Title: How much ammo do you have?
Post by: rempumpman on July 09, 2011, 11:51:23 AM
All of us loves to own a few shotguns but to be honest, a gun without ammo is just another billy club; I am now focused on buying more shells/ammo than ever before;

What's your inventory?

Not nearly enough. About 2,000 rounds of factory ammo and components for about that much.

I'm in the way to much category too I guess. I usually only stock pile pistol and rifle ammo. Probably a couple thousand rounds of each. Though I do have about three years worth of turkey loads.

I'm guessing about 400-500 shotgun shells of various types, plus 150-200 centerfire cartridges, plus some crazy amount of 22LR rounds...too many to count.

Not nearly enough. Probably 300-400 rounds of shotgun shells and a couple hundred centerfire.  In addition, about 500 rounds 22LR.

Good question:

I have enough 10 Gauge ammo to last me 20 more years of turkey hunting , and that's with shooting a good number of turkeys each year , now its not a whole lot of ammo , I am conservative with the ammo and the patterning - If a competent turkey hunter has his gun sighted in , and has a box of 10 turkey shells then that is 10 dead turkeys in my book- again , I am extra stingy , not all people are like me

All my ammo is saved in case of a political upheaval and not a fear of a change in industry adjustments -you wont hear me crying like girl or blaming someone else that there is no more good turkey ammo left , cause I shot it all up or dint buy a box or 2 -And  if I ever did kill off all my ammo , I could get by with whatever is available ,

if it comes down to it and all guns were banned someday , you would see a blowgun and tomahawk sections added to the OG forum

Not nearly enough, but my wife would tend to disagree.

I've got probably 20 boxes of assorted shotgun loads to hunt Quail up to Geese. I'm sitten good, but if I started to Duck/Goose hunt again I'd have to load the shell box up again. You can go thru a lot of shells hunting those guys.

I was turkey hunting on a large rancher in South Dakota once and asked how many acres he owned, his answer to me is my same answer to you.

Enough....  :cowboy:
