Stockpiling Ammo

[WinterBorn]

I found this video on YouTube. Looks like solid info. I'll still keep my own stockpiles, but the idea that you need tens of thousands of rounds might be nonsense.

I recently bought a 1000 round case of 9 x 19mm.

I also have a spam can of x39mm that's lasted awhile.

I can burn thru some ammo when I am at the range often. But I wouldn't be doing that in a SHTF scenario.

And I really like the video shooting down the "Ammo as Barter" part. That never made sense to me.

Naturally renewable arrows? This guy's out of his ever-lovin' mind!
I ruined an arrow and almost cried! Yeah, I shot my steel spinner target with it. In hindsight, that was a very stupid idea. It was a target tip and it crushed the shaft right behind it.

Yeah, the 9mm will likely be gone in a while, the 75B and 92S always end up going to the range.

And I'm thinking of getting another spam can for the AK and SKS and locking that away for an emergency.

I've reloaded two spectrums of general ammo for years. One spectrum is for plinking and maintaining skill and weapon familiarity, the other is for fine tuning custom and wildcat rounds for hunting and special purposes. In a real life SHTF or disaster/survival situation my primary objective is to possess enough ammo to acquire more ammunition, if that makes sense. I've got a map in my head of waypoints in specific order just to accomplish that. Factoring in competition for food, gas and other basic necessities and others in my area who might have similar plans, the number of rounds required to do that varies.

Mind my business? Hey numbnuts, I didn't tell you how much ammo to stockpile. Do what you want.

Although I seem to recall you talking about being broke, so stockpiling guns and ammo is probably beyond your means.

Kind of like every time I bend up a fishing arrowhead missing a carp and hitting a rock on the bottom . . .

I think what he meant was that most arrows can be recovered. Yeah, some will be screwed up and some lost. But hit or miss, ammo is expending, at the very least, powder & primers.

I've been thinking about getting some 9mm, but damn, if you want anything different the price more than doubles!

Look junior, if you don't like the thread don't post in it. Nobody is paying any attention to your business.

I bet he hasn't done much arrow shooting. It doesn't work like that, and arrows are expensive. I think I had it worked out to where they're around $13 apiece.

It ain't cheap. Even .22 ammo has gone way up.
