My wife says I have a problem

What he said?

 

[Que]

I have about 700 rounds reloaded.

 

[VERT]

Go easy on the OP guys & gals. 6000 rounds is a nice little stockpile.

Unless of course if you invite Que to go shooting with you. He will shoot all your ammo and give your gun back to you dirty.

 

[Kedric]

Que, you forgot a couple of 0s there, amigo.

 

[hornadylnl]

700 rounds isn't worth a caliber change on a progressive.

I'm just a little guy in the game. You OGs need to teach me something.

I know. I'll get up there with you guys some day.

 

[Broom_jm]

If 6200 rounds is sufficient to your needs, then you are not a hoarder. If that's more than you'll shoot in the next 50 years of your life, then you might be...but that's hard to imagine.

I try to always have the means to load 10,000+ rounds on the shelf, but often fall short of that. For me, it's really more about quality than quantity.

Pull the gun! Pull the gun!!

My wife is a good sport with me and my firearms and ammo. She doesn't shoot so she doesn't realize how quick it can go. I am now just trying to buy a box or two per paycheck

If you are a hunter that shoots a 3 shot group every fall to check your sights and two more shots every winter in the field, I would say you are excessive. If you shot a 150 round match every weekend and shoot 200-300 rounds in practice every week, I would say you are probably about right, if not just a little weak in the present market.

I just picked up some .223 and when I get home I add up my ammo. I have about 6200 rounds spread between all my calibers. She says that I might be a hoarder and that I need an intervention. My question is: what amount of ammo do you think is excessive?

If she wants to learn about some real ammo hoarding, you might point her to recent acquisitions by the USDHS. As long as the feds are stockpiling ammo in those quantities, I doubt there is a single private citizen in this country who can be accused of hoarding.

 

[Westside]

Yep not a hoarder.

 

[62chevyimpala]

Im so glad you started this! I was getting ready to ask.

I have 2500 rounds of 7.62x39, 600 rounds of 9mm, and 200 rounds of 12 gauge.

Im still building my stockpile but was wondering what my "goals" should be!

 

[churchmouse]

I must have over 40,000 rounds & I still feel that's not enough

It isn't

 

[Mgderf]

She's right. You DO have a problem.
You're trying to run with the big dogs, but you're tied to the porch.
Definitely a problem.

Oh no she di'int!

My wife told me I was hoarding when I came home with a couple hundred rounds of .45, so I took her shooting and threw it all down range. She then realized that I wasnt hoarding

I keep my ammo in the garage. That way when I come home with a couple hundred rounds, I just walk in the garage door and put it in the cabinet. Wife is on a need to know basis.

When I see an Amazon box on the front patio I just ignore it. I figure she thinks I am on a need to know. Fair is fair.

 

[Madmax]

Just tell her "America is a Rough Town"

Vert, that's hilarious. Makes perfectly good sense to me though.
