The two cans of Romanian 8mm on strippers I ordered from AIM Surplus arrived today and I wound up taking an impromptu ammo inventory as I tried to find a place to put it. It turns out I have:
.30-'06 - about 1,000 rounds of CMP USGI M2 ball. Some in clips and bandoliers in cans, some in clips in cans, most in cartons. There's also the 300 or so rounds of FN made ball on .30 MG links. I also have a couple of loose loaded bandoliers and one partially loaded cartridge belt. I'm probably set for awhile, but I should buy more from the CMP while they have it, just on general principles.
7.62 Nato RG- I'm still working on the case of Radway Green I bought a few years back. I've probably got 600 or so rounds left from the 1,000 round case. The ammos in 20 round boxes that unfortunately were sliced open for inspection at some point. I was able to empty out a partial 280 round can of .30 - '06 by consolidating two cans. This allowed me to fill the can with 280 rounds of the 7.62 RG. The rest filled out the empty half of a 5,000 case of .22 Federal I bought from the CMP. There's still some odd 20 round boxes here and there, but most of it's now in one place.
7.62 Nato Australian - I have two 200 round cans of ball on strippers in bandoliers. I was going to buy another can or two, but it appears to have dried up. Anyone got any leads?
.30 Carbine - One 1080 round can of GI ball in stripper clips in bandoliers, minus one bandolier, and one can of 1350 rounds of GI ball in cartons, minus about 100 rounds. If the CMP ever gets any more .30 Carbine, I should buy more.
5.45 Russian - Most of a 1,000 round case of commercial ammo. I need to find a can to repack it in.
.303 Brit - Two 50 round bandoliers of Brit ball on strippers from AIM surplus a few years back. Another 50 rounds of S&B.
6.5x55 Swede - 80 round of Igman commercial I just bought from AIM. About 120 strippers in boxes to go with it. I should get some surplus while it's still around.
I'm not even going to get into the handgun ammo. I shoot that more and tend to burn through and restock more quickly anyway, so inventory is always a problem. I know I have 150 + rounds of Federal 9BP 9mm and at least a box or two of .38 +P HP's and a partial box of 124 gr .357's. The target stuff I buy as needed from Sprawl Mart.
So, what's in your ammo locker?
