In theory, there is such a thing as "enough ammunition." .Many of us spend inordinate amount of time (and other resources) seeking finally to discover where the boundary of "enough" is. So far as I am aware, no one has yet succeeded.

jeebus, this is a reminder of those dark days of 2013 when ammo was sold out everywhere. #NeverAgain
(it's ok, it's ok, I'm Jewish)
I read about a guy that said he had 500,000 rounds of 22lr. Even if you throw out hypotheticals like being 30 years old and living to age 75, that would be over 11,000 rounds per year for 40 years. I'd say he's pretty close to good.In theory, there is such a thing as "enough ammunition." .Many of us spend inordinate amount of time (and other resources) seeking finally to discover where the boundary of "enough" is.

I am a ammo junky.
The FDs out here in the hills pretty much assume that there will be ammo stored in the house. It's taken into consideration by them when responding to a structure fire.
Stood in front of the safe tonight for about twenty minutes debating over what I was willing to shoot. I kept saying that I wish I never made plans to meet my friends at the range.
100 rds of 9mm and 50 rds of 45. I miss you

I am an ammoholic, but I am also a magazineholic. I have an excuse for the ammo. I ran out of ammo a couple of times years ago and have stock piled it since. I have no excuse for the magazines though . Just today I reached a total of 52, 30 round AR magazines and 15 , 20 round AR magazines and if it's a Colt , I'll probably buy more. The same goes for handgun magazines. Someone please stop me!
the tenth step says you have to CONTINUE taking inventory!!The first step is admitting it...
Step 1 - I admit that I am powerless over my addiction to ammo and that my life has become unmanageable

• Describe embarrassing or humiliating incidents in your life related to your addiction to ammo.
• Do you feel any remorse from the ways that you have acted in your life? No. No, of course not...

This is FABULOUS!!
didn't he say once he hand crafted toe rings with that spent brass?Somehow, when Boris says this, I tend to believe him.
Pretty cool.My brother just 'gave' me 1000 rounds of 5.56 and 1000 rounds of 5.45 he 'found' on his doorstep .
