Ammo stockpile...?

Now there's an idea.

Ill send her a pic.

Now how the hell do you get away with that in California?

If Sen. Dianne Feinstein saw that, I think she'd have a coronary!

...wait, I have an idea!

Nice stockpile. I'm very jealous!

I also recently bought another 5 cases of this.
But the wooden boxes too up too much space so I pulled it from the boxes and stacked this stuff in my ammo safe.

Ammo as a barter only works with people who are like minded..and if SHTF .22 is not really a currency it is a penny. .223/556/.308 maybe, but only with another shooter. Trading ammo with a non shooter for provisions is like trading a stamp collection to an online email ISP.
 
Showing ones hand in a game of chance is not prudent,to those who are out there

What you own and what you have is for you to know.

BUG OUT and fast easy carry with the most fire power for all is the key. Its no good it if it is not where it is required for use. Train and arm the family accordingly. Transportation, Food, Fuel, Ammo etc.. One must set a Priority of need and act upon it.
 
10,000 round limit? There's a limit on how much ammo you can have?!?! [hmmm]

Yes.

I can understand going high on rifle ammo, but how many pistol fights could you realistically get into and survive to need more than say a few hundred rounds?

“But How Much Ammo Do I Need Anyway? You need exactly one case more than you currently have.” - Greg Perry

I would buy another case of pistol ammo, NEJ. Just because. [smile]
