Spring clean up week is going on and decided to upgrade my holding containers. When moving things I knew I had a lot of pellets...but dayum! Didn't know this much! And this doesn't include the lead wire for the Corbin press!

There are a TON of 22 pellets and quite a stash of 25. The small bin in the cabinet are the 177 ammo. So clearly I shoot far more 22 ammo than anything else. Ammo brands from Air Arms, JSB, H&N, FX, AEA, and JTS......so think I am good for a while.

Seems I either need to start shooting much more, or get more guns to have fun with.

I know there have been a few of these, but it's always fun to see how people advance further down this hole.

I think I have you beat. It’s hard to say though because I have them dispersed in several locations. I’ve got at least 10k each of .177, .22 and .30, but I think my stock of .25 is about half of that. It’s hard to say though. I found a few tins of .25 Webley Mosquitoes the other day that I had forgotten about.

Yeah that’s the problem 10K shots, for me that’s a week and a half, maybe two weeks of shooting during summer.

I do however not buy ammo in bulk, so mostly 10 tins or boxes of what ever, so when the range cadence really pick up during summer i have to order quite often.
Really i should get my act together and start to buy Zan slugs by the crate / box instead, it is after all just 20 bokses / 2 X the cost of my normal orders, so i should be able to deal with that.

I typically buy ammo when there is a deal or something going on. There is no need, inmy mind to horde buy. That is buying just to buy. The ammo isn't going to go bad, so buy what you need and a little more.

There was a time when I didn't shoot much at all, and there were still ammo deals. So a 4 tin purchase to get a free tin and your good.
