I have .32ACP and .357 Mag and 4.6x28mm ammo and no pistols in those caliber, I have 7.62x39mm and .338Lapua Magnum and .50 BMG ammo and no rifles in those calibers, reloading dies in .243 and .260 and no rifles in those calibers...

Yes. I always buy ammo for guns I don't own. Then I have to buy the gun else the ammo would have been a waste of money! Its tradition between myself and several friends.

Funny. I have rifles with no ammo for them and ammo that doesn't go with a damn thing. ETA: deh grammur id hurdz te spullz |
|
|
Someone gave me a box of 223 WSSM. What am I supposed to do with that?
|
|
I have some hot-ass Israeli 9mm ammo I'm afraid to run through my Beretta because it's one of the old 92F models and already has around 10,000 rounds through it.
|
|
Ive got some .380 that I no longer have a gun for, might need to buy another one just because of this.
|
|
I might still have some rounds of 400 Cor-Bon lying around here and there - but I no longer have my 1911 conversion kit. |
|
yeah but i always keep it around cuz i always buy new guns and so do my friends so i usally have a few rounds of whatever caliber so i can try out their new purchase
only stuff i have right now is some 45 colt and a box of 25acp |
|
|
I sold my .300 Weatherby Mag a few years ago and I still have about 16 rounds of ammo for it
and I still have a box with about 20 different calibers of rounds I dont have rifles for anymore |
|
You can send your 7.62x39 to me so you don't go out and buy one it actually would be a good investment.
|
|
put it on the EE im sure someone will want it. |
|
|
I have about 500 rounds of .38sp for a gun that some jerkoff stole from me, a handful of 7.62x39 for an SKS I sold a couple weeks ago, I guess that's about it.
I'm picking up a .38sp derringer in a couple of weeks though, so those 500 rounds should see service anyway. I wonder what my hand is gonna look like after firing 500 rounds of .38 through a derringer. |
|
If you have ammo, and I most certainly do not, that says "LEO ONLY" on the box... can you sell it to someone else without ending up in prison? Again, and I stress AGAIN, I most certainly do NOT have anything of the sort... but if one of you guys did, what would you do with it?

Got some 38 special and 22 MAG that my father in law gave my wife... He's a former cop and got rid of most of his gun collection (none to us ) but gave my wife a can full of misc ammo. Most we could use...some we can't.
I've never bought ammo that I didn't have a gun for. No Expert |
|
No loaded ammo, but I have reloading components and dies for a lot calibers that I don't own a firearm in.
|
|
No but I do have 6 different sets of mags for guns I currently have not purchased
it's the kool-aid I tell ya |
|
Case and a half of 7.62x39 with a large quantity of mags to go with it.
Used to have an AK and then got rid of it. One day I will own another trunk gun like the old AK. |
|
I have a case of 30-06 that I have weapon for ... at the moment
|
|
Was accidentally sent a couple of boxes of .257 Roberts from Sportsman's Guide a few years back.
Now, I just have to find a left-handed, bolt-action rifle that chambers it. |
|
Got a box of random ammo that my grandfather had laying aruond before he died. .30-06, .30-30, .45 LC all kinds of stuff, none of which i have anything to shoot with.
|
|
I have a dozen or so rounds of .50BMG, a couple of boxes of 7mm Rem Mag, a few rounds of 8mm with no guns to match.
I also have a Remington 700 in .222 Magnum that I pretty much can't buy ammo for. I'll either have to order it from a custom ammo place or get into hand loading. Maybe one of these days.... |
|
Some .400 Cor-Bon I bought when I was convinced I needed a .400 Cor-Bon. For better or worse, that's as far as the project got.
I'm more fond of buying magazines for weapons I don't own (yet). |
|
Any of the .303 yall have laying around and not needing I will be happy to purchase from you..
|
|
I'm the opposite:
I have a PS90 but no mags or ammo. The other guys have a buttload of 5.7x28 ammo and a large supply of mags, but no PS90. |
|
I have several boxes of .25acp that I bought to have on hand,one buddy has one of the pot metal wonders that we shoot from time to time,( his actually works fine) another friend has a baby browning that for some reason he won't shoot. This gun is a hand down from his grandfather so he won't sell it,but it's not like it's unfired. Some day I will see one when I have some spare cash.
I have 4 or 5 hundred rounds of surplus .308 and piles of reloading components (bought the ammo ,cleaned out several old reloading benches) I used to have a crummy Indian made enfield SMLE in .308 but I traded it off. Some day I will have a decent bolt gun (savage?) or a ar10 type . Couple of other odd boxes of stuff I have bought to shoot in friends guns such as 7.62X54 . As I mentioned I have cleaned out a couple of old reloading benches and have all sorts of oddball stuff that I paid nothing for. I belong to a large club with lots of old guys, (good part) From time to time when one of the old gents passes away I have helped family clean out the old stuff, (kind of bittersweet,bad to see these guys pass on but I get all kinds of stuff for dirt cheep or free). I get a kick in finding someone who can use some of this oddball components as upposed to tossing it in a dumpster . |

I usually buy magazines for guns I don't own first (I can't pass up a great mag price deal) then I pick-up some ammo from a Century monthly special. Eventually, I end up with a gun 'cause, what the hey, I already have the ammo & mags!
|
|
nope, too obsessive compulsive. if i've got the ammo, i'll have a gun to go with it in short order........
|
|
yeah, but not much, started a catridge collection about 10 years ago and I've since moved and it just stayed in it's moving box all these years, about 3 months ago I started shooting the stuff I had guns for but now I'm stuck with some stuff I dont have guns for. I'll give it away to someone who does eventually.
|
|
Yep, I have a case of 7.62x54 in the spam can. I hope to find a gun soon to go with it, it's going to be a trunk gun.
|
|
Heck....I have ammo AND magazines for guns I don't own, specifically Glock 21 mags.
I have 3000 rounds of 7.62x39 along with 10 magazines for a WASR-10 I don't own anymore. I plan on replacing it eventually. |
|
I have a 30mm shell for an Avenger
I have a 20mm Oerliken (sp?) shell I have several .45 ACP, .45 LC, .38 Special and .357 Magnum cartridges. One day I'll have another .45 and another .45 Colt... Now if I could find some 7mm pinfire laying around, I can shoot my 7mm LeFaucheaux at least once... |
|
I have a few boxes of 20 gauge shells that I picked up somewhere. At some point, this will force me buy a 20 gauge.
|

I've got some .44 Magnum and .270 laying around because my dad sold both guns (without letting me shoot them first), and a couple boxes of .264 Win Mag because the gun was destroyed. Strap broke while my dad was climbing out of his tree blind, it dropped thirty feet and the stock exploded into half a dozen pieces. Chamber and barrel are both warped beyond repair, only the scope is miraculously intact. The rest of the gun is only good for parts.
If I'd had more money at the gun show I'd have bought a couple rounds of .50 BMG just for kicks and grins. EDIT: Oh yeah, I've got two unfired paper 9mm rimfire shotgun shells locked up somewhere. |
|
Solution: Buy an Uzi |
|
|
A couple boxes of .223 that I bought to shoot in friends' ARs.
One .458 Win Mag that I bought for conversation, and incase I ever have to stop an elephant charge and have the rifle but no ammo. |
|
Some 5.45x39, about 250 rounds. Maybe I will buy a gun for it this weekend. For some reason, I want Thompson to make a barrel for it.
|

A lady at work bought a small dresser at a garage sale and when she got it home found a not-quite-full box of ammo behind one of the drawers.
She knows I'm a "gun guy" so she gave the ammo to me. Now I'm really trying to figure out a way to NOT buy a pistol just to shoot 38 rounds of 9x18 Makarov. It's a disease, I tell you. A disease. |
|
My #$%^&*(!!! cousin mailed me a Luger holster with a spare P.08 Luger magazine containing seven rounds of .30 Luger ammunition.
I normally don't mind getting free stuff but correcting this imbalance in the universe is going to be VERY EXPENSIVE. |
