Picked up a 720 rnd case of the Hirtenberg 7.62x51. The wooden crate was in such nice shape that I didnt want to open it so I bought a 360 battle pack to try out.

Dunno if I qualify, only shoot pistol and burn through the stacks like a forestfire...
.45acp 1.600 rounds 38sp 18.000 rounds (+10.000 mixed brand rounds) 357Mag 800 rounds 9mm Luger 360.000 rounds (probably more) I keep loosing .45acp brass and cannot find any on the second hand market here, the dealers do not have any new brass either in 45acp... Will complete with pictures asap btw, really nice ammo-cans most u mates have. I just put double plastic zip bags and stack them in empty oil-drums/barrels and seal up when i hit 250kg on the scale. (worry the bottom cartridges will be deformed from to much weight. Do you think it would be safe to fill them completely full?) |

Zhukov is spot on with his analysis. I will not bust open any of my ammo cans that contain 5,500 rounds of .22lr ammo once they're closed up/marked and only use ammo from the cans that are marked for plinking, I have yet to bust open any of my cases of ammo that are unopened as they make a nice mural stacked up along the wall.

Hey I've got a growing stock of ammo. Mostly
of the big five 556, 308, 9mm, 45 and 22. Anyway here's the pic of how I got it currently orginanized. I have several ammo cans from when I was in the army. They would hold more and be easier to move if you had too. Well here's the but, how do you organize the different manufacture's and so on with ammo cans?

It's a range day today, and if UPS doesn't let me down with the restock today or tomorrow, I'll break the 6-digit barrier for centerfire ammo for the first time in my stash at home. This is a big day in the life of TAP...
I use the "buy 1 box for the stash for every box you shoot" method and it has worked really well. I get range time and training, plus build up a respectable stash for rainy days over time. |

I've been been a "hoard-piler" for a long time, going bacl to the 70s. Not as crazy (sane) as other here, but I'll play a little..
35k .22lr. Mostly all high end stuff. Mini mags, Stingers, Velocitors, Yellow Jackets, etc. I used to have 66-ish k, but sold a lot to friends and family last yr. Some goes back to the late 70s early 80s. 5.56..a good bit. I've sorta lost count. All good brass stuff. A lot of that is old PMC M193, Squires Bingham, Eagle, etc. Then of course the newer 62gr stuff. 3+ k 7.62x51 Mostly ball (but 1k is commercial hunting rounds) 3+ k 7.62x39 ball 2+ k ea. of .9mm, .45acp. almost all high end +P,+P+ stuff. Plus Black Talons, old Silver Tips, etc. Plus some other stuff. Some better pricing then what we see today.. 
The L and M designate the dia of the round. .224, .223, etc. 
Another less common 22lr round. The bullet will split off into 3 projectiles on impact. 
some of the .44 mag. Note all the 1980s dates. That old now-disc Norma stuff is hot stuff. Rated at 1575fps from a 6" barrel.

Reason I've lost count of the 5.56.. I've been stockpiling it since the late 70s and been somewhat lazy the last 10yrs in keeping a running number in my head. I have about 2k at a relatives place...some out in the garage..some in the gun safe..some at another relatives place...and some hidden throughout the house. With a lot of that mixed in with other calibers. This is so if I ever get robbed(or confiscated, cause ya never know in the future)..hopefully they won't get 'all'(or even a good portion) of any one caliper. Hopefully I won't ever have to find out if this strategy will help or not. I'm thinking just over 5 degits in count tho. ..give or take lol. |

Yes, they should have been the same, I did not post actual data, things were changed, items had '1' inserted as to not have 'div by 0' errors......
