How much ammo do you keep on hand?
After the last panic buy I started keeping a stockpile. Sitting on 3177 rds of .380 ACP and 1925 rds of .308 Win. Some guys keep way more.
What's your number? And don't say "not enough" lol

Good looking out for sharing this deal. Just ordered one.
How long have you had yours? Any reliability issues?
I keep what I call a "reasonable stockpile" - enough for training, hunting seasons, and some put away for lean times. Probably 5-6k rounds total across all calibers. After 24 years in the Army I learned you can never have too much ammo when you need it, but you also don't want to be the guy with a basement full of cases he'll never shoot.
Those are solid numbers. I try to keep 1k rounds per gun minimum but realistically sit around 2-3k for my main calibers. .223/5.56 I've got about 4500 rds, 9mm around 3000, and maybe 800 .45 ACP. Living out here in AZ desert means I can shoot whenever so I burn through more than most folks.
