More than a little, less than a lot.

Seriously though, I mainly shoot 5.56/.223 and 9 mm and have a good amount of both.  I could use some more 9 mm, but I have enough that I can wait for a sale that I like to come around. 

I could use some more 7.62.x39 though.  Since I only recently got my first AK last November, I havent' shot it much nor been able to stock up on ammo.  I could also use a bunch of 22 lr, but I figure there will always be 22 lr available for relatively cheap. 

I have a bunch of 40 S&W too, but I rarely shoot that gun.  The ammo that I do have mostly goes to my friend when we hit the range.

Ever want to "share" some of that .40, let me know! :thumbsup:

The latest Brownells update -- https://ga.brownells.com/UserDocs/Webbencharchive/June2013WebBench.htm -- describes how some firearms parts shortages are easing, but adds:

"With all this good news, there is still some not-so-good news.  We all already know it, but ammo remains hard to get, and it looks like the situation will stay that way for a while.  Demand is just so high right now that even with factories adding shifts and running 24/7, there’s just not enough to go around."

My buddy bought most of the FMJ ammo that I had left.  All I have left is some HP ammo that I keep around the house.  Rest FMJ I have is 9 mm.  Seeing more 40 in stock lately with decent pricing, so hopefully availability and price will continue to improve.

It really depends on the volume I'm shooting that month, and how much extra money I have to spend.

Usually the only ammo I'm stocked deep with is .22lr, used to be I never had less than 5 or 6 bricks laying around, but lately I've been burning thru my .22lr like crazy and haven't quite restocked yet.  I think I have about a brick and a half left.

I think I have about 500 or so some odd rounds of xm193 from the last case I bought.  I'm crossing my fingers that prices will drop below $400 a case before I restock.

.308... well I burned thru all of mine.  I think I only have a random box somewhere.  Its just getting too pricey to shoot in volume.  Makes me sad...

My .30/30 I have about 5 or 6 boxes of hunting ammo laying around. This isn't so much a high volume shooter as it is a practical meat getter.

Sad to say I burned thru all my .45acp in the last few months.  I did my first ipsc shoot, brought my uncle to the shooting range while he was visitng, and then brought a friend to the range for the first time.  I think I burned thru close to 500 rounds.  All I have left is 3 magazines of my defensive ammo, and I box of 230grain fmj.  Good news is my XDM is holding up like a champ. Looking back at ammo prices though, I shoulda bought a damn 9mm...

I don't stock too much buckshot or slugs.  I think I have about 100 or so rounds of buckshot, and maybe 3 boxes of slugs.  I just don't shoot that stuff thru it ever. I do buy 7 1/2 birdshot for trap shooting by the case though.  I think I have 6 boxes left from the last case.  I'll usually only shoot 3 or 4 or so matches on a sunday.

Yea, I'd like more, I think I gotta focus and look for a good deal on bulk .45acp.

I have enough to load 6000 rounds of 9mm, 3000 rounds of .40, 1000 rounds of .38, 1000 rounds of .223; I hav ea case 7.62, 5000+ rounds of .22lr, and about a case in all the calibers we shoot for class 9mm, 40, 45.   Not nearly as much as Keoni, but I will run out of zombies before I run out of ammo.

Oh yeah! I just got two cases of .30-06 from the CMP so that is 400 rounds.

500- 223/556
1200-9mm
1300-.40
1500-.22lr most of it cci minimag
200- .30-06
200-12 gauge buck &slug
150- .357 sig.  Rarely shoot this caliber


Over the past 9 years I would buy a few boxes here and there, the ammo shortages didn't bother me at all, I reload as well, and have enough components to add another 400-500 rounds for everything mentioned above, aside from .22 of course, and 12 gauge.  I just need the spent brass.  A few years ago, I found 3 bricks of .22 ammo, all three of them were Federal, one box was even match if I remember correctly and they were all about 3/4 full, and the people just left it behind like it was trash.  Thanks to them, I was able to feed my 10/22 without having to crack open the minimags.
