ammo crates stacked 6 high make a great bedside table. I have 7.62 x 39 on one side of the bed, and 45acp on the other.

Not me oneside has the wife other is my dog....I think if I did ammo crates beside the bed , I don't think I would have either lol
 
I have only ever bought one can of corrosive ammo, never fired a single round, I stock some surplus, but MFS 7.62 is cheap enough, that's what I stockpile for my SKS's (In ammo cans of course) . I can and will never have enough .44 mag, 9mm, 7.62 x 39 , 7.62 x 51 and soon to add to the list will be 5.56/.223 . And here is my thinking: If your stockpiling for a SHTF situation, be sure to own at least two guns for every ammo type :D ... Or more.

Oh, and LOTS AND LOTS of 12 ga
 
I would personally stock-pile non-corrosive when it goes on sale. I have some surplus fodder, but I just can't be bothered to shoot it anymore... Barnaul is so good and only a few bucks more.

Thats how I feel about MFS, and I clean my rifle after every use anyway, I just like the idea that its not the very first thing I NEED to do directly after shooting it "Ooops, you waited 16 hours, yer ####ed" Lol

Exactly. The MFS/Barnaul stuff is also a lot cleaner burning, and quite accurate. Makes shooting my SKS much more enjoyable.

I debated whether or not to buy surplus or new production and ended up going this route as well. Like you, the cleaning doesn't bother me so much. It's more along the lines of "The surplus is cheaper and all but most of it is at least 40+ years old. I might have this for 20 or 30 years myself before using it so why would I buy the stuff that's already old when I can buy new production now? Do I really want to be shooting ammo off that's 70ish years old if in it a situation where my life depends on it?" So i'll keep buying up the new production stuff and storing it in .50 cal cans. Works for me.
 
i have shoot some russian ammo from 1951 and 1958 and they all go bang at the first time , and if you keep that stuff for 20-30 year it because you dont shoot enough !
