Impending Doom and Imminent Ban....

[BallisticBiker]

Given today's ammo & magazine climate... How much and how many is/are enough?

I would do a poll, but I truly have no idea of where to begin! I realize that mags are basically disposable and ammo is dependent on how often you shoot...but when facing a ban and a (rumored) potentially ridiculous tax, where does one draw the line?

Depends, what kinda line we talking about here?

My ex father in law shoots one deer a year.
He has killed 19 deer in 19 years. One bullet to go in that box of 20, 30-30.
I don't figure he will need more than one more box.
That's enough for him.

I'm talkin' personal stash... What is your comfort zone for "general" preparedness?

Not one-man-war-machine level or once a year hunter, but willing to fight for God & Country.

And let's not dismiss the zombies....

You know...enough to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.

I would like to have at least 2000 rounds of each kind of ammo at all times. Most of the time I end up shooting it and fall short of the goal.

I'm 62 years old and could never buy another round and I promise, I'll never run out. I'd hate to see a ban for the sake of the young members, but it sure don't scare me one bit.

100 rounds per range visit per month x 12 months = 1200 per year per gun
how many calibers do you have.
I try to keep a 3-4 year stock in each caliber to avoid problems like we are currently experiencing.
this way I can continue shooting, then restock when prices stabilize.
Also I always buy $20 worth of ammo of some sort every time I go in a walmart.

So if someone has around 100 guns they would need 120k rds? Edit times that by 3 to 4 years. Thats a lot of dough to dish out.
