Top 10 tips for Stockpiling your ammo stash

[@EZ_Case]

I don’t know why but for some reason when I read the title I read “ Top 10 tips for Shoplifting your ammo stash”. It almost made me spit my coffee out. 🤣

[@DC4EVA]

😢😢😢 walmarts 200 round 9mm boxes for $35 😟☹️😢😭😭😭😭 MISS THEM DAYS!!!

[@wanderingcalamity360]

For real. Used to pick up an extra box of ammo and some extra rice/beans/oats, bandages, etc... Each grocery trip as part of my preps. Wish I had done more and had been smarter about it, because everything is so expensive now.

[@unclefreedom213]

God I miss those days

[@jimhovater8755]

I remember Rem-UMC .223 at Walmart for $3/20rd box.

[@TeranRealtor]

Just got back from Walmart....... I should have read your whole post before jumping in the car....... (just kidding)

[@davidhawkins847]

$100 got you 250 rounds of Win 9mm and a 150 round box of 55g 5.56 Federal. Now days, I have a min 1 hour wait and tons of paperwork to pick up just 1 box of ammo.

[@davehein7466]

I buy one or two boxes of bulk ammo each week. The calibers I buy, dictate what I shoot (first priority), and more to add to my stash. Slow & steady is the way to do it!

9mm standard and +P 124 grain hollow point and FMJ for training,hunting,hard barriers, 357 magnum all types of rounds for lever action and revolvers,12 gauge buckshot and slugs,30-30 for hunting,556 and .308 for self defense and if you can 30-06. All the weapons you need to fire the ammo plus parts,cleaning kits,and accessories. That’s pretty much what you will need if shtf.

[@AntonioRodriguez-bd1sd]

Thank you Uncle Freedom for that valuable info.! Awesome channel.! God Bless You and Your Love Ones.!

[@mac7977]

Thanks for tips, I also recommend if you reload to stock up on primers, brass & powder. I'll not go through what happened during Covid. I keep a couple thousand primers for each cartridge now. Also don't try all at once as Uncle Freedom recommended. Great info, I usually watch each video a few times to take notes. Especially his medical training videos.👍🏽

[@adamrodgers2377]

New Sub here and I absolutely love your Video's! Thank you!!!! Between my Girlfriend, Daughter and myself we, all 3 of us shoot about 20,000 rounds of Center-fire Ammo a year (Reloading is FUN and relaxing) and probably 12,000 to 15,000 rounds of Rim-Fire ammo. We have over the past year and a half started shooting more 22lr because I got into long range shooting the 22lr and we have AR's and Pistols that are Clones of our Full Size stuff so we still get training in while shooting our 22's. Its not 💯 but it keeps our fundamentals on point. All the new folks, listen to what this Man is saying, he knows his shit. 🤙🏻

[@NotAWendigo]

My only argument for stocking fmj as your primary choice is that most of us cant drop a small fortune on a range day. I love vmax, but it costs 30.99 a box near me. 8 mags of vmax costs $371. I cant put enough rounds down range to prove it works good for me since 1 range day would cost 400 dollars after range fee, gas, ect. I can buy pmc m193 for 10.99 a box, bringing that price down to $131. This ammo is reliable and accurate in my guns and wont make me homeless trying to prove this through range days.

[@paulschmidt1247]

I’m 100% in agreement with you.

[@KylerLikesGuns]

As always, great video man

[@AntonioRodriguez-bd1sd]

I was thinking of buy 1000 fmj 5.56 form the start, just to have to practice and then buy ever pay check some really good defense ammo. I would like to read your suggestions. Thank for this great video full of info with no BS the people. I see your channel with more than 200k subscribers soon. God bless you and your family and everyone who is watching.

[@unclefreedom213]

By all means FMJ for practice get good ammo when you can and build your stocks up. Shoot for 4 mags at first then 7 mags then 10

[@SHOTRED555]

Very interesting information.I'm curious why FMJ's stocking up is bad. The green tip video you had me realize its actual performance. Not many people are talking about this type of knowledge on ammo. Also I always done the same thing you do like buying some ammo here an there stocking up.

[@badgirlclub4712]

Fmj stocking isn't bad. Don't let him fool you that 20 rounds of the "good stuff" is better than 100 rounds of fmj. I'm not saying buy crap. I'm saying I can get 2-3x the federal fmj's than their hst's.

[@BasedDeano]

Making a lot of sense. I want more ammo but that definitely means I want ammo that works reliably.

[@CLP1974]

Keep them coming

[@matd401]

Love the coffin joke! Totally agree!😆

[@Yuracirlce]

Yeah I do like $150 a week on ammo. That way it doesn’t break the bank and i can slowly build up. Especially when yin can find a good deal in certain calibers. Great info man

[@djstaycool7418]

Great viewpoints. Completely agree on almost, if not all of it. Ammo isn’t something you acquire once. It’s a constant Ying and Yang. What I shoot today I need to replace for tomorrow. What may be easily available today may not be 6 months or a year from now. Best of them all and what drives me insane (or creates buying opportunities) is when someone buys a new rifle and only shoots the cheapest shit on planet earth and then sells it for not being sub MOA. When I get a new rifle, I’ll buy the cheap stuff for barrel break in to see if I get lucky for a cheap load to group well. But I’ll also buy 5+ “premium” loads for that caliber to test out the barrel length and twist rate to see what it “likes”. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen guys sell GREAT guns because “I couldn’t get it to group well”. When I ask, “what did you shoot to test it with?” The answer is almost always 55gr 556 / 147 or 149 gr 308 or 120gr 6.5 CR. When I follow up with “did you try any other loads to see what it likes?” The response is almost always “that’s what I have stock piled so if it doesn’t like that round, why would I buy something more expensive.” To which I’ll reply “makes sense, how much are you selling it for and how many rounds have you put through it?” One man’s loss is another man’s gain… You can’t fix stupid… technically you can and you could but the question is should you? Looking forward (and backwards) at your other content. God bless!!!

If I can't reload it, I usually don't buy it. I have a little bit of steel ammo. Since I handload / reload and use a Tactical Brass Recovery. Check those out if you reload or for range rules, also let's you move it aside to clear malfunction with zipper on bottom.

[@nickibateson1466]

Another great vid

[@richardthomas6602]

Military requires FMJ. During CQB it is common practice to shoot 3 to 5 rounds into every torso engaged. With quality hunting rounds, hunters typically only require 1 to 2 rounds to kill a deer. Quality hunting rounds may cost more but they also are more cost effective as well as delivering faster incapacitating wounds.

[@cabragooncabulous4082]

If youre in a cqb? (which ya should try not to be.) you are going to pull the trigger the same # of times and ya would a JHP. Ya can buy a quality fmj without spending on a massive jhp. Have some yes. But 10k rnds in jhp for a just in case?

It seems that me and you seem to have very similar views on things. Keep kicking ass

[@jjgriffin3275]

i hear you on about 99% of what you said.....BUT Lecturing people is probably NOT the best. buy some ammo once per month is a great practice. for cost of bulk nothing wrong is stocking FMJ whether its for pistol or rifle. i actually suggest stocking fmj's over other stuff for several reasons, performance and cost. if i can get 1000 fmj for same cost as 500 hp, then fmj it is. stock piling is for when W3 starts or Zombies, so worrying about shooting into neighbors house is not even a thing. now if your stock piling for hunting or self defense in your bedroom then sure get expanders, but once the war starts or outside of your bedroom you might want something a little different. but again at what cost and benefit. i have 1st hand experience seeing what a FMJ does to a living object and it had great performance, not saying something else would have been better but it did great also. in todays world - 9mm, 223/556, 22LR, 308 is what should be stock piled. in NOT on the bandwagon of stocking shotgun ammo as way to bulky and heavy and doesnt make sense to stocking rifle rounds. this topic always leads into stock piling other things bc if your going to stock pile 10K rounds of ammo that means you are preping your home to defend as your castle and your not going anywhere, so you will need to stock pile everything you need to live on when the War or Zombies Start! (cough cough TP)

I go out and shoot alot but I only shoot like 150-250 rounds per trip making sure everything is zeroed and plinking a little and working on the fundamentals I feel like getting out to shoot more often is better than shooting a crap ton of ammo very rarely.. I try to go once a week but sometimes it's 2 weeks before I can get out again

In my younger days I used to be concerned with all these intricacies of ammo stockpiling. Now I have only one technique. Buy it cheap and stack it deep. 😂

[@optimumperformance]

Don’t forget to get reloading and store up components

[@Al13n1nV8D3R]

When I goto the range and plan to shoot one box of 9mm, then I buy two boxes of 9mm before i go home. When I shoot ten boxes of 556, I buy twenty boxes of 556 to take home. That has been the mantra I live by. I rotate and use my old ammunition first and work my way to the newer stuff so non of my ammo gets too old. The ammo I store long term is in steel 50cal ammo cans with good rubber seals and make sure there is dessicant inside them.

[@unclefreedom213]

This is the way i built up a ton as well

[@dezracr]

[@jarroddivens8339]

So the question is... Is it better to have 1,000rds of cheap steel fmj or 500rds of good defense ammo.

Someone actually said that that DONT have 10k rounds??? That blows my mind.

[@2leftfeet113]

So fun fact I live in CA, where we have to do background checks for ammo. I moved to a different number apartment and now I can't buy ammo legally anymore until I buy a new ID. Yes there's a lot of stupid crap that can affect ammo availability. Also I'm saving the crap outta that link thanks man.

[@joeyphillips1181]

Stocking rounds for all your calibers isn't always easy but most people mostly focus on 9mm, 556, 308, 12 gauge and 22.. I focus on 556, 9mm, 10mm, 357 mag, 40, 7.62×39, 308 & 12 gauge and it's not easy lol

What do you think of the Federal Punch ammunition?

it's an interesting bullet, it's not the same as a hst and it doesn't perform as well through barriers. But it's not bad as long as you know that ain't gonna do what I want through glass so I need a better shot it's good

Ammo and high quality OEM magazines! ETS, magpul Glock mags, pro mag, and any other off name manufacturer that is trying to make Glock or sig mags is fucking you over when it really counts. No different than high quality ammo, the mags that feed those seeds are no less important!!

[@JohnGotti256]

Hmmm never thought of that

[@fin59shaw]

I agree with your point, to get quality mags. You can't go wrong with OEM, but I've never had any issues with Magpul or ProMags.

[@paladin556]

I agree to a point. The pmags are the tits for glock in my opinion. I have been using them on range days and events and have had no issues. Ets are decent too. Surprisingly I have had issues with glock factory 10 rd mags from commie states. But mine is a sample size of one, I realize that. I don't trust anything but factory mags for my edc, but for the range, yeah I'm gonna buy the pmags. Promag does suck. I have had failures with every one of them before I knew better. Same thing with the "asian military" whatever it is brand. Rwb is kinda crappy too. But bottom line, test things for yourself. Use your own experiences and get your own data.

[@DylanJBartram]

Spot on. Don't buy cheap magazines.

[@DylanJBartram]

​@@fin59shawshoot them over and over and see if you have no problems. The issue is those plastic feed lips warp and you'll have issues with magazine seating properly and falling out. Imho, better to stick to quality metal magazines for an AR platform. Notice even with like say a Glock magazine, there are metal liners to keep feed lips from warping.

I checked out the ammo site you listed, the free shipping is nice but 28c a round for Blazer Brass 9mm (range ammo) is a little high. SGAmmo and occasionally PSA come in well under that. SG does bulk defensive too. Just wanted to pass on a tip someone passed to me.

Those will work, or straight up o2 absorbers, just don't keep opening the container. Oxygen absorbers like they use for food storage. They come sealed. Work better than just those silica packs you find like in shoe boxes and random sht you buy, but will get saturated and lose efficacy if you keep opening container or they aren't airtight.

[@A2DaZ210]

Uncle Freedom: You should not only be stockpiling 55gr FMJ. Me, who stockpiles mainly FMJs: Ok cool, why and how should I stockpile 556? Unlce Freedom: In the next video ill tell you why? Me: damnit lol Ive learned lessons the hard way. When Obama was in office and we had the Sandy Hook active shooter I struggled to find and purchase my first AR15 (BCM 14.5). I eventually bought my first AR15 and then didnt really buy as much 556 as I actually needed. Covid hit and once again I struggled with buying ammo. I changed all of that and im up to 9k of 9mm. 6k of FMJs for training and 3k of HSTs 124. On the 556 side I have about 6k of FMJs and about 1k of different types of premium 556 / 223 to see what my rifle likes. My plan was to at least stockpile 556 FMJs since the premium stuff is expensive.

[@DylanJBartram]

556 fmj is better than nothing as long as your rifle will feed and shoot it reliably. Take all this advice from different people and find what works best for you and your income.

[@billypike3797]

You know what ammo I just found out is actually garbage? Sig v crown. It looks good, prices similar to others yet performance is dog shit. I shot that, critical duty and hst all from the same gun.

@unclefreedom213 Just found your channel and I love what you put out there. Everything you say is music to my ears. Got a question, I'd love to pick up some ammo through your link, but they only have 124gr +p. I assume I'd rather have a bunch of 135gr +p, and I like just collecting one ammo type for defensive loads instead of a mix of grainage, so ive gotta pick before starting to really stock up. Does the 124gr +p perform well enough compared to the 135gr +p? what do you stockpile? I've found 135+p but not free shipping, doesn't help you, and it's like $20 more for 250 rounds. Thoughts?

[@unclefreedom213]

the 124 critical duty was designed around sub compacts but it still performs even through g34s. I love 124 and carried it for years and still do on some guns for me the 135 is about consistency. I have easy access to it so for me it makes sense but if I didn't have access the way I do I woild take 124 all day

I hate that "if it won't run steel it doesn't deserve brass" mentality. Its just stupid. The people that say that are either trying to hide their inferior purchasing power or else they are super rich and don't care about what they spend. But here in realville, we buy what we can when we can. If its steal case, so be it. Now with that said. Stocking up for the range and stocking up for defense is two different things. Steal for the range. Not for defense. Unless of course its all you got. Which exposes another issue, being unprepared.

To make it cheaper for myself I purchase the cheapest bullets I can find from everglades. 5.56 ammunition can be reloaded for about 35 cents a round and the quality would be as good if not better than federal 55 grain ammunition. Any ammunition properly reloaded should be accurate. I have no problem selecting FMJ out of my ar-15 to defend myself with. FMJ will work all the time lol. One thing also if you stockpile a bunch of cheap FMJ ammunition you can train with it and reload it with hollow points later on also. Bro fuck all that if I have a thousand dollars Im buying reloading supplies like primers and powder lol. Your message is wrong and as a reloader you should know better lol.

Why dissable comments on latest video? How many people is killed around the world with high quality expensive hollow points in the world vs cheap FMJ ? All countries armies use FMJ.

Self defense rounds isn't end all be all. Most people are brain washed by youtubers. Ball rounds are great to carry as well.

Id rather have flat nose n poke through you further. I grab hollows n other "defensive" loads 1/4 or 1/5 times i buy ammo. for 9mm, the winchester white box hollows work even in my shortest SCCY barrel i think its 3.12-3.18 inches. Even with clothes. But thats within 20 yards. Shit slows down quick out of a pistol. Then its kind of a slow fmj. So id rather have somwthing thats meant to penetrate past 20. Flat nose PENETRATE🤣🤣🤣🤣. And interestingly they leave a better cavity than youd think. It's hard to find hollows that dont suck nuts these days, and arent 2 dollars a round. If its 1.50 a round, im buying fucking rifle rounds bruh. This commieflation is fucked. So knowing winchester white box jhp 9mm works, and flat nose - thats what i buy now. 5.56 doesnt matter as much. Literally stock up on anything your rifle will use. Maybe 1/5-1/6 times you buy ammo, get some varmint rounds or something for home defense use. Youre always going to shoot through 4 houses but with a defensive round, maybe it might work .01% better. Its already a fuckin rifle though soooooooo. Also - don't ONLY test with gel. Its good to use meat targets every now and then. Hunting rounds are good enough if you can find em at a decent price too. Idk what all the fuss is about. What is BETTER? and why should half my ammo be expensive half bullshit "defensive" ammo? Most the shit i see these days is pretty damn subpar. And the ones that are are 2 bucks a round. 75 grain is cool. Stock 115s. Full send it.

10,000 rds is completely realistic, especially in stuff that common like 22lr, 9mm, 556, and even 308.

[@davidrobbins5442]

My go twos

[@thequack7997]

It's entirely possible and quite economical in 22lr

[@JohnGotti256]

499$ x 10 just for 556 9mm and 22lr is do able i stock pile 556 bit not that deep , i cap at about 2k maybe 3k

[@ethan.amosberg835]

​@davidrobbins5442 huh?

[@optimumperformance]

10,000 rounds per caliber is just the starting point minimum for my standards

[@chevyguy1985]

Good afternoon bossman

[@sglee4708]

Thank you for the info BUT what 556 should I stock up on ? and 9mm

[@streakofluck]

Bartering ammo is foolish. Once they get it they use it against you.

[@thequack7997]

Hand loaded slightly oversized under pressured squibs 🤫

[@johnbuntin7188]

Never barter anything someone can kill you with. You are correct sir.

[@Driver-ur9mf]

Squibs, ha ha, think I saw that on the walking dead. If you can figure out the recipe for 7.62, post it here. 300 or 308, have them both.

[@craigrogers3163]

You don’t barter with an enemy.

[@Aries69-959]

If you reload uncle freedom has a LOT of info that you may find helpful. And he does respond to questions. Helped me out. Ty uncle freedom

Just learned Bereli exists and it happens to be a 45 minute drive from where I live. Looks like I found a new place to spend all of my money.

[@justa3v619]

I order all my ammo to stockpile and just run by my local pawn shop to buy ammo before the range. Although I do order a case of range ammo maybe once every 2-3 months that with picking up 100-150rds on the way to the range. As far as my defensive ammo I try and order a minimum 3-5 boxes a week which psa aac makes that pretty easy

[@elkhunter9244]

Let's keep in mind that if you have so much ammo and equipment that you cannot carry it, there is the risk of you becoming combat ineffective. I, personally, cannot carry 10,000 rounds of ammo in mags, a weapon system and all my other gear and still expect to be able to bug out or move from one defensive position to another effectively. I believe in having a whole bunch but you also need to be able to move when needed. If your whole plan revolves around you holing up and staying put, you should be fine....

[@badgirlclub4712]

Don't tell everyone, but hide some.

[@damiion666]

Wrong. If you see a good deal on bulk steel cased, jump on it. You will also need ammo to hit the range and keep up your skills

[@MANDING0]

I would also say have handguns in different calibers for when there's an ammo shortage. Some people only have 9mm handguns in their collection.

[@davidhawkins847]

I was doing that payday process for a couple years to at least get a stockpile built. That was when Walmart still sold ammo. I stop by each payday and pick up usually Winchester white box 100-200rnd packs of 9mm and a box or 2 of Federal 5.56 55g 150rnd box. Now that I have at least a generic stockpile built, I'm working on the higher end ammo stockpiling now. Just been trying to figure out what I should focus on for the premium ammo instead of just grabbing something off the shelf. Sources like Uncle Freedom who are in environments with more testing or real life exposure helps me focus from just adding hollowpoint to a specific brand/style so I can have a consistent load. Now, if it wasn't such a pain to buy ammo where I'm at so I could get back into a buying pattern.

[@badgirlclub4712]

I'm not this guy. Give me whatever. However, if it's only a dollar difference between sierra and federal I'll go with fed.

[@dancarter7009]

Hey Uncle Freedom, I also like the HST 124 +P but sometimes I can find the 147’s easier. Any thoughts on those? Thank you sir.

[@frostriver4547]

I like 147 for a suppressed platform. If you’re not thinking about that, the 124 +p are good and will cycle better in most than 147.
