Today I made a nice trade. I gave up 400 rounds of 357 SWC factory reloads from a reasonably reputable company to a gentlemen for 300 rounds of premium 223/5.56mm ammo factory new (PMC). I was most happy with the trade since I got the 357's a month ago in another trade for AR-15 magazines (equivalent of 2 of them for 400 rounds in a 1000 round deal for 5). In essence through horse trading I scored 300 rounds of 223 ammo for 2 magazines. I was well stocked in magazines and I felt I was 300 rounds short of 223 - now were all good.
So where is your reserve. I came home and decided for temporary storage to stick the little 20 round boxes on top of my clay shot 12 gauge 100 round WalMart boxes that are on top of my safe. I pushed the first to the back and CRASH. The little box fell. I heard it "come open" and the rounds scatter a bit - 20 rounds - damn. Moving that safe is a real P.I.T.Butt. Ahh screw it - that's the 20 round last reserve.
