    How Many Rounds Before My Floor Breaks?



    Seven drawers full of mini mags and a couple boxes on top and the subfloor snapped.
    Post your guess as to the number of rounds to the nearest box and I'll post who came closest.
    Subfloor was 0.702 thick but as you can see the drawer only had 4 small contact points.

    And I thought .22 were not supposed to be expensive.

      Yes it wasn't the pounds but the PSI that did it

        Weight on the floor is why I moved my ammo out of the house to an outbuilding on a slab.
        Just taking up space in (what is no longer) the second-worst small town in California.

          Empty drawers, lay 2X4 perpendicular to the floor.
          Reload, good for a few thousand more rounds!

              Subfloor looks like pressed board

                    I have a steel structure in a brick home (mid-'50's, custom construction), and I have easily 3x that much ammo in my home office. That's a pretty flimsy floor, seeing as how that's easily less than 20k rounds.

                      Can I have those four boxes of Mini-Mags laying on the floor before they fall through?
                      That scant 3/4" flooring material does look to be particle board, a non-structural underlayment product which is NORMALLY sheathed over a structural T&G subfloor plywood or OSB but NEVER supposed to stand alone.

                        The floor was indeed particle board and has been upgraded.
                        So far all the guesses are what is on top of the drawer but all seven drawers where full as well.
                        There where five 3250 packs of federal on top as well

                          40,000

                          If drawers also are full, I would guess 40,000. (300lb of .22 Lr ammo)

                          I can help reduce the weight.

                            Hopefully, you have a accurate count.

                              I like seeing photos of lots of .22. I have more .22 than anything else currently, but I was limited by the cost of my ammo.

                              This is my last inventory after having shot about half of what I had to start with at the beginning of 2019. This was taken after Olympic Trials at the end of last year.

                              I haven't shot much .22 since retiring from international competition.

                              Only 21,024 rounds. Mix of my training and match ammo.
