Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended amount of defensive ammunition to stockpile per firearm?

For your primary carry gun, home defense firearm, and primary rifle, it's recommended to stockpile between 50 to 100 rounds of defensive ammunition. This quantity is sufficient to load your firearm's magazines multiple times.

How much practice ammunition should be stockpiled, and why?

You should aim to stockpile approximately 1,000 rounds of ball ammunition (like Full Metal Jacket) for each primary firearm. This is because practice ammo is significantly cheaper, allowing for more training, and it's what military forces use for widespread engagement.

Why is ball ammunition preferred for large stockpiles over defensive ammunition?

Ball ammunition is preferred for large stockpiles due to its significantly lower cost compared to defensive ammunition. This cost-effectiveness allows for extensive practice, which is crucial for proficiency, while still maintaining a smaller, adequate supply of more expensive defensive rounds.

What is the key to an effective ammunition stockpile?

The key to an effective ammunition stockpile is achieving a balance. This means having enough defensive ammunition for immediate needs and self-defense scenarios, while also having a substantial quantity of cost-effective ball ammunition for regular training and practice.
