Ha,ha, you do need a 50 BMG. I hit the lottery on that. I ordered the BushMaster BA50 several years ago, and their system didn't understand. I paid for it, but they didn't think they shipped me the rifle, even though I told them that I picked it up with my FFL. They couldn't figure it out, and just refunded my money. Awesome gun, definitely my favorite.
I've been doing your same strategy on the purchasing spreading out what I buy with the goal of over 1k for each too!. Slow and steady wins the race. I've also been just keeping them in their original boxes too. Differing opinions from everybody on that though. Thanks for sharing your video :)
After 2010 I made the decision to stock up on 12-18 months of range ammo, took me roughly 6 years to get there because of several other shortages but by the time 2020 hit I wasn’t worried about buying anything I just cut back a little. The sad part is that for the 25 years of personal buying before these internet induced shortages I would keep around 6 boxes of each caliber in my cabinet and be happy, now I sit at about 20k just so I don’t run out or get price gouged.
@@GunActivities365 what helped me was when I realized I didn’t need 18 different calibers anymore. Made a killing selling my stuff on consignment during the plandemic and I don’t include 22lr in my inventory because we have and shoot so much of it that it skews the numbers.
@@GunActivities365 me too until I had an injury that left me unable to hunt so decided to clear out my hunting gear which led me down a rabbit hole 😂. I was pulling things out I hadn’t touched since the 80’s and there was the plandemic going on so I decided to consolidate to common calibers while demand was high. I ended up with some nice modern items in the and freed up a lot of space.
Keep up the good work, buddy! I would recommend taking out a small fraction of your ammo budget and investing in gold/silver and stocks. May be like $10 out of $100. You could buy more guns/ammo 10 years down from this nest egg.
Buy the components and RELOAD. Cheaper. If you plan ahead by getting bullets, and powder for several calibers. Get the bullets .25, .30. 9mm in the thousands, same way with primers, tens of pounds of powder (unique, bullseye, etc) Build up your inventory, and then some.
What's a good reloading set up cost before materials though? $2,000? $4,000? I've heard people having $15,000 reloading set ups. People also have finite space. People with kids or animals make it difficult too as I have to think you have to dedicate a decent sized work area for it. I've looked into reloading but the learning curve, space needed and upfront costs are a hard sell to me.
Glad you're back with more videos, money is one thing trying to stock up on ammo but having the space to store everything is a bigger problem lol . Keep stacking buddy!!!
#1 thing to any collection is also quality over quantity. No matter what you should always be buying ammo from a reputable manufacturer. If you have any doubts about the quality of a certain manufacturer or military surplus etc... don't buy any. Don't mix junk in with good ammo. It'll devalue everything you have unless everything you have is immaculately sorted and dependably labeled. Hollowpoints gonna cost more than FMJ. Slugs and 00 buckshot are going to cost more than #8 target load. Plenty of .22 ammo can also be incredibly junk and underpowered. Good ammo will cost more. Invest in quality first. Then quantity second.
Hex mags run iny AR 10 when its neg 40 out. Mag pull mags wont run. I go through phases. Ill be sitting good & then i get a new gun and I burn through the rounds. I like to have a 1000 of each caliber I own. Now shotgun, I have a lot. . Thanks for sharing with us Friend. God Bless 🙏🦅
Just a little FYI. Go to a welding supply and buy a box of soapstone. Put a couple sticks in each can. The soapstone will suck up any moisture that may be in the can.

Yes sir!!! When you put out everything like this you can see where ya need to work. I think 1,000 rounds of each caliber is a good goal. Even the 30-30 450 and all that. Obviously thats harder to do cause they are so expensive. Like i would love to have a 1000 rounds of .458 socom. But now days i cant find it or even brass for it. So i just reload the brass i shoot. If i can't have 1000 rounds of each i will have 2000 parts of components to remake it. Also shotgun is fun to reload cause you can put some unique stuff inside it! 😂 kinda why i want a modern day blundy!! Dont know if they make one but it would be awesome if all you had to do was put a blank cartridge in and the stuff the barrel with whatever you could find!! 😂😂 As for keeping ammo in the box or loose pack it depends. If i buy in bulk like 1,000 rounds ill pull them out of boxes and put in a can, then throw a empty box in the can with lot # and what it is. But if im buying boxes here and there ill store them in boxes as they are different lot #'s. I used to buy alot more in bulk but at todays prices i dont do that as much. Im also at a point where i have enough ammo to change focus onto other things in preping like food, water filtration systems, more gear related stuff. Also been working on ways to transport stuff if needed. Im more in the mind set of shelter in place if something happens but you never know that may not be a option for me and my family. Then ill have to move and then i could be screwed if i dont have proper means and a plan ready to go. Anyways another long comment from me in ya videos, but keep up the grind brother and stay fluid.

Agreed. Don't talk about it because if you have a lot, you're likely to get hit early in a SHTF situation and you will be their supplier... Keeping quiet is the best FAFO you can have...
What brand was the plastic? I bought a six pack of Magill then found out it won't work in a Sig 516. So they got demoted from carry to range in another gun.

Hey... I heard you mention 380, have you shot any of the Freedom Munitions 380(if I remember correctly is what you ordered) yet ? I see mixed reviews and just was wondering what your thoughts were....
I've bought from freedom munitions twice and have been disappointed both times. The 1st time I got some reloaded 5.56, it was the worst ammo I ever bought. The 2nd time I bought 10 rounds of .50 bmg tracers and it took 20 days for me to receive it. I'll never buy from them again.
I DIY most of mine. I'm getting a 12g reloading setup, just because. I know it's not required (right now), but I'll have the kit to do it if I have to.
Opening picture, I see a lot of ammo with no lot tracing, so if there is a recall you will have no idea. Second problem, all that loose ammo, lead banging against lead and brass, loosening crimps, dinging rifle bullet tips just a bit. So your accuracy will be less than originally manufactured. I package my reloads better than that.
@@GunActivities365 So you are intentionally making it worse. Got it. Daddy always said, don't argue with a fool, no one watching will be able to tell who is who.
I want a drum fed AR 12 gauge Give me a few months. I have to finish my kitchen remodel. I have a A4 but I grew up with a 308. I used to carrying a 308. Its going to be hard to switch my primary to a drum shotgun. .
I been thinking about buying more Mini 14's I don't know I just feel like in the future there going to be rare 180 series with pencil barrel. More to collect/ investment in that order. Opinions are welcome I don't get offended very easily.lol
Stockpiling ammo is like asking how much $$ do you need in the bank for emergencies .... There is NO definitive answer. You can have THOUSANDS of rounds of ammo and you have to evacuate ... How much can you carry and where do you go ?? You can have hundreds of thousands of $$ in the bank and you DIE and have no kids, no wife and no relatives .... All that $$ left behind ...
Use your brain buddy. This gives you the ability/option to stay put. If you have to leave with just a backpack, the situation is much worse than anyone could really plan for.
When SHTF you need only 50 rounds of 308, 300 rounds of 5.56, and 200 rounds of 9 mm. You are going to have to haul ass and get out of Dodge. All you're doing is supplying the enemy and you're not going to be able to carry around every day anymore ammo like I said it will slow you down or tire you and you won't be able to go anywhere. I just want to tell you a realistic scenario. Also 22 lr for small game. One 308 or 270 round will bring down a hog or a deer. Two 5.56 rounds will bring down one whitetail for dinner.
If you choose to bugout, you can only carry so much. Bugging in is a different story. If we are ever in a situation where we have to "Red Dawn" it.....there will be plenty of things lying around to pick up.
@@Catgat37 Red Dawn lol you are funny. SHTF not going to be like Red Dawn...more like a natural disaster or a riot. That's more realistic and you think that there will be plenty of things lying around you watch to many hollywood movies. Things lying around will be scarce. be preparred and stock of on food items.
