Enough, some, a bit, a case, a locker, a bunker? A pant load, s(*t load, a boat load?
Everyone has a number in mind, what’s yours?
I’ll start…since I asked. I have a little over 6k total rounds between, .22, .380, 9mm, .45 and 12 gauge.
Not much .45 since I don’t shoot it often but plenty of the rest. I’m not a bulk buyer but try to keep the inventory building a little at a time .
Haven’t really counted it up. I tend to order practice ammo in quantities of 500 or 1000 rounds per caliber to save money on bulk pricing and keep the average shipping cost per box low. I think the most of any particular caliber I have is maybe 1,200 rounds, least is about 400. I used to get to the range more often and would have shot most of that up by now, but haven’t really felt like it in a long time.

Also, my local WalMart is pretty good for just grabbing a box or two whenever I stumble in there. I find there price as good as any especially for range ammo.
I shoot 3 gun, so have a couple 100 packs of promotional 12ga around and partial case of Fiocchi Aero slugs… I reload 9mm for local matches, and have a partial case of factory for the Area 6 matches… my rifle likes S&B 55 grain, so still a partial case for A6, and some handload 69 Sierras for the 400m targets…couple cases of Wolff for occasional local matches, as I shoot .22lr for the one regular monthly multi gun match (shot on a pistol range)
I don’t know; a backpack full of shotgun and rifle; after that it’s fix bayonets.
P.S.—In a “regular” (if there is such a thing) combat situation; you can figure about 200 rounds per day.
I think I still have like 600 rounds of .45 practice ammo that will take me forever to get through because I don’t shoot it often.
500 rounds of 9mm HST
400 rounds of 9mm match ammo
About to buy 1000 rounds of 9mm practice ammo
1000 rounds of .223
250 rounds of 12 gauge that I’ve had for over a yearI need more of everything.

Not enough…..
+1 to this…I invest in precious metals whenever possible…
Mainly lead and brass, some nickel.
I believe you should have a minimum of 500 for each caliber . Plus any defense weapons should have a 1000 plus . Anyone who has lived through the last ten years , should realize that the stores are not a option . Or you find out your local sheriff is mostly out of ammo .

Around a 1,000 rounds of FMJ and 100 or more JHP. Right now only have a M&P 9. Saving up for a .38 revolver so I will probably double my stash then.
Should have more that I do with the impending zombie apocalypse and all. Funds, need more funds.

Shouldn’t there be a extra zero behind each of those numbers? Along with reloading supplies and FAKs?I have no less than 1k of each caliber. It all fits inside one building. It’s nobody’s :censored: business how much I have or don’t have.
