I agree with the last post. 500 pistol and 1000-1500 rifle is a good start. i also keep at least 250 00buck stocked with a random assortment of shot as well as a few boxes of slugs, too. 12ga ammo is some of the most prevalent inthe world and will be easy to find.
i also stock pile cases of the federal .22lr ammo. i also shoot the daylights out of my marlin.22 anyways
I also have a marlin.17 hm2 with 500 rounds on hand .
then again, carrying all of this, along with guns, will be very difficult if we have to dip out in a hurry.
From a purely survival standpoint, its wise to have a pellet rifle.
I know that it sounds silly,but i also keep a ton of .177 and .22 air rifle ammo on hand if I need to hunt for food and don't want all of the noise that comes with a powder burner.(to keep your position concealed)also for those pesky squirrells and raccoons too.
i think of having ammo as not only a defensive measure, but for trading and bartering if the world goes down the toilet and we all have to fend for ourselves for water, food and shelter, etc.
This may sound unpopular, but when the fit hits the shan, I expect that the ak47 will become nothing more than a really cool paperweight due to ammo constraints after the dust has settled. look at 7.62 ammo now-hard to get and really expensive. Almost ALL of it is imported. so i keep multiple caliber rifles in my home with enough ammo for all of them. My doctrine has changed in the past 6 months. Instead of buying cool new guns, i now spend that money to keep the ones that i have fed!
stick with the 30-.06, 12 and 20 ga shotgun and .22 lr ammo. .45 acp and 9mm, .38 ammo have all been around for decades and can be found almost anywhere.
just my rant
