I'll answer your question first, and then since everybody else is doing it, drift your thread second.Īfter the '08 ammo shortage, I decided I was kind of tired of it and resolved to keep enough ammo on hand to last me for 10 years of hunting at any given time. Needless to say, I have a lot more than that stashed away. But that's all assuming that I wait until close enough for a primo shot, and don't do any target shooting, except for checking the zero on my hunting rifle. 22, and 50 shotgun shells would probably be plenty. Realistically, if I was hunting regularly, two boxes of 300 win mag, 100 rounds of. 22 rounds and shotgun shells would do the trick. So if I bag 20-30 grouse, rabbits and or ducks every year, 60-90. I've had plenty of misses with my 10/22, and missed shots at flying ducks. 22 is also a good rule, as is 3 shotgun shells. Add in another box to use for zeroing, which can be a painfully slow process if not done correctly, and you have 40 rounds of big game ammo per year.įor small game, 3 rounds of. Lots of hunters I know can easily bag an animal with one shot, but accounting for jumpy nerves, a light wound, or having to take a longer range shot than you anticipated, 3 rounds is a good rule of thumb. So, 3-5 large critters(deer, bear, moose, elk, caribou) would be 9- 15 rounds of whatever high powered hunting rifle you use. Honestly, I'd budget 3 rounds per animal as a general rule.
