Limits on ammunition possession

[Guest grimel]

And you'd best have it stored properly if someone takes a look.

What constitutes stored properly?

[Mark@Sea]

Follow manufacturers recommendations? Dark, below 70 degrees, no ignition sources, etc.

Just a guess, but I have watched this thread with interest.

[Guest Mugster]

Yeah, +1.

Neat and tidy for sure, use common sense. I try to put mine in metal storage cabinets on a concrete floor just to reduce fire risk but thats probably not necessary.

The thing to avoid here is a 5 pound jug of powder on its side spilling out next to your weed eater fuel.

I just bought all the Federal .22 LR the local Wallyworld had, LOL It is only 1800 rounds but the price was decent.

Yup...when the price was $9.97 the guy at the sporting goods counter acctually called me up to tell me that he was going to raise the price to $12 sometime during his shift and will wait for me to show up.

I am glad that the insurance/legal thing only applies to centerfire ammo.

30 minutes later I cleaned them out...35,200 rounds.

can't find them bulk packs around here. I tried 6 different walmarts all around town one day and none of them had any. I also noticed not a one of them had WWB 9mm in 100 round packs either.

35,200 rounds? Holy sh*t and people call me crazy....thats a lifetime of plinking.

How long is that ammo good for?

Will last about 2 years at me and my family's current rate. It really isn't that much if you shoot a lot...many folks shoot that much in .45 to practice for bullseye and such.

We actually plink a lot at the CRC...bring a lot of friends, introduce a lot of people to shooting, etc... Pretty easy to consume 12,000 a year if you are there 4 or 5 times a month. That is the closet...you should see the reloading room.

you should see the reloading room.

so show us<!-- / message -->

+1 on seeing the reloading room.

[nightrunner]

+2 on the reloading room

Yup...on a rainy day like today...this is the best place to be. Trying to figure out the best Alliant 2400 load for some 350gr. 45/70s.

Down to about 15,000 lead bullets these days...kinda low on lead due to the stupid prices (Thus explaining why I buy so many .22lr). We cast a lot at my pop's place across town. Get about 3 or 4 friends over for reloading party every now and then...despite no progressive press...you can crank out quality ammo FAST with 2 good presses and people who know what they are doing.

Nice setup, but you're waaaaaayyy to organized for my tastes.

Check with your fire marshal they can tell you the limit on powder
