How much ammo should I own ? What's an average? I know it's a personal preference. But I'm just wondering what other people stock up on and how much ?
Bluez sounds like a great concept, I will keep that in mind.bluez said:I have this rule of thumb.
I think it is proportional when one spends the price of the gun on Ammo as a Iron reserve.
So if I have a 1500 dollar gun I might stash 1500 dollars of ammo.
This formula adjusts for price bubbles.
I know I will gte a lot of flak for it but the more you think about it the more it makes sense.
Lolololol too funny !!!JonM said:the answer to how much ammunition is enough is 1 round per second for the rest of your life. 85 years 2,682,396,000 rounds of ammo enough to take one shot every second. if you havent got that much ammo you dont have enough. pro-rate for age.
Hence why there isn't any .223 anywhereJonM said:the answer to how much ammunition is enough is 1 round per second for the rest of your life. 85 years 2,682,396,000 rounds of ammo enough to take one shot every second. if you havent got that much ammo you dont have enough. pro-rate for age.
I have about 2k rounds of 223 and have not bought a round in about a year.Hence why there isn't any .223 anywhere![]()
Thanks. This way things stay proportional.. It would make sense to only ahve a single rifle and 15,000 rds of ammo since you'd be sitting on uselss ammo if yur gun breaks in SHTF.Bluez sounds like a great concept, I will keep that in mind.
Cash is king... if you care.is there any way to get flagged for buying too much? whether its reloading components or manufactured ammo, kind of like when you buy 3-5 rifles or handguns in the same week.
I wouldnt think so but who knows.....credit card data and online transactions can be data mined at much later dates.....these days...
Really a month of what? Target practice?seriously, you only need enough ammo to last you a month. I have a couple of boxes of .45 ammo, 1 box of British .303, and 2 boxes of 9mm, and a box of .380. Anything more than that is just feeding your paranoia.
Sure if that's what your using it for. Do you really think that there is going to be another civil war?Really a month of what? Target practice?
What hole in sand are you storing your head in! The feds just ordered 1.4 billion rounds of .40 hand gun ammo, hollow point, as well as 7,000 full auto .308 riffles. No, not the marines, navy, airborne, coastguard, nope. It was for agencies like the social security admin. Now what does the SS need with a cash of weapons like that?seriously, you only need enough ammo to last you a month.

I hope not, but I do believe we will have aSure if that's what your using it for. Do you really think that there is going to be another civil war?
The department of fema has millions of coffins, distributed all across the united states in fema camps. These coffins are over sized and hold three bloated bodies in each one. If they are not planning for war, just what are they planning for?Sure if that's what your using it for. Do you really think that there is going to be another civil war?
