How much ammo do you keep? - Page 3

I have about 1000 eounds of 556, 1500 of 9mm and 400 of 45acp. I buy target ammo when I find it on the cheap and more SD/Hunting ammo when I can afford it. I will be happy when i have maybe 3k 556 and 2k of 9 spread across my two places. Lugging guns back and forth is easy but the ammo gets HEAVY.

Not enough. I do keep as much as I can afford and find room to store in my storage cabinet. Add to it whenever I have the extra cash and am not looking to buy a new gun instead. Like to have a minimum of 1000 rds. for each caliber I shoot.

We keep on hand 500 9MM and 2000 22LR. and 50 rnds SD EDC ammo.
That allows us to shoot in warm weather and restock during ammo sales.

I stopped counting. It's quite a bit though.

Usually have 100 rds in the vehicle for whatever I have along, sometimes a little more. Usually a brick of 22 in there also.

Thats not "going to the range", just what lives in the truck.
