How much ammo should you have?

[socal-shooter]

Op started this thread so he could brag about how much ammo he has

Why would somebody with that amount even ask the question

Dillon XL-650

yeah that is a on demand ammo machine, love mine

[rg1]

Looks like a good inventory but I'd up the supply of .223 and 7.62x39. Here's a pic of my reloading storage facility:

I saw this on another topic about "how much is enough" and thought it was hilarious but everybody's dream supply. Thanks to the original poster of the warehouse pic.

Isn't there a restriction based on the size of your storage/dwelling area? I want to say that it is a fire code issue, but I am not certain.

Didn't seem to be a lot of ammo to me.

On components, yes. Generally 20 [pounds of powder max and 10k primers.
but i am unaware of any restrictions on finished product.

Isn't that a pic from the end of Raiders of the lost ark? When they put the ark of the covenant in storage so massive it cannot be found?

[SonofWWIIDI]

It is from raiders:

And is that bo-ba fett at 5-6 seconds in?

Okay, somebody fished me. The actual clip is this one.

A red flag is raised in my head when i can start to see the bottom of my ammo cans. Then I make more and I'm fine.

Dillon XL-650

My XL-650 sits idle and sad, waiting for components to become available. Pretty much got all the .45ACP loaded that I have bullets for. Having a reloading machine without a key component is just as bad as not having any ammo. My son decided he really likes shooting the 1911 right around February 2013. Bad timing.......

But just think of the glory days ahead, when the next administration (or the one after that) decides no one will ever need all that ammo that DHS is procuring and ends up dumping it on the surplus market..... If you're gonna dream, dream big!

99k more til serenity

50k minimum. 75k comfortable. 100k, serenity.
Just reload to par as you go.

Man, I don't think i've ever seen 100k of anything. Just down to 1000 9mm reloads and 250 9mm factory. I cooled down with the reloads since I gave up looking for decently priced components and saving up for a .45 ACP pistol.

I'll probably start components again since stuff seems to be trickling back. I'll be comfortable with 2500 9mm reloads, 500 357 reloads, and 500 .45 ACP reloads. I shoot 9mm the most.

If you have more than your buddy then you have enough.

[RANCID 518th]

ALOT.

You may want to share with friends.

[BigBronco]

If you have to ask, then you don't have enough.

Wait is there enough?

HUH? Components are easily had now. I have several reloading stores near me stocked with power, primers, bullets, etc.
