.308 Aussie surplus - can't resist a good price

9mm - WWB, CCI blazer

.22LR - always a few bricks on hand

.223 -Varmints must die

20 guage - Clay pidgeons must die

.17HMR - More Varmints must die

What? You mean that small stack of ammo I was checking out? Nah, too little to bother with.

.22LR, 9mm, .40mm, .45ACP, .223, 7.62x39, .308 surplus, .308 BHBT for long range dial-up....

But in all truth, probably 22lr. When $8 gets you 500 rounds, its easy to get into the thousands without even thinking about it.

[#26]

Only calibers I "stock up" on are .223, 30-06 and .45

After all, if aliens attack, I'll grab the AR and a 1911, and issue garands and 1911s to my neighbors.

[#28]

7.62 x 51 ..Aussie,Portugese CETME, M1A ( and Indian .308 for my Ishapore & crappy shooting FNFAL )
7.62 x 39 ..Wolf for SKS and AK
5.56 ..IMI and Winchester for AR & Mini
9MM ..all flavors "white box" type specials mostly
7.62 X25.. Romanian for my CZ-52's
7.62 x 54 Albanian ..for my M-39, Commie mosins and SVT
.303 British PMP ...for SMLEs
12 gauge ...Wolf or PMC slugs & buck for Zombie duty
.22 ammo by the brick everytime I go to Meijer for "groceries"
8mm Turk ..for my Yugo 48s
8mm Romanian ..for the Hakim
7.5 MAS by FNM for m49/56 and M36

Oh, and I scarf up every reloadable empty casing I find, as well as lead that I can melt down for home casting & reloading. I have reloading tools for ALL my guns but only reload for the hard-to- find or expensive rounds like the .303, 30-'06 ,30-30 and and 7.5 Swiss

Ya got any ammo you want to get rid of ?

Well 3 ain't enough...

9x17 (.380acp),
9x19 ( 9mm Para ),
.45acp,
5.56

Because I have to feed my stamp collection.

Posted: 1/8/2005 12:05:13 PM EDT

[#34]

Excluding .22lr (always keep several bulk packs around).

7.62x39 3 SKS's to feed
5.45x39 Romanian AK's need love'n too...
7.62x25 ....as do Bohemian hand howitzers (Cz52)

12gauge in 4rth place, no real need to stock up excessively, every gunstore, -Mart & general country store has some available. Enuff kept on hand to deal (short term) with zombie or deadite attacks.
Same for .38Special/.357 Mag, easy to find so I buy as needed (I always keep several boxes in reserve anyways so I'm never low).

Posted: 1/8/2005 12:10:48 PM EDT

[#35]

.22lr (all Winchester Super-X)
.40 S&W
12 gauge (Federal size 6 lead shot normally, with a few boxes each of size 2 steel shot and some 00 buck shot.)

[#36]

5.56
7.62x39
12 Gauge .00 buck

and now

.458 SOCOM (in casin' I get jumped by a herd a buffalos!)

Posted: 1/8/2005 12:12:06 PM EDT

[#37]

The three I have the most of:

5.56
7.62x39
30.06

I also have a fairly large amount of :

8mm
7.62x54R
7mm
12 guage
.22

Posted: 1/8/2005 12:12:57 PM EDT

[#38]

1) 5.56mm NATO
2) 7.62mm NATO
3) Tie between 7.62X39 and 9MM

Posted: 1/8/2005 12:14:44 PM EDT

SHTF ammo that gets 'stockpiled'

5.56x45 Lake City XM193 Mil-Spec 55gr FMJ
5.45x39 Barnaul 60gr FMJ
7.62x39 Uly Mil-Spec 124gr FMJ

of course, there is always much smaller supplies of the following:

5.56x45 69, 75, 77gr BTHP for the SPR
.308 168gr Federal Match / Hornady TAP for the Remington 700
.45ACP 230gr FMJ, Hydroshocks, and Speer Gold Dot
.22LR Match
.22Mag

This is EXACTLY what I tried to prevent from happening, too many calibers of ammo.
