Remember, no matter how much ammo you have, you could always use more.

I have no ammo :(

I need to start buying/loading ammo again.

>MFW

>>31852079
Just every time you go to walmart, buy a box of ammo. It adds up quick.

>>31852079
i'm starting to worry about the structural integrity of my house tho

>>31853623
That's why my ammo stash is in the basement.
I doubt closer to a half ton of ammo in a small space would be healthy on any other floor.
Amazing how fast that weighs up once you start counting crates & cans.

>>31853872
i'm in a stilt house with a 10ft base flood elevation, anything on my ground floor is vulnerable and uninsurable.

buying Polycoat ammo.


Eww

>>31853542
That's a great way to end up spending way more on ammo than you have to. Just buy it by the case online.

>>31853842
Overpriced

>>31854037
It's good if you don't have the cash to buy a case online.

Remember, no matter how much ammo you have, you should always reload more and get match-grad ammunition at the cost of shitty bulk.

>1k rounds of 5.56, 750 rounds of 9mm
>just finished my AR and picked up a pistol

I'm perfectly content with what I have now. I wish I had some more ammo, but I have enough now to weather whatever panic comes my way for a few months if I ration carefully.

>>31852079

>tfw can't find mauser ammo in my local area

Help me /k/. I want to stockpile ammo at an affordable price.

I could always use more ammo. That said, I'm at the point where I have enough to fill more a couple .30 cal ammo cans for each one I have, plus 4 spam cans on top of that. Probably going to focus my funds on firearms for the next year or so.

I would rather get a few suppressors then some more ammo right now. I have been saving my brass for a few years now and I can get into reloading rather easy.

how much ammo depreciate in value over time?

Is ammo a worthwhile hedge against inflation?

>>31854434
It's a commodity now. Like gold or pork bellies. Everything connected to the shooting sports is.

>>31854314

turn that pile into 40 mags and 2,300 rounds of 5.56

>>31854314
Not bad, I remember buying my first AR and taking it home with only 40rds and a 10rd mag

Because not everyone is as austismal as us

I have 220 rounds of 5.56. That's what I can carry. Either things will go back to normal after the election or I'll use it for what our forefathers intended.

>>31854468

Aw shit man, I'm sorry. How is CA doing these days? Is it engulfed in flames or overrun with Mexicants yet?

this satisfies my autism so hard

>>31854406

I had two options:

1. put them in the cans

2. leave them in a box

Since the ammo cans are easily to carry to and from the range, I opted for the cans.

I have mine in boxes in cans

>>31854530
Put the boxes full of ammo in the can. The cardboard/packaging will absorb moisture, and you can easily grab a known quantity just by counting the boxes you pull out rather than individual rounds.

>>31854320
Mines all steel. Wish I could stock up on cheap fmj shit, but my local range only allows HP or SP rifle ammunition. The indoor ranges are even worse, and check for magnetic rounds too. Thinking about joining a gun club, but I'll have to see how the election goes. If it's really bad there won't be any point in spending a bunch on a membership when I'll be out of ammo by this time next year

ammo question. local gun store sells PMC .223 55 gr brass for $10/20 rounds how hard am I being dicked? Should I tell the owner to cut the shit?

>>31854804
Extremely. $7.49 is about the going rate for that sort of ammo at Academy and other big box sporting goods stores.

>>31854804
Yeah .50cpr for PMC .233 is insane.

>>31854804
Has that always been what they charge for it or are they raising it because of panic buying? 50cpr is bullshit for PMC, and most fmj .223 for that matter.

>>31854804
>>31854843

I went to the local pawn shop. The guy running the counter owns the same ar I bought. Sold me some tula steel for 6. Says his gun runs it well, figured I would try it until I order some brass off ammoseek next week. 80 steel rounds shouldnt cause to much trouble should it?

>>31854877
Steelcase is fine. You'd have to put so much steelcase ammo through your rifle to notice any difference between it and brasscase, you'd have saved so much money on ammo you can buy a new barrel.

>>31854877
>>31854951
Just wanted to say casings don't ruin your barrel. Unjacketed steel projectiles (tulammo) do.

Steelcased ammunition is fine for plinking and won't damage an AR. Just becareful shooting the "zinc jacketed" stuff for like 3k rounds.

>>31854990
The cheap powder in them is the biggest culprit for quicker wear according to the luckygunner test on this, which I'd urge everyone to look up. But yeah when I buy steelcase, which is most of my ammo, I buy Wolf over Tula. That copper wash over the bullet supposedly prevents that, although I'm not sure how much of that is Fuddlore.

>>31854877
If you're just shooting steel case, at least in my experience, it takes until the 200th round where cases will stick and the gun becomes unusable

>>31853872
Wait till the great flood of 2017.

>1400 rds of .223/5.56

>>31856862
That too. There is literally no way that the government doesn't already know you own SOME kind of gun/guns and ammo. Its only what you have and how much of it.

I really want to get some IMI M855 but it's apparently sold out everywhere.

Next best choice? Lake City?

>>31857241
Lake City would be your next best bet. PMC X-TAC is also similar.

Cabela's does have IMI M855 in stock still. $7.99/box.

The only saving grace is that many people own guns. Just like how so many people download games and movies that the government doesn't persecute every downloader.

Anyways, they will probably siege homes one by one until they get it or die trying.

>>31854530
When I get expensive soft point new production cartridges of x54r and 303 with inserts to keep the cartridges aligned, I save the boxes and then put surplus ammo in them.

poly is absolute shit at protecting

unless you only use cash to buy and don't use GPS or don't have a phone with you, and don't drive there on your car equipped with GPS the government knows.
why would you assume otherwise?

never enough ammo for someone else to take from your corpse. Might want to at least look poor for when shtf
