Barrels of Ammunition XM855

-In a recent article on AmmoLand News, a case was presented as to why stockpiling of more than a few hundred rounds of ammunition was unnecessary.

It was an interesting take, but much too limited, in my experience. In the end, the authors put in a disclaimer: stockpile as much as you want.

The self-imposed limitations of the presentation were this: They only considered four reasons to stockpile ammunition. They limited the scenarios applicable to those reasons.

Here is a quick critique of the four reasons they listed not to stockpile ammunition:

I stumbled onto a thousand black tip 308 bullets last September and spent all winter loading them into match grade cartridges with my shooting buddy. Next Saturday we are going to test them out with 1/4 and 1/2 in. steel plate targets. Should be a very fun time.

And if that happens even the hoarders won’t survive.
Good luck bartering and surviving with zombies after an EMP attack when everything goes Rwanda.

https://www.aguilaammo.com/rimfire/

Right at the top of that link is a place to become a Aguila Ammo distributor.

I know the whole state of Michigan is open, and someone could control a big territory by getting in on the ground floor.

If I was younger I’d do it in a heartbeat.

Also in the link is free shipping of 5,000+ rounds of 22 rimfire. Heck of a deal.

At under $20 for 500 rounds of .22 LR at Walmart, keeping a cache of 5000 rounds isn’t a big investment. Of course, a prosecutor in a self-defense situation will point out that cache to the grand jury as evidence that the defendant was a trigger-happy racist looking for any excuse to shoot an innocent black man.

I can’t imagine trading any ammo, particularly in a SHTF scenario. I don’t want it heading back at me bullet first, nor do I want anyone to suspect I have excess.

Tell me where you bury it.
After the Zombie hoards get you I would really like to have at it.

I would also like to know what caliber.
(Of course)

Soft point 762 will go through 3/8th plate steel.
I put a rem bronze point though 1/2 inch non tool steel.

I plan to spend the apocalypse searching for the one dude who wants to trade 15 year old Laphroaig for a case of .333 OKH.

Buy it cheap, stack it deep.

And remember, just as with canned food, follow FIFO (first in, first out) practice and use your oldest stock first.

Once you’re past the media’s definition of an “arsenal”, who cares?

Or before...
