Deep Stacking

While I don't have the proverbial "ammo fort" made from crates and ammo-boxes, I do have a fair amount of ammo here.

Some of it is from the wild variety of chamberings in the safe.

A thread about the prices of 5.45x39mm made me think about how deep one should stack their ammo supply.

I am happy with how I am doing it.

For the seldom shot guns, a couple of boxes gets me by.

The stuff we shoot a lot, we stock more.

And run out of more...

And it is segregated into what I, jokingly, call training and warshot.

For 9mm the price difference between the carry ammo and the practice ammo is significant.

So we don't shoot that carry ammo as often, just blast through the ammo we'd been carrying occasionally and replace it with fresh.  Not that it's mattered to get fresh ammo, the lint stained stuff has always fired. 

But I would say that if the news were to report on all the ammo here, they'd call it an arsenal or something of the sort.
