Thread: The largest stash of factory ammo you ever bought

What's the largest amount of factory ammo you bought at once?

For me, 1k of PMC bronze 9mm, when I bought a CZ 75. No big deal.

I have heard of more interesting stashes. One guy who was really wealthy told me he went into a syndicate which bought CAC out of the last of their .22 supplies when they were winding up. If memory serves, it was somewhere between 100-250k rounds.

I listened to that fact with my mouth flapping open and closed. Finally intelligent noises came out in the form of a question:

"What did you shoot with it?" I asked.

His answer was simple, direct ,and profound.

"Everything".

His older brother managed to be in the right place at the right time to score a batch of surplus NZ Army 7.62x51 ex Singapore stocks being flogged off.

I asked him how much, and he had no idea of numbers, but gestured the dimensions of what he'd bought, and from memory, it was about a cubic metre.

Impressive, but it will tie him to owning and using a 308 for the rest of his natural life, seeing he intends to keep it all.
