Good info. I have a gunsmith tool box that came with the wrests to put a gun on. If I remove the tray it comes with, the box will hold 78 full 30 round mags of .223 That comes out to 85 pounds, or 2340 rounds

Pretty much same here but would come out swinging with 7.62x39 since thatā€™s what Iā€™m set up for (PWS) BUT, instead of humping two different rifle rounds AND a pistol round,Iā€™ve been thinking of getting an upper chambered in .223. Iā€™m just not sure (God forbid) how long I could be on the run with a shit load of ammo and Iā€™m pretty damn sure thereā€™s going to be check points set up on the highways.

Primarily I would carry 5.56 and 45acp but I would have an assortment of a small quantities of 7.62,9mm .38 , ext. To feed a wider variety of weapons that I could come across.

While not as deeply stocked as some of you. A couple K each of assorted 5.56, .45acp and 9mm. Ample .308 both loaded and components.
And enough brass, lead, primers, 2400 and Unique to keep three .44 Mag barrels warm for a long, long time. :wink:

Amen brother. Federal has great rebates right now. I recently scored some Lake City 5.56 for $0.25/round and Blazer Brass 9mm for $0.14/round from PSAā€¦with free shipping. If the price is right, just buy it! Youā€™ll be glad during the next panic shortage (2020 elections perhaps).

We do not stockpile ammo, it degrades. I have 5k rim fire ammo. 500rds 30-06, the rest is in the 100s.
Now reloading suppliesā€¦ 100 pounds of various powders 15,00 primers. Just 30-06 12,000 Lake City virgin standard cases and 2000 match. I have 500 OO buck, and do not have a shotgun.
