Small amounts of miscellaneous ammo

[ray1970]

So, I can't be the only one who finds himself with very small quantities of ammo laying around from firearms you no longer own. For instance, I think I have eight or nine rounds of 9x18 Makarov, ten or twelve rounds of 8x56 with Nazi markings, maybe six rounds of 44 mag, and who knows what else.

While they don't take up much space, it seems kind of silly just having them sit around. But, like most men, I can't see just tossing them in the trash. But, at the same time, it isn't worth trying to give away such a small amount either.

Anyone have any ideas what I could do with these things?

Use them to stock ammo depot for the garden/yard gnomes.[Coffee]

Hmm. I do have some spare ammo cans. Maybe I could just put the miscellaneous stuff in there.

For use by the gnomes or to protect myself from them? [LOL]

Why not just buy some guns to match the ammo?

That's kind of an expensive solution to a small problem. [Coffee]

I'll start by taking the 44 and a couple pieces of 9x18

Tell ya what, next time we go shootin I will bring the 44 and you shoot it.

The 44 is yours. It's some nice Hornady jacketed stuff. I'll gather it up when I get that .45 brass together for you. And you can have the 9x18 too.

We should shoot it together!!

Aren't you paying them for security? Those little bastards in my yard look at me sideways and I will blast them to shards.:D

I wasn't worried about my gnomes. I was worried about someone else's attacking me.

We could start a "miscellaneous leftover ammo pay it forward" thread. Ive got 6 rounds of .45 Auto Rim.

Put it on armslist for $3 a round. Seems to be the going rate for ammo these days. :-/

I have one round of 5.45 left. If Metro 2033 has taught me anything, I'll save it for use as currency after the nuclear war.

I like to keep random calibers of guns I used to own. Still got .50 Beowulf 400gr hollowpoint in my stash :)

You are not the only one. Was thinking about taking some to one of the get-togethers next summer.

Well, if we are giving away excess, I have one round of FGMM .308 168, and one round of .50BMG. In light of the price (free), I'm willing to meet as far away as the end of my driveway [HiFive]

Funny thing the other day, I was shuffling around some ammo in my cabinet and found a couple of .22 LR. I've never owned anything that shoots them. I do have a bolt action .22 Win Mag rifle, but no LR.
