Ammo surplus

[smithers599]

I shoot between 5-10 thousand rounds a year. So, if I stockpile 10000 rounds, that could last a year or two. If Biden wins, the supply will dry up forever, and whatever I have stockpiled on Election Day will have to last me the rest of my life. If I only live another year or two after that, then my stockpile will be sufficient. If I live another 20 years, then my stockpile will only allow me to shoot 250-500 rounds a year. Fortunately, if Biden wins, my life expectancy probably won't be much longer than a year or two, tops, so I've got that going for me.

Great way to be optimistic!

I have more ammo than I can shoot (recreationally) in a few years. But not nearly enough to be a defensible position should it come to it. I have enough components on hand to augment but not restock a fire team.

Static positions are not defensible for very long... even in olden days castles and cities came under siege and eventually fell. Your bunker may keep you safe from the zombie hordes but not from the govt for very long... at best it is an extended stay Custer's last stand...
Anaconda ring any bells?

unfortunately, most of us old guys can hardly walk anymore let alone keep on the move with a BOB and necessary gear... so static defense is the only viable option...

Fixed fortifications are a monument to the stupidity of man

I seem to never have enough, and never can quite pry the money loose to buy more than a couple k at a time.

I had been liking buy more when I burn down to about 1k of the common calibers that I use at the range. That way I always have a minimum that I can comfortably go to the range with and still have a some lying around.

Though now I seemed to have worked myself into a situation where I want to buy more ammo, but don't want to pay the current prices. I guess I did not take the lesson stock up when it was cheap(er) to heart, and was hoping we were past all of the runs on ammo nonsense as political tides fluctuate.
