How much ammo?

[Elliott]

So I just went through my ammo for all my guns: shotgun, 9mm, .40 s&w, and 30-06. And I realized that besides 600 rounds of .40 I dont have a whole lot of ammo. I have 20 rounds of 9mm ball with maybe 20 hollow points; 20 rounds for the rifle; and maybe 75 mixed rounds for the shotgun eg. 2, 3, 7.5 (40 lead) and one ounce lead slugs.

So my question is how many rounds should one have for their guns; I know you can never have too many rounds, but what is the minimum that you should have?

Well you might want to wait to the prices go down before doing some restocking.

Unless you reload good luck getting ammo for some of what you listed. then even good luck getting bullets to reload with went looking yesterday
.38/357 zero available
.451 zero available
22cal zero available
 Ole Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard and the cupboards were bare fro resupply
Just glad I have at least 750 loaded already for everything I own

In Whatcom County Ithink only Big5 has more then 3 calibers.270 win 12 gauge slugs
 And 410 rounds.Tulalip Cabelas has the most ammo I have seen lately.

All the calibers you mentioned are available depending on where you live.  I know Skagit Arms has a bunch of those in and the local Wal Mart.  The calibers that are not in are .556 / .223. .308 and .22 shells.  They are coming in sporatically and going quickly.  .9mm and .45 will sit on the shelf for only a few days then it's gone until the next shipment.

If you have claim to have to much ammo the news media would have a field day with you.

I don't think there is a set amount to have. I did the same thing and went through my safe. I got 40 rds. of .270, 45 rds. of .243, 750 12 gauge shells, 350 rds. of .380, 1600 rds. of 9mm, and about 4000 rds. of .22. I will buy more if it's a good price.

How much ammo should you have? At least one more box.... 

[Special T]

Combat load for an infantry man in war is aprox(10 clips) 300 rnds of .223 and 4 clips of sidearm 90rnds 9mm.

[thatkidwho]

At least 1.5 billion rounds for each caliber. I get all my preparedness tips from DHS and FEMA because When SHTF they'll be ready and so will I.

I try to be able to load all my mags for all my guns at LEAST twice...but I have alot of mags

As it stands right now, if you want to start a stock pile of anything................good luck. 
Back door gun control if you ask me.

Watch the 2012 version of red dawn, that should give you some idea's for an answer to your question.  If that is not enough think of our current dictator Mr O'bummer's attempts at disarming america.  Stock up while you can and it is still not manditory to give your name and address everytime you buy a box of 22 shells.  I believe that society as we know it is not going to survive the onslots of well meaning idiots.

But all I need is ammo...
