How much ammo do you keep around
« on: February 26, 2013, 12:48:46 PM »
Just curious to see what most people keep as a reserve from ammo shortages. So far I have at least 1500-2000 9mm and a lot of .22, some .45 and 10mm. I'm now trying to stock up on 5.56 but it just trickles in so slow to Hawaii. So what does your stock pile look like?

I'm down to about 100 rounds of 5.56 M855 Ball and just over 200 rounds of 9mm.  Maybe a box of .45 ACP and that's about it.

Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

Actually it used to be more. KK sold off a bunch of ammo a few weeks back.

I've lost count of my ammo, I only know I got an unopened case of 1000 XM193. Few hundred M855 and 9mm with 4-5 bricks of .22LR spread out amongst several ammo cans. Couple boxes of 12ga 00 buckshot with a few boxes of 12ga #8 birdshot leftover from last time I went skeet shooting, I usually don't keep trap/skeet loads on hand and just buy the day before I plan on going to KKHSC.

According to the experts, you should need no more than 10 rounds to get you out of any situation.   :P :crazy: :wacko:

Only guys with choke say "I ain't sayin"

I don't have choke. But I ain't sayin either. So what does that mean. Idk. Haha.
