I just saw a bunch of once fired brass for sale but it was $2 each. I have nothing clever to put here.

I think a good place to start would be 300 rounds of my 308 hunting ammo 300 round of my pheasant ammo #4&5 with a few #6 incase I feel like smaller birds. 100 slugs 1000 trap loads 7.5 or 8 5000 rounds of 22lr 3600 rounds of 9mm target ammo 500 rounds carry ammo 9mm 2000 rounds of 223 100 rounds of buckshot multiply that by 10 for 10 years worth that would be a nice place to start I don't actually shoot very much buck shot but it seems like a nice thing to have a bit of around America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

It always sells, if you need to lighten your stash gun shows around here have the worst price on ammo most of it is sale price ammo from walmart , farm and fleet or any other store that sells ammo marked up. we have a few gun shops around that will run decent fair prices on ammo and farm stores like fleet farm keep ammo prices fair if you really dislike online.
