[ARCHIVED THREAD] - What are the three calibers you stock up the most on? (Page 2 of 2)

I "stock" every caliber I own.... (1000 rounds) but the only ones I "stockpile" would be 9mm and .223. Everything else is 1000 rounds.

Now that I am reloading, I will "stockpile" components and wont be so concerned about having a lot of new ammo. I just buy a lot when it goes on good sales, like the $84/k of 9mm and $144/k of Q3131A at Bass Pro from time to time. But those days might be over for a while.

Sure would like to see some of that $0.11/round South African stuff again!

5.56 - Lake City XM193
7.62 - Cheapest Crap I can find! Wolf!
.45 ACP - Wolf for now. Don't get to shoot it that much.j

I fell for the 5.56 ammo shortage scare thing. I am now the proud owner of over 10,000 rounds of the stuff. More on the way. sigh

HOLY SHIT!

I don't have 10,000 rounds of ammo total!

Why not???

I only have 2,569 rounds.

5.56 - 660
7.62x39 - 600
.22 LR - 420
.458 SOCOM - 188

My Kung Fu is weak.

However, this is all defensive ammo. With the exception of .458 SOCOM, I buy ammo at the range every time I go. I never dip into my "around the house" ammo.

.223 68gr JHP
.308 match for rem700
.40 JHP for carry gun

Once I reach 1k of .223, 200 of .308, 250 of .40, of the Nice ammo, then I'll start stockpiling the less expensive target quality stuff.

and oh yes, I have roughly 5k of .22, I'll stop when I reach 10k.

.22 LR: Keep 10,000 rounds.

.45 ACP: 1000 rounds

12-gauge with 1 1/2 oz of #2's, 3 1/2 dram, : 20 boxes.
12-gauge dove loads: 4 cases

The way I figure it, I can pound a head sized target at 50 yards easy with the .22 and is has a night scope on it. They are cheap, too. I shoot a 1000+ each year and rotate them.

The .45 is for up close personal work if needed.

The 12-guage is just plain utility stuff that will pound hard and dense out to 50 yards if I have the turkey choke on (1 1/2 foot diameter spread).

Why not???

In a single week, I just ordered:

4X1000 of Lake City XM193
7x750 of Barnaul 5.45x39 60gr FMJ
4x700 of ULY 7.62x39 124gr FMJ

Guess I the stockpiling bug in a bad way.

In our meager supply of ammunition, we have mostly .45ACP, .357 Magnum, and .30-30 Winchester.

I try to stock up on all of them, but most of my money goes towards 5.56 and 9x19

After that 7.62x51, 45 ACP, 357 Sig and 12 Gague

3x 1000 XM193
1x 1000 XM80 (7.62x51 from ammoman)

Also working on reloading 1k rounds for my PSS (308)... As soon as I get the new reloading room finished, I will get started on that.. I have all the componants collected. (2x Sierra 2200C, 8#keg IMR4064, 1k Win 308 brass, CCI BR2 primers) After trying tons of loads, I like this one the best.

.22
I burn thru at least 25 or 30 bricks of .22 a year. I will admit I am somewhat of a ammo horder. I store it in ammo cans in steelcase lockable filing cabinets I buy at auctions. 4 ammo cases to a drawer[50cal]. My wife did raise an eyeball when she found out that they were not full of old magazines as she thought. I replace what I shoot so even if prices skyrocketed or "whatever" I would have many years of shooting ahead.

7.62 NATO wshf
223 for practice and plinking
9mm for pistol rounds

Not far behind... 45, and 40 cal pistol
