I've been going to the range lately and dusting off the old .22lr's. Most of my range sessions in the past have been with 9mm, 45 ACP and of course center fire rifle rounds.
How many rounds of .22LR do you guys normally keep on hand? Do you tend to neglect your .22 pistols and rifles or do you put them in the rotation as your larger caliber firearms. |

Hell, IDK. Maybe 3-4k? I haven't inventoried in years. Decades even.

At one point around the time I bought my first 22 can I went from roughly 5k up to 30k.
I haven’t been restocking as I should and I’m probably around 15k now. Glock 44 goes every week for at least 100 rounds 15-22 sbr suppressed every other time for at least 100 rounds. Sometimes all i take is .22 and I’ll burn through a brick |

Another data mining thread.
How original, unique, and creative. . |

10x 50 cal cans of bulk stuff.
Just over 10k of CCI Standard 5k CCI Quiet. Other random boxes of whatever was on sale. Eta- inherited quite a bit from grandpa |

So many, that I don’t know where they are and I didn’t manage to put a dent during the panic. I still have 15 or 20 $8.95 550 cartons of Rem GB and Fed. I should have sold the Rem, at a 400% markup, but I was lazy I guess. In six months or so, I’ll buy a pallet, when deflation finally hits.

How would you know..
Do you actually count yours? That seems… tedious. |
|
3 or 4 bricks worth.
Not sure of the amount I put into a .30 Cal ammo can. |

View Quote Before the fire? 35-40k. After the insurance check, maybe a bit more? It got pretty waterlogged, but I suspect most will shoot fine even if the boxes got moldy AF. |

I’m not sure, but looking things over last time I found some old Winchester Wildcat from years ago the was marked $4.99 a brick of 500.

Too much as I never shoot it. However have lots of sub-sonic since getting the 22 can.
Attached File It's so nice fun though. I'll take it out next trip |
|
I think the last time I counted 7k, I was working towards 10k, but got lazy. I really need to start buying again.
|
|
Probably only 5k now. I had a bunch before Sandyhook but sold most of it during the panic. Just never replaced it after.
|
|
Enough to outlive me in all likelihood. A few years ago when it was dirt cheap the UPS guy was hating me
|
|
Perhaps 8-10k. I've had it for years. Rarely shoot the 22s anymore. Been thinking about selling the guns and ammo.

I've asked this before and I was told the following:
22LR is not counted, it is weighed. View Quote Eta: someone said it above. Lol With that said, more than an eastern European swallow, less than a nash rambler. |
|
Too lazy to go count but a shit load of standard velocity higher end ammo. Not much chance of ever running out.

I think 15k but I am notorious for misplacing ammo of a given caliber once I get over 5k rounds of that caliber. My wife asked me the other day if I was going to get the ammo off of her garden bench. I didn't know I had any there so walked out and sure enough there was 3k.556 and 2k 9mm that I must have set there at some point and forgot about.
