How many rounds of 22 did you keep on before Sandy Hook?

[DestructionDan]

Had 30k, have around 18k
Won't ever go below 5500 that fit in a can.
RIP $9 and $15 bricks of 22lr!

None. 0. I must be the only gun owner in the Free World who does not own a .22.

 

[pudly]

Only- no. There are people who only have a single gun. However, if you have any kind of collection and/or want to shoot a lot, then a .22 is almost required.

I thought all people over 50 owned a 22!

 

[Joe G]

Didn't own a 22 in over 20 years... Until Grandpa bought one for my son this Christmas. Been struggling to find ANY that wasn't as expensive as 9mm per shot until recent. Son wants to try Appleseed but can't get enough for him to train on the new gun AND have enough for the Appleseed weekend.

Now that we have a 22 I'll do my best to stock up like I did with my other calibers.

 

[Vince49]

It will catch up with you too Miguel!

Shotguns and pistols from as far back as I can remember but I have never owned a rifle. Carried and shot a lot of rifles in the Army and my wife has a little .22 Llama revolver so I guess there is one.22 in the house. However when I go to shoot what I consider to be a lot it is 9mm and .45 ACP with the occasional box or two of 12ga. I try to get to the range at least once or twice a week and usually go through 150 to 250 rounds a session that is why I got into reloading.

I have somewhere around 30K + in store. I keep them in 50 cal ammo cans.

 

[jdmack79]

I just had all of my .22 out to do an inventory this afternoon.

 

[Bigtanker]

Two bricks is what I always keep on hand. It is usually how much I shot a year. Guess I should have picked up the pace a little earlier than I did. I have 3000 minimum now, which I have.

 

[scootn103]

I pick it up any time i see it as long as it is reasonable , 4k usually

 

[Broom_jm]

Well, this poll has played out about like I expected it would. The silent majority are fine with having something less than 5K rounds of 22 ammo on-hand, while others can be quite vociferous in declaring their goal of having a good deal more than that. God, I love this country!

 

[churchmouse]

We always have 5000 plus on hand but lately we have donated a lot to youth groups.
We are currently under half that for this reason.

The silent majority [STRIKE]are fine[/STRIKE] were fine before this shortage with having something less than 5K rounds of 22 ammo on-hand, while others can be quite vociferous in declaring their goal of having a good deal more than that. God, I love this country!

FTFY

Ammo

I haven't bought any ammo since Sandy Hook. Rearranged the gun safe the other evening and decided to count.
380 auto-----600rds
44 mag----- 1000+ rds
9mm-----------300rds
40 s+w---------150 rds
38 spec.--------325 rds
45 auto----------575 rds
223------------160 rds gotta correct that
22 mag---------250 rds
22 short------175 rds
22long------11500+
Don't have a gun to shoot some of those calibers.
Guess I'll hang on to it, might need it some day.

Reason for so many 22's, when ever I was some place that sold ammo I would always pick up a brick or two.
Not a hoarder because haven't bought one bullet since ammo went crazy.

I have always kept a metric crap ton of .22lr on hand. Having a machinegun that shoots .22 made me keep a lot on hand. I pretty much always pick up a brick any time I find myself at a place that sells such things regardless of what I have on hand.

I wish I did that.

I was stupid, and bought my first .22 rifle a couple months before Sandy Hook. I took it for granted that I could get as much as I want at my local Wal-Mart.

I only have 2 550 round boxes.

I should have stocked up. Heck, I should have stocked up on everything...

 

[Expat]

I had around 15k and may be getting close to 10k here pretty soon. I won't pay current prices. I certainly have learned a lesson about stocking up after this.

 

[Co Th G]

I currently have about 9000 rounds of 22LR on hand.

 

[rockhopper46038]

More than I'm likely to ever need, less than I'd like to have stashed.

 

[davedolli]

Over 5K but we shoot a lot, so never enough.

[hornadylnl]

The exact same down to the very last round.
