There are many variables to this, and not just temperature and humidity, but where it is stored in relation to other inflammable or explosive materials, whether it should be consolidated or split, that it is integrated into the fire protection plan, secure from burglary or easy seizure. Water leaks and flooding is also a consideration.<br /><br />No storage is perfect, but it should have considerable planning involved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877849.post-61517939739808835432019-05-15T12:05:50.663+10:002019-05-15T12:05:50.663+10:00When I used to get paid on Fridays I would hit the...When I used to get paid on Fridays I would hit the local gun shop and pick up a couple of hundred rounds of ammo in various calibers. When Obama got elected in 2008, you could not find ammo for two years, and when you did, it was expensive. Meanwhile, my wife and kids and myself shot as much as we felt like, and also, made some pretty good trades to people who wanted ammo but couldn't find any to purchase. Stockpiling will always pay off one way or another!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877849.post-67716022762974725892019-05-15T09:18:14.761+10:002019-05-15T09:18:14.761+10:00RE: the above commenter

For years, I've written the year-of-purchase on the boxes/bags of ammo when acquired, then updated my spreadsheet so I know *what* ammo is located *where* (I have all guns and ammo split up between two addresses in case one is not accessible). This way, I can practice responsible FIFO management. It's really easy to maintain, once you go through the first time counting everything. You buy 200 rds?...add them to your list. You consumed 300 at the range?...remove them from the list.<br /><br />It's not rocket science. Anyone who has any stockpile should absolutely know what they have. If you don't, you're questionable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877849.post-91048358914496340432019-05-14T02:25:12.045+10:002019-05-14T02:25:12.045+10:00Important information to remember.

Any one can make black power. Powder and primers will be the first to run short in difficult times. Modern smokeless powder will not work in antique firearms but Black powder works in everything. there is even a new system available to recondition used primers. Never forget it only takes one weapon and skill to upgrade the weapon you have. If I ever run out of bullets I have many weapons that don't use bullets. Just about every one has supplies in their kitchen or pantry to make explosives with if you know how. Magnesium automobile tire rims can be used to destroy armored vehicles if you know how. You would not believe how easy it is to make rocket fuel and mortars.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877849.post-6790556247002643592019-05-14T02:08:47.812+10:002019-05-14T02:08:47.812+10:00If you know how much ammo you have, you don't ...If you know how much ammo you have, you don't have enough.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877849.post-73067963662392168682019-05-13T13:51:07.262+10:002019-05-13T13:51:07.262+10:00Yeah, I didn't read far.
