I think I could possibly have enough ammo....

Post by C40Pilot »

With prices falling so fast recently and availability all over the place, I hate to say I might have enough ammo. Isn't that terrible? :tommygun:

I have enough ammo, but not enough credit. Need to figure out how to pay off all the hoarding purchases.

Glad I didn't splurge too much during the attacks. Planning to stock up some more soon. This won't last, I'm afraid.

Obviously you are confused. It ain't that you have enough ammo; it's just that you need to be doing more shooting.

But you only don't shoot ammo that you can't replace. I'm pretty sure that's one of Leroy Jethro Gibbs' rules. Don't know which number.

I have my "Stash" pile and my "Shooting" Pile ....When we go out for an afternoon of shooting we always take ammo from the stash pile and rotate from the newest purchased pile. Even though we maintain a certain amount in reserve we are always buying when we see it. One never knows when you actually have "ENOUGH" ammo ! :pistol: :ak47: :machinegun: :tommygun:

You know you have a lot of ammo on hand when local PD calls and asks to borrow a few hundred rounds :whistle:

I still have room in my safe: therefore I don't have enough ammo.

The shelf with 22LR definitely could use a couple thousand more rounds.

wow if your ammo still fits into your safe... you either have a very small safe, or far to little ammo. :hysterical:

You guys sparked an inventory at my house. I have far too little. When I look at the pile, it looks impressive, so I started a spreadsheet with brands, grain count, projectile type, and round count. On paper, it looks light compared to what DHS just bought. :-(

I tried to inventory and to kinda keep track of all my ammo...Then I decided to keep 90% as Stash and 10% as shooting ammo. When we go shooting we take from our stash and replace that out of our 10% reserve. Works for us and makes it easy to rotate .

I don't now and never have thought of .22 in the thousand category. I try to think in the case quantity. Until cases are readily available, we are not seeing the end of the shortage.

I will be moving soon and I've realized that I have too much ammo. I better spend some extra time at the range before the move to lighten the move.
