How long before i can sell a preban for 5k? Asking for a friend...
figure at least 1k rounds for everything?How much do you guys stock up until you say, "that's enough" to last you through panic season. I'm comfortable with everything but my .223 which is at about 80 left (haven't used that in months tho)
Now for SHTF ? depends on the level of logistics. Leaving home? Hoe much can you carry TOTAL. what about water? Food. Do you think you have a good network of friends that can pull their shit together? Do you really think you can get in your car and head for the hills "when" TSHTF?

Nothing should ever be done due to panic anything, if it is you’ve been doing it wrong all along.
I’ll also never understand people’s need to list online, much more-so these days, about all of their stock or supplies.
You inevitably get several posters trying to outdo each other with their entire list, still thinking it’s funny or that it moves them up the cool guy list of a forum by stating how much ammo they’re stocking or whatever.
Especially these days, the only thing you’re actually accomplishing is being moved to the top of the list for the Feds to start digging into you to see if you’re nuts or not, and if they decide you are, good luck to you.
POTUS said it this morning, the internet will be f***ing scoured looking for flags of anything that seem not right (to them).
The days of internet Wild West are long gone, now it’s internet hugely invasive investigative tool and the major suspects are legal gun owners as far as any of them are concerned.
Loose lips sink ships MF’s. Just my .02, all the online tough guys always posting threatening messages if anyone comes for their guns and Molon Labe and all that BS, stupid, immature and shows a complete lack of situational awareness for society today. You may as well just call and turn yourself in for being a future threat because that’s what they’ll see all day long.
Shitty? Of course it is, but it’s an unfortunate reality right now.
This! I also started reloading around that same time. I had plenty of powders that I bought leading up to when I started but never got around to buying primers. Definitely overpaid for primers at the time.3 years or more of reloading components for stuff I shoot makes me feel comfortable. I started reloading during the 2013? drought and remember how painful that was.
Triple, now you tell me, I could've stopped years ago.Now if your talking to have enough ammo for range fun with a hording epidemic going on .... take what you know you shoot per year now , double it and then a triple amount to be sure.
I've got some much damn 22 (bought in 2011ish) that I doubt I'll ever shoot in my lifetime. I just don't shoot it very often but know I should hold onto it for the time being.I still have not shot most of what I bought during the 2008 panic buy. Although I do get worried about 22.... I am down to 20k rounds or so.
My rule is to have 1000 rounds per firearm for the usual suspects, and 5000 for my EDC and go-to main rifles.
Not 1000 per caliber.
Current or over on everything but .50, and still stocking ahead...
