#CALIFORNIA AMMO STOCKPILE MANUAL#
For now, I’m keeping it manual and letting ammo accrue. You can either do it by a total round count or by total value. You have the option to automate shipping your crate as well. I fully plan on just letting this roll for a few months until I need more ammunition, and then I’ll have them send me the crate. I also see a breakdown of the average price paid per round. I also told them how much of my $50 to allocate to each category ($20 for 9mm, and $15 each for 22LR and 5.56).Īfter the first deposit, it took about a week for ammunition to be allocated to my “crate.”įrom this first batch, I can see that I was allocated 63 rounds of match grade 22LR, 29 rounds of 5.56 practice ammo, and 52 rounds of 9mm. I told them that I wanted 9mm practice ammunition, 556 practice ammo with a rule to exclude green tip (my local range doesn’t allow it), and match grade 22lr. To start off, I signed up for the service myself and set up an automatic deposit of $50 per month. When you are ready, you have them ship your ammo to you. Your account is then allotted a portion of what they bought. They use your money, combined with everyone else’s, and bulk buy ammunition at a lower price point. You set the amount of money to deposit and what mixture of calibers you want them to buy. The purpose of Ammo Squared was originally automating the ammo buying process. In the 18 months since I first started using the service, this financial analogy has only gotten more appropriate given how they have updated their offering. Then they store it for you until you want it. You deposit money into your account, and they automatically go out to buy ammunition according to your desired distribution.
If you make this an automatic deposit, then you pretty much never have to check on your investments unless you need to take some out.
You deposit money into the account, and let the algorithm use the money to buy funds according to your investment plan. This is the impetus behind the latest suite of robotic investors. With stocks, actively trying to “buy low, sell high” often results in worse results than just systematically buying a set of broad index funds every month. Nobody ever really knows what’s going on and making accurate predictions is almost impossible. Most reputable financial advisors tell you that it’s a mistake to try and time the market. To change the analogy for a second, consider investing. If you do this repeatedly, then you naturally build up a supply. Justin pointed out that the better way to handle this is to simply buy an extra box of ammo than you need every time and set it aside. Of course, that leads to paying elevated prices. When an ammo shortage happens, the tendency for shooters is to go try and buy a large bulk supply to carry us through. The problem with this mentality is that it leads to panic buys. A lot of people treat ammo as a “just in time” purchase, waiting until just before any given range trip or competition to buy it. One of the topics related to ammunition stockpiling.

If you sign up through my links below, I receive a small commission and you receive a $20 credit to your account for buying ammo.Įarlier in 2023, they actually did come around and sponsor several episodes of the podcast and I put some banners on the site. This post was the first time I’ve ever done any kind of promotion of an affiliate, and I hope you don’t let that tarnish your opinion. I was impressed and excited enough about what I learned that I felt like it just needed to be talked about. This is primarily how I pay for the costs of running this website.Īmmo Squared’s offering was so interesting to me that I actually wanted to get on the phone with them and talk through it. This is of no cost to you, and comes out of their revenue. By that, it means if you click on my links and go to their site to buy something, I receive a small commission in the range of 3% to 5%. That said, I do have affiliate relationships with some retailers.
Normally I reject such offers because they come from companies that aren’t really doing anything new or different, and I don’t want to muddy my brand by promoting random stuff. Ammo Squared originally contacted me asking if I was interested in an affiliate relationship.
