How much ammo [per caliber] is enough?
How much ammo makes you a dirty hoarder?
>enough
No such thing.

It only makes you a dickish hoarder if you're snapping thousands of rounds all up at 1am from stores during a panic with no intent to actually shoot it.
During normal times (now is relatively stable in the market), eh, buying shit ain't hoarding.
>>27948020
^^This. I have a thousand rounds for my rifle, a few hundred each for pistol and shotguns (even at the height of the panic, I could still get 12 gauge easily) and only four hundred for .22s. I am definitely no hoarder and wish I had ten times as much .22.
You are such a fucking faggot holy shit

How much is too much? When it's more than you want. What makes you a hoarder? When you think you are a hoarder
Fuck off retard
"a few more boxes"
>>27948056
>10x as much
That's literally like 300 bucks.
>>27948098
Not available locally, can't order online.

You look like you're in great shape OP but you have empty floor space and you could beef those shelves up and add another 40% ....money willing.
>>27948020
Screw you, prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance. You got caught out of ammo with your pants down and it's our fault?
I bet you're one of those idiots who thinks he'll just hit the Walmart as the shit starts hitting the fan to stock up on green beans and tuna fish, you gonna whine about the bastards who have big fat pantriesready to go?. So tired of lazy people who bitch about not having anything.
>>27947943
>How much ammo [per caliber] is enough?
Enough to me is surviving a big ammo panic without slowing down my shooting habits. I prefer more, and have enough to survive at least 2-3 in most calibers I shoot.
>How much ammo makes you a dirty hoarder?
IMO, it's when you have more than you'll ever shoot in your lifetime, and you know it, yet keep adding pallets worth of ammo anyway. Still, it's none of my damn business how much you have.
You're the worst if you are like the dirty 22lr hoarders who have plenty to ride out the panic, yet raid stores every damn day so normal shooters can't find anything. You aren't even paying "smart" stocking prices yet keep buying places out like clockwork.

The happening will never happen. Calm down and check your blood sugar, Cletus.
>>27947943
At least 12 thousand rounds of X.39 and 15 crates of X.54r(?). Yep, you're a real ammosexual OP. Kisses.
>>27949620
Kek...the fire rises before your very eyes and you still do not see. I'm normally very compassionate but people like can starve as far as I care.
>>27949656
It's just too bad it looks like it was taken with an early digital camera, the kind that still uses 3.5" floppy discs.
>>27947943
How much ammo you should have is exactly how much ammo you can afford and store.
If you have roommates / housemates / rent then a private closet or a dedicated ammo safe is about the limit.
If you own a house with a family then a dedicated ammo/armory room is about the limit.
If you own a house alone then whatever you can fit in your fortified bunker in your basement.
>>27947943
I have 1000 rounds per weapon per caliber mr frogish ATF who's reading this thread.
I might have a shitload of 22lr but there's no specific chapter in the law about how much rimmed ammo I can hoard so…
Got about 3.5k of 7.62x39, 600 of 762nato, 1000 of 45acp, 500 of .303 Brit, 700 .22lr, 100 of 9x18, 400 of 12ga, 400 of 54r.
>>27948057
More than 8gb then you are a data hoarder or really love collecting HD movies and TV shows.
nice space heater next to the ammo OP glad to see you are safety conscience
>>27951879
Kek....confirmed for never sitting in an uparmered vehicle with full ammo load out when it's 118 degrees
>>27949999
>????
Oh shit
14 crates of 7n6.
>>27952014
>Kek....confirmed for never sitting in an uparmered vehicle with full ammo load out when it's 118 degrees
Space heaters are notorious fire starters.
>>27949999
Dem quads, dat labeling doe
Don't buy ammo you can't afford.
Don't buy all the ammo in a store before anyone else just because you're scared there won't be ammo.
Otherwise, buy all you wish. Personally, I don't see the point of having more than I can carry but whatever.
I load up for the singular reason of being able to supply those around me, should such a need ever arise.
No shame in stacking up ammo.
>>27947943
>How much ammo [per caliber] is enough?
250
>How much ammo makes you a dirty hoarder?
25000
>>27949999
>????
Explain.
>>27952648
250 is way too little, unless you basically only shoot deer slayer calibers that are always in stock, or are content with only shooting a few mags, a couple times a year during a panic.
>25000
Even without 22lr, I'm well on my way to dirty your hoarder status.
>>27952971
I basically set the bar for "enough" as "enough for one range trip". You can choose your own interpretation of course.
How to store ammo?
Those cheap Plano cases look good for the money
What other containers would you recommend?
Different question:
How much handgun, rifle and shotgun ammo do you never allow yourself to fall below, and immediately buy more to shoot?
>>27953065
Airtight, as long as the rubber seal is still good. Cheap, and designed for the purpose.
>>27949999
>memeing IRL
>>27947943
is that portable heater to keep your ammo warm?
>>27951848
you do know that 8GB is less then 2 typical SD DVDs right?
>>27953558
*more then
>>27949999
Exploding aye Kay food is SP.
armor piercing 30 caliber clips is golden tiger.
????? Is
Memeing IRL is OK since it's all in my closet
I'd like triple the amount of 9mm and .223 but I'm happy with everything else.
Can anyone recommend me good .38spl plinking ammo online? I don't know which grain is best for overall shooting and fun.
>>27953704
freedom munitions .38 reloads are all good. i use 158 gr FMJ's and they are cheap. Check back if they are out of stock.
>>27953704
>storing ammo in original boxes
I literally don't understand why anyone does this. I like to min-max the fuck out of my ammo - rifle food goes on clips stacked in the most efficient possible way in the boxes, and pistol food goes in Tula boxes because they waste basically no space with excess packaging, unlike a lot of other brands.
>>27953770
>buys aluminum ammo
>>27954136
It's light man.
>ounces are pounds, pounds are pain
>>27953770
For me its cause it reminds me of a video game, seeing all box's instead of an ugly green can.
>>27954200
Sorry, didnt realize you were autistic. Carry on.
>>27953770
I keep them in the boxes because I have lots of different brands in the same caliber. You're right though, I should pour all the Perfecta into one box. It's just taking up dead space and that's my "go-to" .223.
>>27953713
No reloads please. I was thinking of getting 1,000 rounds of ppu from SGammo.
Does bullet grain matter in .38spl out of a 4 inch barrel?
>>27947943
Looks like OP could use more ammo, the shelving isn't bowed yet.
>>27954285
>I should pour all the Perfecta into one box
Naw then it will waste even more space, loose ammo is terribly inefficient.
>>27953704
Perfecta? Kek, have fun with your filthy ammo, pleb.
>>27947943
only .22 makes you a dirty hoarder, specificly if you buy them at the store before I get there.
>>27951848
>8gb
Is it 1998 again?
>>27954407
You find brass cased for 29 cents a round bro. Anyways I don't give a shit my AR's like getting dirty.
>>27953770
>I literally don't understand why anyone does this.
I like knowing which brands I use.
>>27947943
>How much ammo [per caliber] is enough?
It honestly depends on how much you shoot. If you shoot 300 rounds a month in one caliber, you will need at least ten times that much to last through a panic that can last a year, where ammo becomes scarce and you buy when you can.
So generally speaking, it's a rule of ten with the number based on how much you use in a month. If you shoot 20 rounds a month, a stockpile of 200 is not all that weird. You shoot 200 rounds a month, a stockpile of 2000 is not weird. So if you have five semiautos with different calibers, it's not really weird to have a stock of 10k rounds if you shoot a lot every month. If you also own a shotgun and shoot 50 shells a month, 500 stockpile. Shoot 25 hunting rifle rounds a month? 250 stockpile. Super competitor that goes 1000 rounds of 9mm a month? You know where this is going. This is provided that you have the room and budget to do so.
This only applies for common ammo.If the ammunition is becoming rare or rare, there is no real "limit" for you.
Hoarding is only hoarding when getting ammo starts ruining your life or it makes shit dangerous for people around you or if you just stock up on shit with no intention of becoming a seller in the future that doesn't have exorbitant prices.
>>27947943
Depends, what you mean. If I come across a price I like for a round I know and love. I will buy it all. Regardless of volume. If not I'll buy enough to go to the range when I plan to at the price it is.

You would not survive a protracted firefight.
>>27947943
Down to my last 100rounds of 9mm and then i got maybe 1000rounds of .22lr
buying ~1500rounds of 9mm on pay day
>>27955006
What types of rounds do you work with for 9mm?
>>27951848
5.6 terabytes if you're Jared & love cheese pizza
>>27955043
Seriously 5 terabytes? Holy shit how did he not expect to get caught
>>27955022
Probably buying Limit-z 139 grs pack of 1000 for 215$ and the rest will be something else

>The happening will never happen. Calm down and check your blood sugar, Cletus.
And how is that relevant? Ammo pretty much lasts indefinitely and it only increases in price.
>>27949901
Le quota de 1000 munitions est réinitialisé à la date anniversaire de l'autorisation ou au 1er janvier?
>>27948057
I try to keep my orchids down to a minimum, last year the national orchid company showed up and told me I would have problems if I grew any more orchids.
>>27947943
The store
>>27954355
What?
>>27947943
just shoot 80% of what you buy in a month and the rest stash away.
