How much AMMO should YOU BUY RIGHT NOW!? Prepping for survival, riots, mob violence or war.

- In this video I will give you a real world common sense formula for calculating how much ammunition you should have on hand right now. This formula for ammo storage is based on the given possible scenarios that you would fall into where you would need ammo.
Your amount of ammo storage can be calculated based on 5 possible scenarios. The first being home defense. The second is community defense or preparing for an active shooter or some other small scale weapons engagement. Number three is mob violence. Number four is preparation for war (but we hope that never happens and let’s pray that it doesn’t). And number five you will see answered in the video.
These ammo buying and storage numbers are based upon a formula using a Primary, Secondary and Specialty weapon load out calculation as follows.
Primary weapon ammunition needs:
Full combat load out = 7 full magazines.
Example AR 15: 7 x 30 rounds = 210 rounds for a full combat load out.
Round that number up to 250. And plan for one use of 250 rounds each calendar quarter. 4 x 250=1000 rounds.
1000 rounds a year for four years planning = 4000 rounds.
Secondary weapon ammunition needs:
Full combat load out = 4 full magazines
Example Glock 19: 4 x 15 rounds = 60 rounds for a full combat load out.
And plan for one use of 60 rounds each calendar quarter. 4 x 60 = 240 rounds. Round that number up to 250.
250 rounds a year for four years planning = 1000 rounds.
Specialty weapon ammunition needs:
Full combat load out = 3 full loads of your weapon choice
Example 20 gauge Remington 870: 3 x 5 rounds = 15 rounds for a full combat load out.
And plan for one use of 15 rounds each calendar quarter. 4 x 15 = 60 rounds.
60 rounds a year for four years planning = 240 rounds or let’s just say 250 rounds.
So for the specialty example you would want to have 250 rounds of each specialty shell for your 20 gauge shotgun. Bird shot from number 2 down to number 6, buck shot and slugs.

Thanks for your comment. God bless you and yours.
What a damn waste. Someone could have been born, taught how to operate the US bases and grown into a 20-year old soldier in the time it took us to fail Afghanistan so badly. Complete waste.
Now I’m buying specific ammo, Sig 77gr OTM, getting harder to find. This is for my DMR. I try and buy at least 5 boxes of something every week, been doing this for years so it begins to stack up.
The Spanish reconquista took almost a thousand. Don't just stockpile ammo. Stockpile blood. Make lots of children, lots and lots of children and raise them right. This war isn't going to be over in 500 years.
@@joehuff4025
Idk what your doctrine or financial allocation numbers look like, but having a 308 might be better than trying to make 556 do things that aren't really plausible for it. Even budget-tier brass 308 will outperform high quality 556. 70 cents a round vs. 1.40 a round... Starts to make more sense to just make/buy a new gun.
People say you're nuts to have much ammo until bad things happen, and then they're asking for your ammo.
Never stop buying ammo. It doesn't go bad if stored properly and your children and grandchildren can use it if you don't. Buy a few hundred rounds per month if you can afford it. With our currency being deliberatly devalued, ammo may become a bartering tool in the future.
Thanks for commenting. God bless you and yours.
It's the new reserve currency!
Never barter ammo. It can be used against you.
@@streakofluck
Better advice is do not barter anything to someone you don't know.......because any supplies can be used against you.
True that!! I once had 500 rounds of 9mm in ammo cans inside an old refrigerator in my car port in the desert. Divorce reared its ugly head, had to sell my guns. Fast forward 15 years, still had that 9mm ammo, went and shot it, all of it, only had TWO failures, both bad primers.
Downsizing to 3 calibers, giving away guns to family, biz partners and their kids has gotten some great comments of appreciation and simplified our lives. Semper Fi🇺🇸
Thanks for commenting. God bless you and yours.
Which calibers did you go with?
Semper fi brother
@@opossumfpvI assume 5.56, 308 and 9 mm. For me 7.62x39 on top of that, and of course 22lr goes without saying.
@@zelenizub2036 would be my picks too but adding a 4th. 12 gauge, everyone should have one.

LOL, maybe. Thanks for your comment. God bless you and yours.
Like your style
Fuck yeah 🤣🤣🤣
In a shtf or war situation, any ammo is good ammo, meaning self defense ammo vs ball or fmj won’t matter.
My rule of thumb, if you know how much ammo you have, then you don’t have enough
But I still like to keep track of how much I ;ve accumulated so I write it down every time I buy some no matter what the caliber !!!
Thanks for your comment. God bless you and yours.
Your absolutely correct. Once it passes past a typical self defense type of event we hit the point where it's irrelevant.
Yup all lead is getting shot 😂
ROTFLMA . . . Never heard that one . . . . PRICELESS !!!!
I'm a firm believer in using my ammo as needed for guaranteed hits!! Not wasting ammo on shadows!!😂
When you can't walk through your home anymore, you might have enough ammo. When your floors collapse, perfect amount... 😳

Every American should have 5000 rounds+, imo. Thanks for the video👍

Buy some good fire extinguishers guys
And be very careful with lithium batteries
Store the large ones in a fireproof box or bag

I have 60,000 .22 LR does that qualify?
I may be close with you in stock, however, .22 can not have enough of. 👍
@@Irnmadn33no....
If I should ever NEED it for self defense in a total SHTF scenario, I need enough that my odds of outliving my ammo stash are zero. And I'm well past that point. I stopped counting when I last started to take inventory and passed 6000 rounds. The dumbest cause of death possible is "ran out of ammo" and this won't happen to me.
Thanks for the comment. God bless you and yours.
When I get to 6000 rounds of ammo, I'm out 😁
You can also use your precious metals for barter
XCLNT observation . . Good information / advise@@rawbeejay
It's all about the Benjamins! Beside affording the ammo, you need at least two pistols and spare parts, holsters, cleaning tools, cleaning solutions, lubricants, lockboxes, or safes, waterproof ammo boxes, shooting glasses, ear protection, etc. I've almost got the minimum amount of equipment that I need and now I'm working on my ammo supply.
Thanks for your comment. God bless you and yours.
agreed
You should have as much ammo as you can afford and have the space to store it. There is no such thing as too many guns or too much ammo.
That's right. Thanks for commenting. God bless you and yours.
... Balanced against the beans and bandaids. And training is better than Stuff, so...
i think we can all see the writing on the wall and nobody has said the quiet part out loud but we all know where things are going to end up and its never been more important for patriots of the american way of life to arm up and stockpile weapons and ammo. im glad channels like this are doing their part to spread information and encouragement to prepare.
@@user-im6fy4qp6m amen !!!!
Just like fishing rods and tackle
If you go to the store to buy milk, buy a box of something. My point is buy ammo all the time, especially when it is available and reasonably inexpensive. Don't wait for panic buying when politicians threaten bans or new laws.
Thanks for commenting. God bless you and yours.
Just in Houston during the pandemic you couldn't find a box's of 357s or 38 specials so let that sink in.
@@Moraprecisionreloaderexactly during the pandemic was just little taste and should’ve awaken everyone how bad it go with real fast so people should be prepping now. Ammo, food, generator gasoline etc.
@@MoraprecisionreloaderBut 9mm and. 5.56 was still very much available. It was more expensive, but there was a lot of it available.
That's exactly what I do even if it's just a box of 22lr

In this situation, ammo is very important. But even more importantly, is the luck it will take to survive. You can train all you want. But guaranteed things are going to happen, that you never thought of. Most importantly, keep your head under stress. Easier said than done, I know, but extremely important.

Two primary guns for me, My dad in WW2 had to run for a fox hole, jumped in and landed on his M-1 and bent the barrel. So, an AR and backup is my SKS then my 9 and then 12 Gage. I have about 2000 for the AR and about 1600 in 7.62X39, 9 is about 500 and for the pump about 800. I reload my own 12 GA so, + 450.
Thanks for your comment. God bless you and yours.
Spot on for common sense except for the 20 gauge shotgun. 95% of the shotguns are 12 gauge. So in a worst case scenario, if you have to scrounge for ammo, chances of you finding 20 gauge are near 0.
I know, but I love my 20. Thanks for the comment. God bless you and yours.
@@AnthonyBattagliaPTE I love my 20 Mossberg pump as well, but the ammo is much more expensive than my 12s and I am beginning to wonder.
#1 rule of thumb ... 1,000 per FIREARM ! You read that correctly, 1,000 rounds per firearm/gun you own ! That’s what I was taught when I got into shooting & still go by that to this day ! As for stored ammo after you have your 1000 Rnds, store at least 5k rnds per firearm & do not use it ! That 5000 rnds is for shtf situation. If you reload your own store powder bullets primers & brass accordingly. Learn how many rnds per lb of powder you an make & store what you need according to your own way of shooting & situations you may think will happen ! This info was passed down to me by a ww1 & ww2 veterans who actually served & fought in wars ! Good video well assessed load outs ! Good job 👍🇺🇸👏
Thanks for your comment. God bless you and yours.
I carry a minimum of 1k in mags just to go for a walk about. No sense in carrying less if you can't make it back alive to your stash 😁🇺🇲
Consider captured weapons ane ammo for resupply. I store an ammo can for each weapon. I also store cleaning supplies. I have the ability to make more ammo. They can't starve us out and they can't make us run.
Thanks for the comment. God bless you and yours.

Good video.
Another thing to keep in mind is the type of ammo for your weapons. Different situations require different types of ammo. For example, green tip for the engagement that requires it. Frangible or varmint for home defense and/or CQB. Pointed soft point for hunting etc. FMJ/ball for practices. HP stuff, etc., etc.
Best of luck to all...
Thank-you for your comment. God bless you and yours.
Another masterpiece video. I do have one thing to add, if your spouse is also a shooter, you need to have more; maybe not twice as much, but at least some more (This also helps when they decide to go their own way and half of your ammo goes with them. But that's a different story for a different day 😂 👀 ). Obviously, we all have different financial abilities, but they are good numbers to strive for. I have always tried to keep at least 1000 rounds of each "battle" caliber for pistols, at least 1500 for the "main battle rifle", and at least 100 for the larger rifles (hey, 30-06 is expensive. Don't judge). And of course, as you said, with the .22, plenty. I'm also big on shotguns, I even keep one as my truck gun. So I do have at least 100 of varying 12 ga at all times. And what I do, as a practice, is I keep it in sealed storage, and when I go shooting, I always buy at least an extra box or two. And I put them into storage while shooting up the main amount that I bought. That way I'm always adding to it slowly.
Incidentally, I also save all of my brass and hulls, and have been getting powder, components, etc. and storing them. I don't reload right now, but I am trying to get the collection together to be able to do so if things get bad. I have reloaded in the past, so I have the ability.
God bless brother!
Thanks brother, I really appreciate your comments and thoughtfulness. You are right, you have to get what you can afford. I don't reload either - maybe in the future though. Thanks for commenting. God bless you and yours.
My wife can easily shoot our PS90 so I have plenty of ammo for it as well.
I store 9mm and 22Lr. I converted my AR15 to take 22LR. affordable and able use on my other 22lr guns.
Theres never enough ammo but if you are going to stock pile ammo, have them loaded in mags ready to go. In a real situation if you need to use it, there won't be time for reloading.
Thanks for commenting. God bless you and yours.
Mags are more expensive and bulkier. 7000 rds in Glock mags!? I'd need another garage.
@@grendal113
True, but it is a good idea to have as many mags as you think the absolutely worst case situation would call for. I find that to be a few MTM mag containers full. Also, if all you have is a Glock, you might want to rectify that.
@@grendal113 you won’t be able to stay at home. You have to have ammo staged in big out areas.
@@user-vh5kz3eb1h of course. Lol I can't carry all my guns and gear anyway. Especially walking.
We often think of rifles as our main arm, and pistols as side arms. But we must never practice with our rifles more than our pistols or vise versa. Practice both equally because that side arm may become your main arm in close quarters.
Great video.
I read an article somewhere several years back about a man that had gone through a Civil War or Revolution in his country. His advice was to have 4000 rounds of ammo per gun that you have. He claimed he used 90% to 95% of his ammo in a 4 year period on the 4 guns that he had. So, I would say you hit the nail on the head with your figures.
Thanks Tex! Thanks for the comment. God bless you and yours.
I went with much smaller numbers than you because I calculated my ammo needs based strictly on a bugout situation. Everything I plan to take fits in two ammo cans (.223, 9mm, .22, and 30-06). The rest of my ammo will be cached somewhere for later recovery if the circumstances permit.
Thank-you for your comment. God bless you and yours.
Where you going bugout too? Your house is easiest to protect, unless you have a cabin deep in the woods. But everybody is going run to the woods also. Being on the move in a car etc which can get trapped in and ambushed easily is not the best option especially if you have a family. Need to look into home defense more than buging out. I used to be a bug out guy also until I started thinking about it more and more, what food will have to take, how going keep kids safe, veichles aren't bullet proof and are easy to disable, so many unknowns and uncontrollable situations bugging out. Where as a home defense situation is easier to handle and control and more comfortable for kids/family. More food can be stored, can make own energy production off grid options etc etc. Should think about it more. But if you live in a big city I understand wanting to bug out but just think of traffic jams also from all others doing same also. 🤷🏻♂️ leave cities now and save yourself.
@@cliffgardner5717 I think best option is a sailboat lol
@hugeslacker I can see that too if it's a big enough boat, you live close enough to the ocean and it's able to handle the open sea's. Do the whole water world thing. Lmfao.
@@cliffgardner5717 my friend is big into sailing. He was telling me how larger sailboats can even make fresh water on board!
I think that the formula outlined in this video is an excellent guide for anyone. It also makes clear that I need to really increase my supply of 12 ga. ammo. Aside from that, my primary, secondary and .22lr are pretty much as you have outlined, though I am not yet ready to go four years on the primary.
Your calculations must be based on fighting from a bunker because you can’t possibly carry anything near that much ammo. Having fought in two wars, I believe mobility adds to survivability so what you can carry or arrange for resupply is a huge factor in your calculations
Thanks for the comment. God bless you and yours.
People should have ammo and cold storage crypto wallets stored underground throughout the country
@indica2578 maybe you should listen to the people that have been there and done that. They might know more than you do. As for the taking a Marine out at 1k with a hunting rifle, there might be a handful of civilians that could actually do that. Doubtful though. Sounds to me like you've never shot long range.
The old saying "Don't keep all your eggs in one basket" applies. Multiple weapons and ammo stored in various locations
@indica2578 Goats don't shoot back...
Making sure the weapon is properly at zero will definitely save ammunition.
Learning / training how to shoot under duress is a life saver, too. Next time you shoot outdoors, ( if safe ) run 100 yards at full tilt, stop, get cover then shoot. It's easy when you're cool and have plenty of time and shade. Practice with REAL WORLD conditions. Tired, out of breath, no shade, no water, maybe moving targets.. do this and you'll win the next battle you're in..
Thanks for your comment. God bless you and yours.
buy it (relatively) cheap, stack it deep, then you'll never have to weep.
Thanks for commenting. God bless you and yours.
Thanks bro for all of your very valuable suggestions. Going to buy my first full combat primary in a few days and also I am going to purchase my specialty weapon as well. At the same time the ammo manufacturers are offering some great inexpensive deals currently, but they won't last forever with hyper inflation, the rapidly devalued US dollar and our nation's and international supplies being thoroughly messed with by the global elite's.
What did you get?
Excellent advice on ammo calculations. Your calculations are very practical and realistic.
Thanks for your comment. God bless you and yours.
Great video first of all. I believe on your primary ammo, if your in enough engagements to go through 1000 rds a year your need for trainning is minimal 😮
Thanks for your comment. God bless you and yours.
I'm almost 70 and I'm not sure how much fight I have left, but I'm not the type to give up. I have every one of the weapons you mentioned and your recommended 4 year load out for each. I would add one other rifle to your recommendations and that's a centerfire with night vision.
Yes I suppose so , I'm sure it would be nice for those who could afford it 🤑🤑🤑😝🤑🤑
if i was your grandson, i assure you i would stay the course and keep those arms in working condition for the dangerous liberties of our great nation. we all need a dangerous grandpa, because we as men look to our prior generations, those who dont are fools. you have already walked the path and tested the strengths of time.... any action you make speaks not only volumes, but is for the wise to heed to. i salute you. my sons grandpa passed away, best man i knew. big shoes to fill. i assure you, the men in this nation are doing the things needed for the future generations.
Ammo prices have came down and it is available, now is the time to buy as much as you can afford.
Also remember P.A.C.E.- Primary , Alternate, Contingency, Emergency. Use for guns, ammo, food, etc..
I think the scary part would be most companies wouldn’t be on the peoples side in a shtf situation
You're right, they wouldn't 🤔. Companies now are bought-off government whores🤑!! Ultra MAGA2023🙏🇺🇸
Excellent vlog! Great realistic suggestions. The other major question that no one addresses is: Are you able and willing to kill another human. This is where a lot of PTSD comes from. It that first shot wounds the other person and that person is screaming in pain, would you then commit premeditated murder and fire more bullets "To finish him off?" You better think about it. This scenario WILL happen!
The police are trained to shoot to kill too prevent that perpetrator from filing a law suit against you. The most basic law enforcement training doctrine says unload the weapon on the target's center mass. The best philosophy is the two to the chest and one to the head. Granted there are times that a head shot is the only option.
I’ve purchased ammo for years. Use some for practice, majority is saved. It doesn’t break my wallet to buy a box of ammo each payday. When some ammo skyrocketed at times, I bought different calibers. Never have enough. I also have at least two guns of each caliber. That way I have a backup gun in case something goes wrong with a gun.

Thanks for your comment. God bless you and yours.
I disagree because at certain point there's better things to buy than ammo. To be extremely 7k ammo for 3 calibers you should be worried about more ammo.
You could be spending it on other preparations. Survival class, gear, training for other family members. Home equipment and genrators the list goes on.

At my age, and with my medical issues, going to war is pretty well inconceivable. The other scenarios seem possible, however.
Thanks for your comment. God bless you and yours.
prepare to be a kamikazi then.... you already know your place as a protector.
The way I look at it is how much can I throw in my truck if I have to leave my area quickly and never come back to my house.
A person may only have a couple hours or minutes to get out of the neighborhood.
A Pallet of ammo sitting in the Garage is not going to get thrown in the back of the vehicle minutes before having to bug out.
I'd say a couple of bandoliers of ammo for the Rifle and 5 mags for the Pistol and two 30 cal ammo boxes of rifle ammo and one 30 cal ammo box of pistol ammo. That is over $1500 rnds of ammunition.
If you're able to be in a secure area and your living in a house that's different.

You should have as much as you can afford. That is the correct answer.

@@johnfowler6189Yep, a Leatherman is a great thing to have.
At approximately 3:00, it is exceedingly unusual that it is safe to stand and fire. Fire briefly from cover if you have it, and move on. Otherwise fire while moving. At about 8:10, when breaking leather against an an attack, move, draw, move, fire, move, assess for threats left, right, and behind. If no more threats, only then reholster.
Yeah, it's just a video and no one is shooting back, lol. Thanks for your comment. God bless you and yours.
My secondary gun is a Keltec PMR-30 22 magnum pistol......each mag holds 30 rounds......My thought is, force the other guy to stop shooting at you. The 9mm has more kill power but if you can stop the shooter with one 22 mag......once they are contained, they are not a threat, if you gotta put a few more rounds in them......heck, 30 rounds per magazine. The 22 Mag is much lighter, you can carry more rounds and since it holds 30 rounds you can let it rip.
Thanks for the comment. God bless you and yours.
I love that gun. Finally got one myself.

I used to be of the SHTF preparation mindset. I have concluded that it is pointless. No one is coming to get me. I've downsized so much and I'm so much more at peace. I have trained my entire life and the gun cool factor just doesn't appeal to me as it once did. I have about 500 rounds for my primary handgun (40 s&w),and 1000 rounds for my AR and 22LR. If the government is coming to get your stuff, they're gonna get it. Your Barrets, AKs, and ARs aren't going to do squat if an M1 tank pulls up in your front yard to collect your guns (which will never happen anyways). Live in peace, and may the God of love and peace delight to dwell with and bless you.
im the neighborhood guy with a tank.... ill keep my neighbors safe from incoming rounds.
If you have an armed confrontation with a few individuals, it will probably be resolved with less than a hundred rounds. That's if you pretend you're in a movie and just dump rounds indiscriminately in the direction of your attacker. If you are confronted by a superior force of ten or more people, you will lose a firefight no matter how much ammo you have. It should take you less than a hundred rounds a year to hunt meat,something you probably should be trapping instead of giving away your position by shooting. If you are in a group confronted by any military force, you can not defend yourself from high angle fire heavy machine guns or drones. Your best option in shtf is to NOT engage with ANYBODY. Quit dreaming of Hollywood scenarios and start thinking about surviving.

Exactly. You need a lot of ammo to address all these scenarios that are dancing around in your head. Gosh, I’m getting ready for “Red Dawn!” Knock yourselves out.
A good investment for your AR15 rifle is the CMMG 22lr conversion kit. They come with 3 - 25 rd mags and are less than $200. Super reliable!! Your numbers make me feel good about what we've stocked up on.
Imagine all the lives, google is saving by censoring the image or the mention of a 30 round magazine
Much of the population is too old or out of shape to be running-and-gunning (myself included), so I think the 5.56 ammo would be fine at about 2k rounds. For the side arm, I would hold 3k-4k rounds at all times (and replace it as you use it). - I would start with a case of ball to get a foothold, then add some defensive ammo to get the total count up. - This is the most likely gun that will be utilized for the majority of situations and scenarios. Having this amount also will let you still make range trips when there is a temporary squeeze on the supply. (Like we have seen 2-3 times the past 10 years)
Concur on the .22LR - 7k-10k (even 20k and more, since it would be great trading material if it ever came to that)
For the shotgun, I would increase the holding on #6-#7 shot size, since it could be a primary tool for hunting small game.
For the slugs and buck, I think 2-3 hundred rounds of that mix would be plenty, as it will likely be used to just repel borders and not for tactical use outside the house/base camp.
Thanks for commenting. God bless you and yours.
I had a lot of birdshot, converted it to slugs ect
My career in the army taught me that you prepare for the worst case scenario always. So prepare for an apocalypse. The one thing I learned in fire fights was there is no such thing as bringing too much ammo.
One thing these gun channels never discuss is the need for spare parts for their weapons (firing pins, springs, extractors, etc.). All the ammunition in the world is useless when your firing pin is broken…
I actually discuss that in the video linked in the description to this video. Thanks for your comment. God bless you and yours.
FOOD IS EXPENSIVE A GOOD TIME IS EXPENSIVE HELPING PEOPLE IS EXPENSIVE. AMMO IS NEVER TOO EXPENSIVE WHEN IT’S YOUR ONLY LINE OF SURVIVAL.
Thanks for your comment. God bless you and yours.
I reconfigured to 5 calibers, 22, 12ga, 5.56, 9mm and .308. I have the most 22 and 9 mm with a fair amount of 556 and 12 gauge. I moved from one house to another, and that is when I realized I had too many guns and ammo lol.
I settled on 3,000 rounds for rifles. Not sure why.
3K 7.62x39
3K 556
Maybe because of having 2 different rifle calibers.
Good deal. As long as you have enough, that's all that matters. Thanks for commenting. God bless you and yours.
I think this discussion depends greatly on whether you can hunker down in one place or not. If you are displaced or have to be on the move often, you are going to have to leave most of it behind. If you can hunker down in one place and hopefully with a lot of neighbors, then your cache is incredibly valuable.
Unfortunately, you can’t wait to find out because by then it’ll be too late.
Thanks for the comment. God bless you and yours!
I’ve been wondering how I can bury it in my back yard without neighbors seeing it. Having it all in the same place like my house, I don’t like.
Yeah, if you're out there running around, you're just a refugee with a gun. People need to get a primary location that is a safe place on lockdown, secondary if you have the means. I don't think he's talking about the refugees because they are the minority in the preparedness community. I know there are some that are trapped in urban areas or find it hard to afford anything to get out. Ammo should be the last of your concerns if you're in that situation, getting out is elnumero uno.
Very good point. I stockpiled food and supplies, when hurricane Ida destroyed our home I had to leave most of it. Loaded what we could in the car and left.
Kaltwasser, I agree that your best option is to build a community of people that can protect themselves but you never know what scenario you will be in. Perhaps a natural disaster forces your hand or you are overrun by a band of thugs. Desperate situations create desperate people and if anyone knows that you are stockpiling or even thinks you are, you are a target. I’m not suggesting that you don’t stockpile, just that you need to prepare yourself for the chance that you will have to leave it behind.
Awesome video! The only thing I would say about the formula your using is the assumption that secondary is as likely used each quarter, I would cut that number from 1000 to 100 high quality Speer Gold dot or HST, ammo re stocked annually so it will always be fresh. The intermediate rifle ammo 3,360 Rds. Locked away. “Specialty” weapons as much as you can with out the wife getting pissed. 300PRC?
Thanks for your comment. God bless you and yours.
I live in Brooklyn, NY it was hard to get a weapon but thanks to the Supreme Court, it's much easier
Take out a loan if you have to. Ammo isn't getting any cheaper nor abundant. Mark my words we'll all be looking back to the year 2023 and think, "I wish I had gotten more".
Thanks for your comment. God bless you and yours.
Esp with how the Dems are trying harder than ever to ram gun control through. The ammo market is very delicate right now and barely catching up. All it needs in one big scare and boom we will be worse off than 2020 levels.
I have been prepping for two decades! I have two dead drops and a safehouse. Not worried about running out of anything at all!
Man I’m just buying what I can afford every week, been doing this for years so it really stacks up after a while. I never stop buying it though. Some of the special ammo is a lil hard to find at times.
Good deal, keep chipping away at it.
What special ammo are you talking about
@@veracity91 sig 77 gr otm for my 223
Too much is never enough. I'd suggest looking for deals on reloading supplies-especially powders, and primers, and for the reloader with limited time-fully processed brass. Ammo prices now are low considering the state of the economy. I think any person who has steel #00 and even #000 buckshot would have no shortage of "friends".
Every two weeks come payday I’m buying 556 and 9mm
Thanks for your comment. God bless you and yours.
2-3 combat loads (2 full combat loads loaded in magazines/clips, with one combat load in loose rounds. For both primary and secondary weapons). It's not really about how much should you stockpile- because you're NOT bringing it all with you. That's not logistically feasible. The key then, is to plan ahead, think about scrounging (i.e. "loot drops" LOL), cache's and bugout location(s).
Thanks for commenting. God bless you and yours.
Base camp location and secondary places for ammo storage.
Reloading is the way to go.
Not only is it fun to do, but also saves money and it’s a great way to learn about ballistics and what your particular guns perform best with.
I try to keep a good stock of reloading components as well as loaded cartridges. Powder and primers were very difficult to find anywhere during the plandemic . Now available again but the price of primers has more than doubled
Good idea. I don't have the time or money but it's a skill I don't know and need too. I did start buying stick matchs for my prep buckets. To make primers.
@@timothylongmore7325 Well hopefully I’ve got enough to last so I won’t have to learn to make match head primers 😂
@@DarthUr-zd2hp ive learned how. its better to know and have that ingrained in the bag than not know and need the info. practice for various scenarios..... and yes, i have alot of ammo.... and more reloading supplies.... but i also have alternate means
Great advice, and a lot to think about and plan to get prepared for a lawless society. This is a reality that is happening right before our eyes, as we speak.
You can never have too much ammo. Best for me is stored in two locations if I had to bugout in a hurry. One location is for a small community of friends and family.
I do the same thing. I have 3 locations.
Thank-you for your comment. God bless you and yours.
When this guy recognized ammo does not help you in the Apocalypse he earned my thumbs up.
I'm gonna say this if you have 1,000s of rounds you need to have it in multiple locations. If you are in a war situation you need to expect at least 1-2 of your supply places to be either taken or destroyed. If you have it all in one place one bad day can see years of preps go up in smoke or used by the other side against you.
Thanks for commenting. God bless you and yours.
Fire and theft are your most likely threat. I divide up in to at least two storage places in two seperate buildings for this.
Agreed
I had an old guy tell me the only time you can have too much AMMO is when you are trying to SWIM!!!
True truth. Thanks for commenting. God bless you and yours!
stand on it..... lol
Family of four load out everyone gets a long gun and a pistol.
Dad. Ar 556 / 1911 45acp
Mom. Judge 410 / 12 gauge shotgun
1st son ar 556/ 9mm
2nd son ar 556/ .357
*Guest have choice of 40sw and .22lr
Nothing like being a guest at a gun fight, lol. Thanks for commenting. God bless you and yours.
Specialty rifle is, is also my primary it's in 6.5 grendel. I can use it for hunt, defense and offence. If it's SHTF it won't matter if it's HP, SP, or FMJ, but I stack all three. I have 2 backups in x39 and 5.56. As a reloader, I have components to allow for changing calibers, by simply stopping by my caches. Like you I stack 22lr and don't bother counting. If nothing happens my kids grandkids get a stack.
This man intenions are good but to be honest you will be just fine eith FMJ ammo instead of the expensive self defense...you can buy 3 to 1 of the FMJ compare to the expensive ammo...my back up weapon is a 9 mm and a .357 pistol with a 6 inch barrel....but a 22 LR with the high velocity rounds serve the purpose.....you shoot anybody in the center mass with a FMJ believe me the attack, fight, will be over......
YOU will be fine with FMJ, but the 3 people behind the bad guy won't be, lol. Thanks for commenting. God bless you and yours.
@@AnthonyBattagliaPTE I don't think a 9 mm fmj will go through three people. A 5.56 might but I live in the country not where people are stacked on top of each other...unless you are fighting combat in the city shouldn't be a problem...
Rule of thumb, you can never have enough ammo.
I live in a van, so carrying a lot ammo isn't feasible. I've got two pistols and one rifle. Three magazines a piece.
Do you what you have to do. Thanks for commenting. God bless you and yours.
Do u live in a van to save $ on rent and housing? Not a bad idea since u can save a lot of $ in a short period of time.
Is it down by the river?
All of this is great if you shelter in place but if you have to bug out quickly, how much can you carry? Be prepared to stash what you can't carry with the hope you may be able to return for more.
Thank-you for your comment. God bless you and yours.
The only thing I can carry if I have to move from one location to another on foot frequently is my Ruger Mark III pistol and 500 rounds of 22 ammo. Too old to be lugging around a shotgun or rifle. Most important is to find some water source if you’re out in the woods. All guns and ammo are useless if you can’t find water within 3 days. Just my opinion.
Your opinion happens to be fact.
As much as you can afford
That's right! Thanks for commenting. God bless you and yours.
Do you think having practice ammo is enough for the worst
I Go with 1,000 Per Gun then for Training Use BB & Airsoft Guns. Anything Under 100ft a BB or Airsoft is Good for Training & Small Game Hunting. Also Look at Crossbows for Quiet Killing & Reusable Ammo.
Is this a joke, youtube seriously needs to lay off the censorship of inanimate objects
For my own peace of mind... I feel that 5-7000 rds per caliber (including training ammo) is the "sweet spot", therefore I limit my calibers... I also do most functional training with 22lr firearms, similar in style and function to my actual carry arms, ie 15-22 A/R and M&P 22 pistol... That is simply a cost effective way to stay sharp, and they function similarly to my actual firearms.
I also try to use NATO equivalents with the exception of .223... I prefer .308 & 300 blackout... Just prefer the ballistics over .223.
Thanks for your comment. God bless you and yours.
I just got a .308 AK and my god it smacks hard. Even at 300 yards it was moving a heavy plate that was resting at a 45 degree angle. It would be great for hunting and long range personal engagement if necessary, but I would do everything to avoid gunfights because if it truly got that bad a wound would be eventually fatal anyway.
I will say, the most practical training ammo is 22 lr, the S&W M&P 1522 and Glock 44 offer training tools that can stock pile a shit ton of training ammo
Thanks for your comment. God bless you and yours.
100% agree. I have a G44 and a .22lr CMMG bcg with (3) 25 round mags that came with it. Take out my 5.56 bcg, drop the .22 bcg in, my main gun is now a .22lr. It’s a great set up for less than $200.
I also view ammo as currency. It’s tends to only go up in value (or at least stays very stable) and would make a great currency for and barter type situations.
12k - 5.56 (1k loaded in 30 round mags)
10k - 9mm (250 rounds loaded in mags)
1k - 308 (4 mags loaded for my long range rifle)
1k - 12ga
5k - .22
1k - 45
1k 40
Combat load when I was in Afghanistan was 210 rounds
Thanks for your comment. God bless you and yours.
Same with Desert storm 210
Thanks for your service. I read about a father that would send an extra 7 X 30 Pmags with his son when he would go back in. I thought that was pretty cool.
Great video as always💯. Listing to this, based on your examples, I'm doing pretty good.
Excellent! Thanks for the comment. God bless you and yours!
You can have too much until you can't get it anymore. In other words, there is never enough.
Thanks for your comment. God bless you and yours.
Patriot Ordinance Factory Revolution a 6 pound .308 or 6.5 Creedmore AR-10. My Christensen MPR in .300 in mag is to keep the distance we hit and run!!!!
At this point, you're better off having ammo than cash...
This is probably true with the state of the economy. Thanks for your comment. God bless you and yours.
Exactly. Cash can only go so far. Ammo can get you food, defense, near everything if cash disappears.
As always, use wisely 👍👊
Things that can be traded for other usable items are always good to have.
@@AnthonyBattagliaPTE God bless you as well! ♥️🙏🏼 Stay safe out there ladies and gentlemen!
I would also suggest for those who are not in shape, get in shape. Start today. It would do you no good if you got ammo but cant carry your tools.
10k per rifle 5k pistol 3k special weapon. This is stored. Loadout is 250 primary 50 pistol. Loaded in mags. Same in ruck to reload all mags.
Thanks for your comment. God bless you and yours.
Kinda hard to get ten thousand rounds of 303 British right now haha
Home defense: 2 mags for AR15, 3 mags of 14-15 rds, shotgun 8 plus 16 extra, Etc. Single fire and one shot, one K. For war, everything you can muster. A Vietnam once said, a back pack full of ammo and maybe 5 candy bars, Two canteens of water, & Med kit with stapler and super glue.
Cases of buckshot. And a good shotgun it's Simple basic and a proven effective defense strategy ..
Oh and go for standard 12 ga 2 3/4 length buckshot shells. "low recoil" loads are a good choice for if you aren't an avid shooter. But NOT if your shotgun is semi automatic . Cause .. some semi guns may not cycle low recoil loads .. or your shotgun is a pistol grip or a shockwave and as far as . The longer magnum ones .. they might not fit your battle buddies shotgun or another shotgun in case your gun has issues
