I'm thinking about getting one of those jobsite boxes to put my ammo cans in. I am up to a paltry 17 cans and only 12 will fit in the cardboard box that's hiding them.

I just count full cans anymore, anything less is just plain uncivilized.

Of late, I have found myself hoarding 5.56 tracer rounds. Too easy at $7.99 per 20.
 Literally find it impossible to not stop in the local fun store and pickup a pack every time I pass the store....both ways! |

Last election all I was shooting was .22lr since it was all that I could get for MONTHS. I started setting some aside for this year's election so I can continue to visit the shooting range.

Unless something happens and you give them a reason. I just went out to wally world and picked up 600 rounds of 40. And 2 boxes of Speer gold dots in 9 and 40. |

I am on vacation in Florida and happened to be in a Walmart yesterday..we were in sporting goods picking up a few things so I decided to check out the ammo cabinet just to see if it compared to my local WM..and it pretty much did, no 9MM to be had, and I witnessed a guy come up and buy all the Federal 223 and all the Winchester 22LR.

I stop by WM a couple times a week to see if any 9mm is in. It's either 1 or 2 boxes if you lucky. 9, .40 and .45acp are never there. Only maybe a box of .357 Sig or some less common calibers.

Why do you think PSA is out of stock. ;) And my stash doesnt even hold a candle to some of the others around here I'm sure. What I learned from horders on here is, when you think you have to much ammo, double that amount and then reengage. ;) |

Wow, re-reading over this thread......folks are limited in the number of rounds they can possess? I do not think Alabama has a limit. If it does, i do not really want to know.....I think.....

I'm thinking about getting one of those jobsite boxes to put my ammo cans in. Unfortunately, it is already full, and I don't really have the floor space in the garage for another one. I have since moved toward storage options that are more vertically stackable to make better use of my floor space. |

You can never have enough ammo,
28k 22 LR 7k 223 5k 308 3k misc. rifle 6k 9mm 1k 45acp 1k misc pistol 1k 50 5k 12ga I figure I'm just getting started and consider myself very low. Goal is 50k 22, 30k 223, 20k 308, 1.5k 50, 20k 9mm, 3k 45, 10k 12ga. Maybe I'll get there some day, but when I do I'll still want more. |

Nice start
Alot better than the guys who go buy a 100-bulk pack when they want to shoot 
That said.....I'm light on what I'd like to have and I've got enough to make Eric Holder crap his pants 
Whenever I go to town (twice-three times a month?) I get 300-500 rounds of handgun ammunition, and average a 2 case order of rifle ammunition per month. Since January I'm up about 17,000 rounds of ammunition

Since the OP on 3/3/2012 ammunition in my area continues to be widely available at reasonable prices both locally and online.
Virtually limitless availability in all calibers; both self defense ammo and range crap and prices have remained stable. |

I just keep loading more and more ammo. I still have 1500 223 rds and 1300 308's to load. When that is done I will buy more brass and continue on. I'm sure when I reach my goal I will have a excuse as to why I need more. I wanted to set back a couple of cases of primers and enough powder and bullets to load it up but the more I run this plan through my head I think might as well load it now then it's done. I have talked to some guys and they far exceed what my goals were so unless you have 1 million plus rounds I don't think you can be classed as a hoarder. Just a opinion.

I have more ammo than the OP rolling around my trunk, other than.223 that is a good range trip. I am working on ammo slut status. So it requires a level of dedication. It slowed since I lost my job. I am good for a while. now to get hard on reloading

My friend came over to do laundry and cook lunch when the power was knocked out a few weeks ago. I came home and she says, "What the hell, every cabinet in the kitchen has ammo in it, I couldn't find the pots and pans!"
LOLZ!!! |

I have 650 rounds of LOADED .41 mag, and enough components for 600 more...
I think that's good for .41 mag. being an odd caliber, and I only have two revolvers chambered for it.
Looking at 7mm/TCU. I have 380 loaded, and components for 400 more! not bad for a single shot handgun...
What do you guys have for odd ass rounds?? |
