HeavyI like the heft of the bullets. Wonder what it feels like when you have like 1-2K of them all together.

Which election are you talking about? Because Century Arms AKs have been over $450 for like 2 years now..
Dunno, I've got 1.2k .223 rounds including some green tipped steel core rounds...not that heavy. .223 is also insanely cheap. .45 rounds weigh more. Heh.
1000 rounds of .223 is about 28 lbs or so.

I just got in 2400 coated lead bullets; 200 grain, .40 cal. USPS weight on the box says 65lbs. Those are just bullets though, not completed rounds.
My plan is to buy 500 rounds of 9mm and 750 rounds of 5.45x39mm every month. .22LR, too, depending on how much of that I shoot. Those are the only caliber firearms I own.
I might pick up something in 7.62 later. Or maybe even an AR, god forbid.
I've already picked up about 1800 rounds of 7.62 NATO in the last two months.
Not because Obama was going to get re-elected, but because I came across some really good deals.
Just added 1000 rounds of 44 Mag last week, and will get 1000 rounds of 357 Mag this week.6). I'll rebuild my cache of 9mm/.22LR during my weekly trips to Wallyworld.
My last purchase of 223 bullets (FMJBT 55gr) was for 6k bullets and weighed around 48 pounds i think it was.
The 7.62 NATO was from a variety of sources; I paid anywhere from 30 cents/round to 55 cents/round. I don't really like paying more than 50 cents/round, but it was really good new production NATO surplus with some of the best re-loadable brass I've ever seen.How much did you pay for the 44 and 762 NATO?
A 20 round box weighs half a pound, so it's about 40 per pound. If you had 6000 it would be at least 150 pounds.
Well, it seems like he was talking about the bullets only, not loaded ammo..
6000 x 55 Grains=330,000 Grains.
330,000/7000=47 lbs.

Damn, you guys are hoarding up all the ammo. I have only about 200 rounds of .223.
The 44 Mag was part of a package deal with my dream wheel gun; pics are coming shortly. I can't really come up with a price of the ammo individually, but let's just say I picked up an $800 (street price) revolver and the ammo for under $1000.
I'm sure this was covered in the prior threads, but what are you guys using for defensive loads?
I'm using Hornady Critical Defense 9mm rounds and I love the accuracy of the rounds only problem that I face is that it's only 115gr rounds.
I might move onto an Underwood round soon but I"m scared to try to +P+ rounds in the gun but I know people use +P rounds in my gun. (Walther PPS)
Can someone explain how +P and/or +P+ ammo works? I see that theyre the same weight and stuff, so how exactly does it differ?
If you can find it, Federal HST 124gr or 147gr are excellent defensive rounds.I'm sure this was covered in the prior threads, but what are you guys using for defensive loads?
