Too Much Ammo?

I ain't going to show my stock pile but I all ways say" If you know how much ammo you have, you don't have enough!" lol

 

Thats like saying you have too much air.

 

I go threw more then that every time I hit the range.

Good rule of thumb is at least 1,000 rounds per caliber at the minimum.

 

What ammo? I don't have any.

 

I have at least a case of ammo for every caliber. Never too much ammo. If you shoot a lot, it's worth buying a case.

 

I usually throw about 300 rounds down range per visit.

 

Yeah, I WISH i had that much. I shoot more than I bring in. Kind of like how my wallet feels....

You're def. not crazy. You hear on the news "... and they confiscated over a thousands rounds of ammunition...". I think to myself, that's 3 weeks worth of shooting for me. That's not a lot.




Good on you for having a stockpile. It's money in the bank.

D

 

I need to get a safe to store ammo in. I don't have enough room in the one safe I have to store much and I don't like leaving any of it lying about. There is no point in buying ammo for someone else.

 

Love that.....

 

Welcome to the Forum yakuza!

 

I always add a few more boxes everytime I go to walmart! Funny thing is...I am far from having 'enough!'

 

A wise man once told me - no such thing as too much ammo. Just like there's no such thing as having too much money.

 

Is there any special way to store ammo and is there any kind of shelf life on it?

 

He is a good read on that subject: https://www.glockforum.com/forum/f12/how-long-does-ammo-last-725/

 

I don't think 1000 round per caliber is unreasonable since a person can easily blow off 100 rounds per outing. That's only 10 outings, if you go once a month that's not even a years supply.
As soon as I get more bullets I'll finish loading up my 45acp(only caliber I have currently) and that'll give me about 1100 rounds. I think that's a good start but I'd like 2000 put back so I won't have to reload as often.

 

A handgun or rifle is one of the only tools that, without ammunition, is almost useless unless you can throw it very hard and accurately. 10rds. and a .45 can kill eleven men!

 

Doing better then me after my range trip today I came home with 7 .40 Bullets I think I went a bit overboard Lol its ok ill be swinging by a gun shop tomorrow to pick you a few hundred rounds

 

I have to make do with one ammo can.
