I’m sending the wife to a nearby on line ammo store in person. I have lots of .223, but need more 7.62x54R, 7.62x39R, .308/7.62x51N and some 9x19mm and 9x18mm.

Most of my x39 and x54 is steel case and not reloadable...

Steel is reloadable, but less than ideal. The Berdan priming is more problematic.

“I have lots of .223, but need more 7.62x54R, ...”

What’s enough? What is lots?

If I have 200 rounds for each handgun and each shotgun; am I in ok shape?

I bought most of it for y2k, do I have to worry that any of it has gone bad?

What is the best test to see if moisture has affected any rounds or shells outside of firing it off?
