Yes - I too have ammo from the 70's. It still has not expired. Wink

I need more, so yes, I'm a member of the club.

It is good to have a large stock of ammo until you decide to move.Ask me how I know.


I built a workshop / gun smithing room a few years ago, and had to move all the ammo and supplies I had in order to build heavy duty cabinets and a workbench. The biggest part of the entire project was just moving the mass of ammo.

I'm budgeting right now for a case each of 9, .45 & 5.56 over the next month or so. >sigh<

The more ammo I hoard the less I shoot. No kidding. I use to have it stacked high but now not so much.

And here I thought we'd settled on the term "Ammosexual".

Haha, I love it. I mean the joke, not the ammo...not that there's anything wrong with that...

I added 2k to my stock of 5.56 and 1k to my 7.62x51 today. Feels better but I'd like to have more, always more.

Very likely caused by the fact that I am finishing up my first build in that caliber.

I'm sure someone does, but who's going to admit that? Wink

Yeah, wish I had that much.
My stash seems puny by comparison.

It just pains me to shoot some of it. I mean 7.62X51 for 18 cents a round when today, it's 17 cents a round just for 22LR.
My 9mm was bought at less than 9 cents a round and the 5.56 at less than 10 cents a round.

That was the early 1990s for you.

Finally I bought something at low and reasonable prices.

I think I have half a box of 9mm around here somewhere.


Or something.

30k? Damn, I'm slacking.

But it is hard to accumulate as much on my budget.

But I'm trying Ringo... I'm trying real hard to be the shepherd.

Got my fix in.

I just ordered a 500rd case of Prvi Partizan 7.62X51.
I have never tried ammunition from Serbia before.
