500 rounds of federal personal protection buck 300 round of bird shot 500 rounds of Remington buck <green label> and 100 round of sabot slug penetration.

[BigEd63]

As a minimum 250rds of 00 buckshot 100 slugs and 200 #6 shot.

I'm not much of a shotgun person but believe in having one decent qualiity 12ga pump shotgun around.

Honestly speaking, it depends on what other guns you might depend on in an emergency and whether the shotgun is your first choice. I personally keep a few assorted boxes of shotgun shells availalbe, but I lean toward other weapons in an emergency. So it is a matter of how long you believe you will need the ammo. I think something like 5-shots per day would not be an unreasonable amount... that would be 150 rounds for a month or 6 boxes.

This is probably the best perspective/answer I have read on any of the threads regarding this sort of matter. My user name is tclu1308 and I approve 22rimfire's message.

That said, I must confess I racked up about 1000 points on my Dicks Scorecard last year, and the dutch oven, the air mattress and the 2 boxes of clays only accounted for about 90 of them. Someone else in this forum (I cannot for the life of me recall who) once suggested buying one box of shells whenever they shop somewhere that sells them. In my book, that is a good piece of advice. Sometimes I buy 3 or 4.

There is no such thing as haveing too much of ANY kind of Ammo , or Guns for that matter. If TSHTF , you can always barter with some of it. JUST DO NOT TELL ANYONE WHERE OR HOW MUCH YOU HAVE. If crap starts hitting the wall , they might steal it and for sure would kill you over it. By the way, PLEASE Folks, dont post how much or what you have on here. Big Brother is for sure keeping tabs on us, as well as other web sites like us. It's almost like we are sending them a personal letter to update them about out personal info. They can find your house in a matter of a hour or less using your P/C network. Who knows, even a member on this website might be A Goverment watchhound.

yea but when you landed in Iraq they didn't give you 210 rounds and say "use it wisely cuz thats all you get".

[Icemancometh]

I have a 8 shot Mossberg 500, I currently have 250 "00" Buck, 175 slugs, and about 200 rounds of #6.

[andrew cochran]

See if you can find some of the Remington Game Loads. Get some of the #6 shot.

#6 shot is the All around shot and will take a dove to a turkey, of course squirrels and rabbits.

I'm partial to the .22. It will do the same with small game at a much cheaper price. And a box of 50 cartridges is almost as small as one 12 guage shell. And cost about a dollar and a half for the cheap stuff.

ROFLOL @ "national guard will kill you".....they show up lost in my fathers backyard all the time when on traing missions. they are soooo lost without a clue( even the rangers which train near him )

They can put a trace on every ammo purchuse made with a debt card anyway so unless you always pay cash you are screwed.

Um, isn't that 210 rounds per day? After which you go back to base/camp/wherever, eat & rest up, then get more ammo the next day? In a SHTF situation, there won't be any going to the store for more, what you get is what you already have.

Tee Hee Hee I'm not tell'in tee hee hee.......

[thrillbilly]

[sawnoffshotgun]

So you think armaggeddon is near to. I would keep at least 100 rounds in my house.
