Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best calibers to stockpile for SHTF scenarios?

For SHTF preparedness, prioritize .22 Long Rifle (CCI brand), 9mm Luger (124-grain FMJ), 7.62x51mm NATO, 7.62x39mm or 5.45x39mm (steel-cased Russian), and 5.56x45mm NATO (M855 green tip). These offer reliability, availability, and performance for various situations.

Why is CCI .22 Long Rifle ammunition recommended over cheaper options?

CCI .22 Long Rifle ammunition, like Mini Mags, is recommended for its superior reliability and consistent performance, minimizing risks of jams and misfires. While more expensive, this quality is crucial for critical situations where ammunition failure is not an option.

What is the difference between 9mm Luger and 9mm NATO for stockpiling?

9mm NATO has higher pressures and velocities (around 1,260 ft/s) than standard 9mm Luger (around 1,150 ft/s). For stockpiling, 124-grain 9mm NATO or equivalent is preferred for its slight edge in penetration and alignment with military standards, but ensure your firearm is rated for higher pressures.

Should I stockpile 7.62x51mm NATO or .308 Winchester?

For stockpiling, 7.62x51mm NATO is generally preferred over .308 Winchester due to its potential for greater availability in emergencies, lower cost per round, and superior downrange ballistic performance. While interchangeable in many firearms, understanding the pressure differences is key.

Which 5.56x45mm NATO round is best for stockpiling in AR-15s?

The M855 5.56x45mm NATO round, often called 'green tip,' is recommended for stockpiling over the M193. Its 62-grain bullet offers better penetration, optimal stabilization with common 1:7 twist AR barrels, and a higher ballistic coefficient for improved downrange energy.
