I don't know if you are storing those boxes stacked up but if you are you might want to rethink that, especially if you don't shoot much.

No, I put them on their sides in an ammo can.
 
Some folks believe stacking your ammo will push the lead deeper into the bullet creating more case pressure.

Another scary scene... is this where we are headed? Pulling up floorboards??

Ammo stockpile found in house

June 23 2009 at 07:12PM

A tip-off led to the discovery on Tuesday of ammunition stockpiled in a house in Westdene, Johannesburg, Gauteng police said.

A total of 1800 rounds and six magazines for an R1 rifle, 100 R5 assault rifle rounds, two smoke grenades and one flare grenade were found after police pulled up the floorboards of the Seymour Street house, said spokeswoman Senior Superintendent Noxolo Kweza.

The owner of the house lived outside the province. He had been renting it to five people who had been living on the premises for a month.

Kweza said the five men were questioned but had not known about the ammunition. Police had no suspects at present. - Sapa

No suspects? So now it's illegal to hide ammo under your floorboards? I'm assuming that if the five men living there didn't know anything about it then the previous owner must have.

Well the story leaves out the fact that he was declared mentally incompetent by the court and was forbidden from owning firearms.

The arrest warrant included things related to the sale of cocaine.


That's what he was arrested for, the media just loves to play up the sensationalism.

He was NOT arrested for having 80,000 rounds of ammo.

Did you read it? That happened in South Africa.

You guys need to slow down, take a breath and relax a little :)

I actually had that happen to a 45 ACP FMJ round that was the first in a mag that I CCed for awhile. I guess chambering the round repeatedly day after day made that happen. I still have the round sitting on the shelf next to my ammo boxes, was afraid to try to use it at the range. I try to get to the range at least weekly now, that way a round will only be in the top of the mag for a week.
 
I haven't taken any new pics in a while, but here's some from a while ago. I've picked up some and shot some since.

Today I have more brains than Ammo. It's usually the other way around. Not picture worthy.
 
Don't move to South Africa or get declared mentally incompetent and you be OK.

FOR NOW, mwahahahaha,

P.S. My "stockpile" of 7 different calibers would fit into a small backpack. It sucks.
 
Only have 1,500 .22.
6,800 7.62x39 (includes recently traded 1,900 rds. of .223 for 2,000 x39 in TX).
1,800 7.62x54R.
About 1,500 .303, but have no camera/computer skills.

The only ammo bought after the election is x54R, .303 and .22.
Why did so many people wait and allow themselves to be pushed into a corner with the more popular calibers?
Did they not know that the presidential election might easily put a Dem. in the White House?
