No really! Hear me out.
I know what Kipling says about too many books, ammo, and bottles of wine. Yes.
When I started this journey 9+ years ago I had a box of .357. Now I have... more. Like ammo cans, each with a different caliber. Some gotten 9+ years ago that I haven't gotten around to rotating through as practice.
I thought I'd shoot a lot more .357 this time 9 years ago. How am I gonna use up a .50 cal can of Magtech?
I don't get around to shoot rifles much, but I have battle packs of 7.62x51.
The ammo was accumulated slowly, box at a time. And now I feel old. And when I am gone I don't want my relatives to have to deal with all this.
"You aren't old, T-Bolt!" Well, maybe not so. But i have no plans for the next 40 years of what DO with all this.
But I have a wary eye on 2025, when Trump leaves office.
Admit it, even if you hate the man, but are also a gunnie, you breathed a little sigh of relief. With Hillary you try to INCREASE your ammo stocks in case she gets grabby about that. And you know she'd have a go. Whatever his flaws, there is a bit more confidence that that we can relax our alertness level on gun control from Orange to Yellow.
Back to Orange in 2025, maybe. Depending.
Well, I can at least lower the levels of .45. Maybe where I now have two cans of stored Magtech ammo, one of .45, one mixed .38/.357, I can make that just one can in that space in that closet. That sort of thing.
Another thing is I am getting picky about my ammo quality. Want less Blazer more Federal Premium. So use up the more budget stuff.

I hope my relatives leave me with years worth of ammo with matching firearms.
This reminds me of a passage from World War Z. The current survivors of the zombie apocalypse thanking their ancestors for stockpiling weapons and ammunition. There was even a poster described as the older Russian generation handing their weapons over to the next generation.
Last month I took a road trip to visit my son in Arkansas. I brought him 3,325 rounds of ammo (give or take a few rounds) consisting of a combination of 45 ACP, 9mm,7.62x39mm, 5.56x45mm, 22LR, 12 gauge slug, 12 gauge 00 buck, 12 gauge 8 shot. It barely put a dent in my ammo supply. I still have enough left over for the Zombie Apocalypse or years of good times at the range. I still don't think I have enough though!
