A ban on lead containing “environmentally harmful” ammunition via EPA rulemaking is far more likely to be enacted than a gun control bill is likely to be passed by congress in the current political environment. I think that in the face of the multiple failures the anti-gun crowd has endured with regards to creating more firearms restrictions, their next target will be to ban or severely curtail the purchase of ammunition.
If you are stockpiling for a stash of practice ammo, ball is fine. It might be to prepare yourself for an ammunition sales ban or as a hedge against future supply shortages. Are those guns more likely to feed ball ammo or the state of the art hollowpoint? Ball ammo has some important utility here.Įven more importantly, the purpose of an ammo stockpile might not be to be prepared for the zombie apocalypse. In any collapse/crisis situation, there will be a lot of non-gun people pulling old/poorly maintained or cheap junk handguns out of shoe boxes and attics to defend their families. That strategy doesn’t require thousands of rounds of defensive ammunition. That’s fine but if things get that bad, exactly how many thousands of rounds of that high dollar hollow point ammo do you think you will fire before you get taken out by a team of criminal invaders? Your best bet in such a situation is to lay low and NOT draw attention to yourself. The primary factor is “ what event are you stockpiling for?” Most folks are planning for some type of societal collapse/zombie apocalypse.

How many rounds should you have? Should you stockpile self defense ammo or cheaper full metal jacket ball rounds? Ammo availability at local gun stores is starting to increase, but prices are high and many stores are limiting the amount of ammunition an individual can purchase. Online ammunition outlets have been sold out of popular products lately. With the recent COVID-19 pandemic and lots of civil unrest, I’m getting more and more people asking questions about stockpiling ammunition.
