ammo inventory... do you know what you're low on?

I have a list made up that lives on my ipad and iphone. It's there more for my inventory tracking than to ref if I need something more.

Which reminds me. I'm low on 12ga trap. I think it's about to go on sale.

Likewise, I keep an inventory on my IPad, which I always have with me so I can keep track when I am out and see something that is potentially an impulse buy. Same for spare mags, spare parts, cleaning supplies etc. Sort of a running shopping list/wish list for consumables.

does anyone else go to the store, see a caliber and think they're low on it, buy some, get home and realize you've got lots?

There was someone a while ago that posted an ammo inventory spreadsheet, well I took that and ran. It was a slow day so added a few more pages to make it easier to count inventory and another to make little printed sheets so I can record what I take to the range with me so I can subtract it from the on hand list.

Just wondering what, if anything anyone else is using, always looking at making it easier. Then I know what I need to buy on the next trip, or if I have an overage and looking for a fun range day, take something I have lots of ammo for.

O C D much? Laugh2
 
i keep a rough idea on a list on my phone that way its with me when I see a good price
but to honest if I see a good price I just get some anyways can not have too much after all
 
I never kept completed ammo data like this but did keep forms like this for the components since I only got to order every year so had to make sure I had enough components to make what I needed
I am normally two to three years stock as far as reloaded ammo I need per year
 
1 - figure out how much ammo you want to keep in stock for each caliber
2 - stock pile that amount of ammo for each caliber
3 - every time you open a case...order another case
simple

Let me guess, accountant?
 
My goodness. Interesting how some of us are fussing over various aspects of our passion. I have crates and crates of ammo, mostly surplus. I have a goodly supply of el cheapo 12ga. For clay pigeon and gopher attacks. I probably have 40,000 .22, plus enough powder and primers to last for a while. I bought lots of 8x57 surplus when it was readily available, and do the same now with 7.62x39 and 54R.

I manage my ammo supply according to this: "Two things you never want to run low on in life - a$$wipe and ammunition". :p
 
I keep a Excel sheet on AMMO purchased and where just because I'm cheap and can't remember from last week what a good deal was and what shoots best.
 
I've been shooting for an awfully long time and I've never ran out of ammo but then I have a rule of thumb I've followed for years I never keep more then 12 different firearms in the house just so that my ammo is not hard to manage and so I don't end up with too many firearms, anyhow don't feel bad about the OCD stuff we probably all have our own little quirks, But I got to admit I had a good chuckle when I saw your management system and read through the different posts.
I'm certain your system is effective on several levels such as inventory and cost management but also things like reliability and preformance. Hey just a quick thought you should be in ammo business with out a doubt you'd be successful.
 
Hey, I don't feel bad... The original template originally came from a CGN'r who posted here offering it up to people a while back, I made a few tweaks and modifications to cover the different quantity counts I had.

I just want to share what works for me. Those that would like to use it, feel free, those that want to poke fun, poke away... :)
