TOP 5 Calibers of Ammo YOU need to Stockpile before BAN!

Number 5. .22 LR
The only non-NATO caliber on today’s list, .22 is a seriously underestimated survival round. It’s a small-caliber, low-velocity round, but it’s still powerful enough to take small game – and, in a pinch, if you start poking .22 holes in an attacker they’ll probably lose interest quite quickly. The ammunition is also small, light, and relatively cheap, so you can stockpile and carry large quantities of it – and it should be available in any gun shop.
The .22 is a low-powered round to start with, so to get the most out of it you should look for one of the higher-velocity loadings. The exception is if you plan to use a suppressor – a bolt-action .22 rifle with a suppressor and subsonic ammo is extremely quiet, and ideal for small game. Hollow-point bullets will maximize the .22’s utility for hunting and defense. If you can only have one gun, a .22LR is actually one of the best options simply because the ammo is so small and cheap.

Number 4. 12-Gauge
This is the most popular shotgun caliber in the world, and it’s also the military and law enforcement standard, so it’s one of the easiest calibers to find. It’s also a really versatile one; 12-gauge ammo ranges from light bird shot to Magnum slug loads capable of bringing down large game. If you’re buying a shotgun aim for one that’s chambered for 3” Magnum shells.
You won’t always need Magnum rounds, but if your gun can take them you’ll be able to use any 12-gauge ammo you can get your hands on. For the same reason get a gun with an adjustable choke, including cylinder bored. When it comes to stockpiling shotgun ammo stick to shot rather than slug, because it’s more versatile. Buckshot will bring down a deer just fine. Look at a mix of 00 buckshot for medium game, #1 shot for ducks and geese, and #7 shot for small game. Federal law says you have to use non-toxic shot for hunting waterfowl, but otherwise lead shot is both cheaper and better.

Number 3. 9mm NATO
Also known as 9mm Luger or 9mm Parabellum, the 9x19mm NATO round is the standard military pistol caliber and it’s also the most common pistol choice in law enforcement. There’s a prejudice against it in the US, but some of that might be down to anemic commercial loadings. The military loading is about equivalent to a +P load and almost any 9mm handgun will handle that just fine – they’re mostly designed with an eye on military or police sales, after all.
In fact, the 9mm is a powerful, high-velocity handgun round with low felt recoil, good accuracy potential and compact enough dimensions that you can fit a lot of rounds in the magazine. A JHP will add some expansion to its already formidable terminal ballistics, but fully jacketed military ball rounds hit hard enough in most scenarios and tend to give the most reliable feed. This is going to be our most controversial recommendation, but if you want a handgun that will be easy to feed after the apocalypse, get a 9mm.

Number 2. 5.56mm NATO/.223
The standard military and police rifle caliber is 5.56x45mm NATO, an evolved version of the .223 Remington round. It’s a lightweight and flat-shooting round that hits hard out to around 300 yards from a carbine-length weapon, and there are billions of rounds of it stockpiled around the US in gun shops, police armories and military bases. Whatever happens to the world this will probably be the last caliber to run out, so if you want a good all-round rifle get a 5.56mm one. One thing to watch out for is that 5.56mm and .223 rounds are the same size and will chamber perfectly in each other’s weapons, but they’re not exactly the same thing.
