.62
about 1000 rounds of .223


I'm ready for the Zombies:-)
[Reply]

Around 2000 rounds of 7.62x39 and 1000 of .40

My .223/5.56 days are long gone. To expensive.
[Reply]

I've got about 200 rounds of 357 mag, about 100 rounds of crap cheap 9mm and a couple hundred rounds of .22.

I really need to find a source for good cheap 9mm.
[Reply]

Not enough... need to start reloading.

Off the top of my head, I know I've got around 3k .22 LR, and probably around 1k of .225/5.56.
[Reply]

I'm comin to ur guys place when the zombies come. I can never seem to keep ammo too long. I always end up shooting it as fast as I get it. I actually have bout 100rds of 12ga 00 buck right now.
[Reply]

Neither of us have enough Ron.
[Reply]

:-)
[Reply]

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. :-)
[Reply]

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.
[Reply]

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.

7.62 x 39: 800
7.62 x 51: 400
12ga: 250 (mostly bird shot)
.22 lr: 1000+
[Reply]

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

Too many .223 and 45 rounds to count.
[Reply]

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.
[Reply]

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.
