somewhat, I keep what loaded ammo I have in a .50 cal ammo box set back into a dry cool (cellar) area of my home. I have about 200 rounds for each centerfire and maybe 1000 rounds (2 bricks) of MiniMag for my .22LR rifle and pistols. I figure I'm ready for SHTF.
I don't have time to shoot the centerfires I have all that much and also I shoot BP guns and that takes up a good deal of space around my gun area. (BP revolvers are fun to shoot and can be very deadly accurate too but they do take some time)
