I'm, not sure which forum this should go in...
I'm wondering if anyone here would chime in on stockpiling issues. A neighbor and I are thinking of going in on a progressive loader for the purposes of stockpiling a few thousand rounds of 223 or whatever may come up, including doing some for friends and family. Eg, I am thinking of converting to 6.8 SPC and/or running a FAL.
I got to thinking about it, if trying to stockpile, what kind of things would you take into consideration in determining the number of rounds.
For example, combat vets, how many rounds do you go through in a combat situation? Do you have any sort of intuitive sense or gut reaction toward this question?
Obviously more is always better but realistically there must be some cost/benefit consideration.
Any ideas, references, outside commentators are welcome.
