Ammoholics Anonymous Roll Call

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

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

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.

7.62X51 is expensive these days.

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

Big Green and I would appreciate it if you could control yourself and do such.

I'm a believer like the rest of you but this thread has me wondering...

Does anyone have more than 100K rounds?? I mean before the tragic boating accident...

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

I'm getting ready for a move as we speak. It's not gonna be easy....

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.

well, the defining symptom is are you naked when you play with it? (the ammo, that is) ?

Guilty as as charged.

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.

Got my fix in.

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