Twenty two shells are to my ammo stash what rice is to my emergency food supply.  Cheap and easy to buy and put back.

"I have long preached that one should never be caught short in his personal armament, either in regard to the weapons or the ammunition. Keep up your supply, and do not neglect the 22 rimfire, which may well turn into the "ballistic wampum" I have spoken of the past. If you have any loading equipment, stock primers, which may constitute the weakest link in the chain."
Jeff Cooper

I keep making small purchases every month. 150rds. here, 250 rds. there, split a larger order with a co-worker which is a great idea .

Split 1000rds. of something with a co-worker/ friend/ shooting partner, etc,... It makes things somewhat easier.

Although relying on yourself and your own "stash" is paramount, more common calibers will always be available some where to be "bartered" for something. The capitalistic nature of humans is inherent.

Maybe not an emergency seed bank, but something.



I've still got room in the garage for some 45Colt... ::)




How the HELL did you manage to get a photo of my ammo locker?    ???
I love waking up every morning knowing that Donald Trump is President!!

Actually, over the course of the summer I was able to acquire about 10k rounds of .22, and only have shot up about half of it.

It has been dry around here.  Only small amounts of 50 round CCI for $15.00!
