Rounds on hand? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

-CH- · 05-01-2008, 01:00 AM

I was having a discussion with a friend today and we were talking about how ammo has gone up in the last year or so, he pulled out his phone and did a few calculations as to how much would have been saved by buying xx rounds xx months ago -

So, how many rounds do YOU(generally) keep on hand per caliber?

BOSS302 · 05-01-2008, 01:09 AM

here is the current stock pile...

3600 9mm FMJ - 115gr and 124gr WWB and Blazer Brass
500 9mm JHP - 124gr Gold Dot +p and 124gr HST
4000 .45 ACP FMJ - 230gr WWB and Blazer Brass
1000 .45 ACP JHP - 230gr Gold Dot, HST, Bonded, DPX
10K 5.56 FMJ - 55gr and 62gr Federal LC
5K .223 FMJ - 55gr Wolf Mil Classic and Pvri Patrisan

Tough question to answer.

As far as pistol calibers, I think I would only need 1k or so. I doubt things are going my way if I have to burn through 1k in the pistol when I have an AK and an AR sitting right next to me.

As far as rifles go I would like to have 3k-5k rounds in stock at all times. Unfortunately, I don't really have the cash to stock that much at this point in time but it is my goal.

170 .357 Sig
220 .40 S&W

Now I need to start buying .45 ACP as well.

Joeywhat · 05-01-2008, 05:05 AM

If ammo prices keep increasing I'll probably buy a good 10,000 rounds of .22 LR. Otherwise I just buy a box of 500 and it should last me a month or so.

**mhillsing23** · 05-01-2008, 05:26 AM

I have about 1.9K rounds of 9mm, and about 5k rounds of .22LR on hand.

tomfoolery · 05-01-2008, 05:33 AM

i have about 2,000 .45acp

500 12gau.

2,000 .22lr

and enough brass, bullets, powder to load 2,000 9mm (waiting on dies

)

Add 300 rd'ds of .223 I just got from Wally's(not pictured) also realized I need more 12ga.

oldfart · 05-01-2008, 09:09 AM

I make it a practice that just about every time we visit Wally World I go back and buy at least a box of 9mm for a couple of reasons. Figure a min amount to have around is 1000.

It ain't getting any cheaper
Buying at the range is giving up your first born
If the SHTF it will be more valuable than money - in fact it will be money.
If the left gets their way ammo will be restricted & more expensive.
