Just curious how much rimfire ammunition you keep on hand or stock pile?

I'm upwards to 10k rounds stored under my desk, and still pick up a box every week or so.

Gotta love shooting that is cheap and fun.

I usually have around 10 bricks of American Eagles, so 4000 rounds, plus some random federal bricks and boxes of 100 CCIs-CBs, stingers and such. You do the math.

wildhobby, looks like we think alike....

dont have any recent pix of the whole 22LR stash, but have stumbled into a few good deals over the last few years on LR's.

last year i used my bass pro credit card as my company card, to get the "bonus points" they offer, then i turned those into free stuff. (usuually ammo).

right after christmas i went down & got 16 bricks of Win subsonic HP for about what i'd normally pay for 2 bricks. already had a pretty good stash of that stuff, but now have a real good stash. hard to turn down free ammo.

my last purchase of 17Mach2 eleys, in case we are ever overrun by zombie rats & squirrels. (couple boxes if 22mags laying there too).

I'm in the 5000 round crowd but it never hurts to have more.

Never without thousands (and thousands) of rounds of various 22 fodder here. Another old habit that is unbreakable.

When folks at our club were whining about "no 22 ammo" a coupla years ago, I had plenty. Ya snooze, ya generaly lose, but I was gentleman enough to share, depending on who needed it. Kids got plenty. ;O)


If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

Last I checked, I was around 12k rounds. I've been drawing down my stocks of older cheap bulk .22lr and restocking lesser quantities of pricier specialty ammo instead. I try to keep at least 1 brick of every bulk ammo type, and 100rds of most specialty .22s (subsonic,standard velocity, hyper velocity,etc).

My son used to shoot 20,000 a year, all aimed and spotted through a single shot rifle, so I keep that many around. It's only 4 cases.
