Top 10 Calibers You MUST Stockpile Before 2025 - Don’t Miss Out!

[@kenz1439]

Keep it simple, you stockpile for the equipment you own or plan to. Some very common calibers not listed here---22WMR (mag) 44 mag 30.06 Springfield 30-30 20 guage

[@Iceberg050]

All calibers I own and have stockpiled! Good point!

My whole family has been stockpiling since then-Governor Ronnie Ray-Gun brought gun control to California and ended open carry.

[@donl4914]

I'm just going to continue to stock what I use. Reload what I can when primers and supplies are available. Anything more than that is just for barter.

I agree😊

[@willmartin792]

22 cal... 9mm... 12 gauge shot gun.. 223/556 .. 38 special.. 45acp.. 30-06. those are just some...

[@GuyMorris-n4d]

Superb choices I must say.

[@davidr1676]

[@charlesbrandt5205]

30-30, 308, 30-06, 12 gauge, 44 mag, will be getting more. Not crazy about 9mm.

[@brianmarsh6592]

My personal opinion on this matter is to stockpile ammunition (and take up reloading too) is to stockpile several pistol rounds for 9mm, .22lr, .45ACP, 10mm, .38 SPL, .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum and.380 ACP (plus any ammunition needed for any pistol or revolver you may own not included in the above list). For rifles I suggest.223/5.56 mm, .308 and 7.62x51 NATO, 7.62x39mm, 30/30, .30-06 plus 12 gauge 00 buck and slugs plus bird shot and #4 shot. (Again add ammunition for any long guns you might have). The amount of each should be a minimum of 500 rounds for any of the calibers you don’t currently own, and for the ones you do own, the amount should be enough for 5 years of your current use and extra for 9mm and 5.56 NATO. There’s no magic number but you must get as much as you can afford. You will need other things in case of a natural or manmade disaster. Take care of yourselves and your loved ones. Do not advertise your stockpile however for obvious reasons including security concerns but not limited to this. Oh, don’t forget the magazines for the firearms that use them. Never too many magazines for 9 mm and 5.56 NATO firearms

My priority is OPSEC and not telling a bunch ATF agents and some random AI reader what I'm putting back. I don't disagree with anything said in this video, but I also look at the simplicity of the firearm as an issue. 10,000 rounds of .223 is useless if your AR-15 doesn't run.

No 30-30, common as hell. 7.5X55 I've never seen for sale anywhere around here.

[@warmothgmc]

Well, I stockpile for the firearms I have. At the very minimum, I try to maintain a full can of every caliber I have; and top them off after range trips. They include .22LR, .25 ACP, .38 Special, .357 Magnum, 9mm, 10mm, .45 ACP, 30-30, .223/5.56, .308, 7.62 x 39, and 12 gauge. I’m currently thinking of adding another pistol to my collection that would require adding .380 ACP to the mix. Also been thinking of adding a .44 Magnum lever gun as well.

Only if you own a rifle chambered in 30-06. I've owned a .338 Win Mag for nearly 50 years, so I stockpile .338 Win Mag. .223/5.56 is not always good for Medium Sized Game in some States that caliber restrict for Big Game Hunting (even Whitetails) like Commierado.

[@harrisdail9939]

common sense says to stockpile of the calibers of weapons you own

[@randylangton1932]

Is it me or do a lot of gun and ammo channels put videos out saying you need to stockpile ammo that say the same thing? They all say we need to stockpile every year since 2020 ammo shortage. They all say basically the same cartridges. But you should definitely stock up on the calibers you own. I think everyone in the USA should own a 12 gauge or at least a 29 gauge, a handgun preferably a 9mm or 40 cal and a 22lr rifle. I think these 3 are the basic firearms all USA citizens should own. I have plenty of ammo for each caliber I own. If for some reason I have to bug out, it'll be a bitch to move all my ammo but I do have a way.

[@mr.c1580]

You have a Red Wagon? 😂

[@P3t0512]

What in the blue-blazes is 29 gauge?

[@dbrown1908]

I believe you are meaning a 28 gauge shotgun. Great dor hunting smaller game but would only five a stinger to qho you shoot. The weapon caliber that may be effective are those most people will not loot when they ovwrcome a gun store. .38 be left behind. .45 acp be left behind initially. .22lr...this video is noise. They are right about food on-the-go table. My question...in most of todays world, they are not thinking about food on their table unless these individuals are cannibals.

[@alfredweaver5390]

Vacuum sealing ammo is my personal preference.

[@ClarenceCochran-ne7du]

An option for sure, but keeping it cool and dry is all that's really needed. My Grandfather passed away in 2013, I inherited both his firearms and his small stockpile of .22 LR and 12 gauge. In his stockpile we're boxes of .22 LR dating back to the early 50s. It fired perfectly fine, though a few rounds did require a second primer strike. The only thing special Grandpa did, was keep his Ammo Cool and Dry the last 60 or 70 years of his life.

[@MrRdvs87]

I would have agreed with the 7.62x39 thing for the longest of time but in recent years, the caliber and the AK market have gone in the wrong direction. Then, the 7.5x55 Swiss? I get that liking the round would make you want to get a lot of it but, it occupies the same spaces that .308 does.

[@billybudd6776]

22lr ,06, 12 ga, 7.62x39, 44 mag, 9mm, 45 auto, primers and brass I have more than I will ever use plus roll my own. Unfortunately most places won't let me advertise.

[@briantadlock4356]

They call that mass Hysteria if it comes down to having to move two tons of guns ammo food water at a seconds notice.To being mentally trained to survive off basic hunting knowledge with your tools if choice.bow or gun.you only need one gun enough ammo to take out one or two to capture a whole new supply food and water is everywhere.but if it's nuclear there's no amount of preparation that will save you from radiation poisoning.so stock piling large amounts of ammo is not only a waste of money and dangerous it's a waste of time.

I have a huge supply of 8mm ammo for all my war collectable weapons.

[@Yorktown-pb8bd]

I would not get the swiss cartridge here in the united states. The 30-06 is way more common. Lots of 30-06 rifles out here military and just hunting bolt actions. It has more power than the swiss cartridge. 30-06 can be loaded to take moose and grizzly bear easily. Kodiak and Polar bears have been hunted successfully over and over again with the right loadings in 30-06. Sure a 338 magnum, 375 magnum, or a 458 win mag might be better but the 06 can get it done with 200 grain and heavier bullets. I don't know about the 40 smith and Wesson? The rest of it looks good. See how things go with the .277 fury coming up. The new military round. It has good use as a hunting round. Like a 270 winchester.

[@robertonavarro7713]

Also how much ammo can you carry if you have to frequently travel on foot from one location to another. I was thinking of a Mad Max scenario where gasoline is scarce. Me, maybe I’ll just stockpile 22LRs where I can easily carry a thousand rounds.

[@aaaaa1957]

One of the best calibers that doesn’t get mentioned much or usually at the bottom of the list is the 5.7. It better than the 22lr and 9mm combined. Depending on which brand you choose it out performs most every other caliber for personal protection. It’s capable of penetrating body armor and bullet proof glass. The 9mm falls Short in both these categories. It out performs 22lr in every category. One of the reasons I really came to depend on the 5.7 is weight, you can carry 500 rounds in your front pants pockets without any stress at all and unlike the undependable 22lr round I’ve never in about 18 years never ever had a single misfire. That’s over 100,000 rounds without a single issue. The 22lr is known for misfiring, bad primer strikes and a mess of other issues. Some people might complain that the price of 5.7 is too high compared to the 9mm. In this case that means 357, 44, 50 and a slew of larger calibers are not worth buying, they would be wrong. People use to complain that the 5.7 was too rare, not anymore because it now comes in over a dozen platforms. All you really need is 4 calibers. 22lr for small game hunting not protection ( you can use it but it too undependable ), 5.7 for personal protection, AK for protection and game up to 300 yards. Shotgun 12 gauge with different ammo choices. 00buck, bird shot, slugs and a couple of personal choices. Then build from there. Add a true hunting rifle, my preference 3030 Winchester 270 Remington. At this point I’m good to go. Anything more is just dead weight. Now food and supplies.

[@ClarenceCochran-ne7du]

A Subjective Opinion. Frankly, I can't see the point. It's way more expensive than it should be for what it is. The really good, top performing 5.7 x 28 Ammo is restricted for sale to the civilian market.

Here's the thing, if you don't own a firearm in these 10 calibers, then there's no point in stockpiling these calibers. Unlike some, the very last thing I'd ever sell or barter is a Firearm/Ammo. Only a fool would sell/barter something that can be used against you. Stockpile the ammo for the guns you have and use, not for the guns you want to own.

[@Beer_Me]
