My problem is I don't know exactly what I have! I have boxes of ammo all over the house, garage and basement, of various calibers. So, I don't really know what I should be buying, priority wise. Thinking out loud, shotgun, rifle or pistol ammo? In a post SHTF scenario, defending the ole homestead, I suppose the rifle would be used more than the shotgun or pistol. Pick off the zombies before they get too close. So then it comes down to 7.62x39, .308 or .223. The first two have longer range and greater knockdown power, IMO, YMMV, but the .223 is light weight, has a nice holographic sight and I would be more apt to carry that around on a sling while outside. The .308 and SKSs Would more likely to be used when shooting from cover. The pistol would be for backup only, since I would probably not be leaving the property. Target practice might have to be left to the airsoft to save ammo and keep down the noise signature. Further working through the scenario in my mind, once in full-blown defense against the zombie hoards mode, we would probably be shooting more from cover than outside walking around as sniper targets. So, I guess to answer my own question, I should focus on the .308 ammo (the SKSs are iron sights), with the .223 as a second choice, so maybe a 60/40 or 70/30 .308/.223 ratio for new ammo acquisition. What do you think?

I think that twincougars should be the 'poster-child' for BLOAT!, and is my new bestest buddy!

where do you buy your ammo?

I was wondering about the best/easiest place to buy ammo. We have been going locally to a gunshop, walmart and Bi-mart. It sounds like some of you buy it and have it shipped to you. Am I reading this right?

Just today I received my order from SGAmmo. Gotta say I like these folks. Good prices, same day shipping, and prompt/friendly customer service.

As far as not knowing what one has, I would suggest doing what I did and just make a spreadsheet.
I updated mine recently and found 1 hole I wanted to fill and as of today that hole is filled. :)

I concur! I have to pay Oklahoma sales tax, but still buy from SGAmmo often. Really good people...family business.

Here's a great resource also:
