      10 rounds for each firearm is all. I hope to never have to use them, but if I do I want to make sure I am not id'd as a stock piling 2A nutjob

          Looks pretty good except the .40 and .380 but you probably won't shoot those as much.

            All your ammo will be available come Jan 1. Might cost a wee bit more. If you want to load up on ammo NOT readily available at a LGS (i.e. 6.5 Grendel, .338 Lapua), them stock up now via on-line resources.

                I shoot 5 different calibers (4 handgun, 1 rifle), I have enough primers, bullets and powder to load about 10,000 of each caliber. A little less for the rifle caliber. A little more than that for .45LC since I shoot it the most. If I started casting my own bullets, I could stretch that out a little more since I have the primers.

                I also keep about 1,000 factory ammo in each round, but I only have that because I bought it before I started reloading.

                  thats not enough for high volume use, need to double the 9mm, .45, .308 , .223

                  especially on 9mm, during the ammo shortage 9mm was scarce

                  remember vendors jacking the price up to $40 for a 50 rd box of WWB 9mm ammo

                  and the 100 rd value packs of WWB .45 ball were priced at $90 a box retail

                  to go the long haul think 20 year supply or as much as you can afford

                    Are those pistol calibers FMJ or JHP?

                    If your going to stockpile for a SHTF scenario, then you might as well get JHP. If you are stocking up against the ammo rules coming in 18, the JHP is fine. If you are stocking up for both..well...you get the idea.

                    I've got about 6000 rounds of 9, 45, 45 and 22 (as well as 16Ga shotgun) combine. Yeah, I ned more, but it is what it is....

                      My problem isn't money it's storage. And the amounts above don't include any JHP ammo. I have around 100 rounds of each pistol caliber for my carry guns. currently 9 full 50 caliber ammo cans and another 3,000 in factory boxes and cardboard shipping boxes.

                      I have been shooting less and less through the years and think that 30,000 rounds for 32 firearms is appropriate, about 1,000 rounds per firearm.

                      And then there is the reloading equipment and supplies.

                      I'd like to be able to reload at least twice expanding my capabilities to 60,000 rounds.

                      I haven't read the code, will you still be able to buy reloading supplies?
                      what should I pick up? Primers & powder? Should I buy bullets or lead and molds?

                          I think you have more than that in just 380 (and you don't even have a 380)

                            Pretty sure in SHTF scenario fmj rounds will be adequate. Who cares about over penetration without the Commie lawyers to worry about?!
