Message: <blockquote data-quote="aarondhgraham" data-source="post: 4152217" data-attributes="member: 13337">I like to have a minimum amount of each caliber ammo I use,,,The number is quite arbitrary and just reflects what I might shoot in a years time.I call it a "Bench Stock" amount,,,My norm for centerfire is a 3-year shooting supply.For .22 LR ammo,,,I like having a LOT more than that.A few years back a friend wanted to buy .22 rifles for his two kids,,,But he was reluctant because he could find the rifles,,,But he couldn't find ammo to purchase,,,More than 3 boxes at a time.But since I had over 60,000 rounds squirreled away,,,I loaned him 5,000 rounds to be replaced,,,Which he did about 2 years later.Once I reach that bench stock amount,,,I only replace it as I use it up.I like having 3,000 rounds on-hand for my 9mm,,,When I open a 500 round pack of it,,,I order another one to replenish.I never want to repeat those Obama summers,,,Where I was scrambling to find one box of .22 LR ammo.I remember seeing push-shove matches at Wal Mart,,,All over a 550 round bulk pack of Federal.Never again.Aarond.</blockquote>
