How many mags do you think one should have for his SHTF Rifle of choice? And would you load them all the same?
Keep 5 loaded mags in my truck. 3 of FMJ, 2 of JHP, plus 2 of FMJ in the GHB. I figure after that point ill be dead or home so anything more is wasted. Then at home I have... many many more waiting packed in 50cal ammo cans.
Just curious as to why you mix your ammo for getting home? Do you think that if you had to engage with targets you would have the time or the thought to switch mags to another type of ammo? Not trying to knock you or anything just curious is all.
When I first drank the SHTF koolade, my ammo supplies were very low, and I didn't have five full mags of one type or the other. So I went with the 3/2 mix out of necessity (living paycheck to paycheck, stock pilling was out of my reach). Since then its just been a force of habit to keep 3 of one and 2 of the other in the truck (rotate out every few months). Im sure in a real life scenario there would be little to no fore-though about changing ammo types.
Understandable...I was just curious
You are good to go Soldiermags.....I keep one bullet in my pocket for trouble.....
