1 Box of .410 #6shot and a box of really old .45ACP

2 or 3 boxes of .30-30
1 box of .35 Rem

I was buying ammo to shoot a friend's rifles to see which cal I preferred, with the intention of buying one of my own.

Never went. Didn't buy either rifle. Still got the ammo.

And I thought I was the only one. LMAO

Lets see I have..

2 boxes .243
1 .35 Rem
1 .270
1 30-06
some 16ga (#4 buck)
12 3"mags I only have 1 12gaw/ a 23/4" chamber
I have assorted singles of all kinds of handgun ammo and only one handgun. Go figure. I figure I'll have most all of thos guages/calibers sometime and if TSHTF I can trade a box of ammo for whatever down the road. Ammo is universal and good to have.

EDIT I have some old 20guage stuff too. But my mom has one of those. I also have 2 boxes of .22WRF (the grand daddy of the .22WMR) I fire them in my 25MN.

Couple of boxes of 6.5x55 for the Norwegian Krag I traded.  Otherwise its the standard gouple of coffee cans with stuff that has floated in over the years.  My Dad was a Cop and as people found stuff cleaning house he'ld get it.  Which is how I got the Krag.

I'm sure I can round up a box of .45 ACP. Sold the pistol a few months ago. But keeping the ammo/brass/stuff for the next one.

1 box of .357 Reminton Maximum.

A few singles with the "strangest" being a single .38-70 Winchester. Come to think of it, I've got a .338-378 KT floating around here somewhere.

I have about 5000 once fired 9mm para brass. (shit was given to me) Being a .45 freak I have never had any use for it. I recently crossed the line and  purchased a Makarov. I have read that this brass can be trimmed, bell the shit out of the mouth (mak bullet is about .010 bigger than standard 9mm), and used for the 9mm makarov round. I may hang onto it for a bit, in case the supply of ammo from Russia dries up.

Yep...I've got 100 rounds of 7.62X39 ammo.  Figure that AKs and SKSs are so common that it might be useful if the SHTF.

Sure I've got a couple .22s. I just don't have anything specifically chambered for .22 short.


Let's not even start on grips and holsters.

I blew up my Taaurus .45 something, and now I have 5000 rounds of .45ACP and no .45 guns left. If you have not geussed, I treat my guns pretty hard, I managed to destroy a bolt action bull barrelled .22lr, by overheating.

I own dies for, and reload four calibers that I don't have guns for, and reload five calibers I don't even have dies for.
