- Even if you're not a gun owner, you might want to start stocking up on these calibers of ammunition. You can use it for barter, currency, financial investment, hunting, home defense, personal protection, etc. These calibers are some of the most commonly used and purchased by most people. .22LR, 9mm, .223 / 5.56, .308 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmor, and 12 gauge shotgun ammunition are some of the most commonly owned firearms and ammunition calibers today.
In this video Kyoshi Dave Herman of Five Elements Tactical Training, shares with you 5 common calibers that you should be stockpiling right now, even if you don't own guns. From a emergency preparedness, or Prepper, perspective, there are countless. SHTF scenarios where, ammunition can be used as a method of trade or currency. WROL, SHTF, scenarios, not just the post apocalyptic world... but even in times of civil unrest, break down of society, when food, fuel, and other everyday items are hard to come by. Food shortages, supply supply disruptions, fuel shortages, hyperinflation, economic collapse, to name just a few.
Bug out bags, get home bags, go bag, survival kit, all should include some ammunition, either for firearms you own, or for barter along the way, when you bug out, and head for safety.
Five Elements Tactical Training focuses on Self Defense, Home Defense; firearms safety, marksmanship, and tactics, emergency and disaster preparedness, survival skills, and the Warrior Mindset... for beginners, intermediate students, and coaches and instructors alike.
Please pass on this information with your family and friends.
Stay safe out there, Warriors.
Came over from corporal corner like the fact this is an excellent teaching channel good basic common sense thank you
Thank you so much. Welcome, Warrior!! I hope you enjoy the content 🙏🏼
Oh thank you so much for this info. Very informative and the benefits of bartering. Keep up the good work ! You are doing great 👍
Thank you so much for the constant support and encouragement!!! It means so much to me. 🙏🏼
Great job telling people who don’t own guns to stockpile ammunition versus the people who are legal gun owners actually getting to use what they need during this type of situation
Some of us would like guns someday and y'all have a tedency to stockpile ammo even when you already have a stockpile. Let the rest of us have a chance to get ammo 😛
@@3nertia You clearly did not read my message correctly. Why stockpile ammo when you have no weapons? And having Ammo for all your weapons isn’t stockpiling it’s smart
@@meechie69Official Because I intend to get weapons - why stockpile MORE weapons when you already have weapons? Why stockpile more ammo when you already have ammo? "Stockpile" doesn't mean "some ammo on hand to go to the range with" - it means 500+ rounds that you NEVER touch, in case SHTF ...
If I didn't read your message correctly then perhaps you should write it more clearly :)
"Don't write so that you can be understood, write so that you can't be misunderstood." - William Howard Taft
@@3nertia Stockpiling I have ammo for all my weapons to be Able to train and defend myself .. I only purchase now when I use up training amo for more
Ruger 1022 is still my favorite gun. Excellent information, especially for those new to firearms.
Inflation at a 30 year high, all designed to take us to the Great Reset... The World Economic Forum and Clause Schwab are some of the key players.
Excellent points are brought up in this video, Dave. Thank again! 🇺🇸
I stumbled on this channel today. And I’m glad I did.... very informative thank you 😊
Thank you so much. i really appreciate it 🙏🏼
Don’t start instructing non gun owner to buy ammo. This will only worsen the supply issues. Cmon now
Y'all have stockpiled enough ammo - let the rest of us get a chance :P
Yup I agree
Ranger T 147gr is what i carry on and off duty. Good video and spot on. I train and teach with a Glock 44. Same holster and my 12 yr old was outshooting half the deputies at my last job
That’s awesome!!!
I may be out to lunch but one thing I won't use as a barter item is ammunition. Whatever I have I will keep. I will barter such things as: water, water filtration devices (lifestraws etc.), food, alcohol, medical supplies (bandages, otc meds, etc.), Bic lighters (every prepper should have several hundred), coffee, my skills - eg. teach someone to find and purify water in exchange for something I want or need, cannabis, condoms, sanitary pads... the list goes on and on.
Weapons and ammo I will keep for myself. But, hey, if someone wants to trade ammo for stuff I have.. I'm down with that.
Still - another good video well executed, Kyoshi. It's critical to be familiar with firearms in a SHTF environment. I would also recommend that folks look into archery... it can be absolutely deadly and is deadly silent too.
Always great advice, brother. I took some parts out, when editing, to keep the video from being too long. And I realize, I took out the risks of giving ammo to anyone. I’d only trade with someone I know and trust. And also want newbies to understand Operational Security etc. Thanks for always sharing such great stuff!!!!
Exactly! Never use ammo as barter. It only takes one bullet for them to take you out, and gain access to everything else.
Spot on Well covered and agree with your choices in ammo. Mind set is first and foremost. Be careful with how you deal with For barter I would go with alcohol. cigarettes stuff that cant be used against you Including medical supply's food The list could go on. Well done Sir
I realized after I published the video, that some of what I cut out in editing (to keep the video from being too long) was this exact subject. I would only give/sell/trade ammo with someone I know and trust for a very long time. You’re absolutely right!!! I also stock some, “vice items” that I don’t use, but I know someone would want... alcohol, tobacco, etc.
.45 ACP is one I would also, consider. It very popular and Special ops as well as some military units are switching back to the .45
More stopping power too. Usually you can’t fit as many rounds of .45 in a magazine, but that’s the trade off, I guess. Thanks for the input, Warrior!! 🙏🏼
ummm no they are not..... but if you want a slow round sure
Brother peace and blessings to you and your Family,I wish all safety and success to and your Family
Thank you so much, Warrior!!! Same to you and yours. 🙏🏼
Finally some 308 love 😎
👍🏼
I agree with the 22 caliber. My weapon of choice to carry is a Smith and Wesson 380 EZ. But when I practice, I always practice with a 22 caliber
Have you ever had the last live round stove pipe issue with your 380EZ? Thanks.
This is why there's no ammo to buy, everyone is buying it for trade.
Perfect choice
Great video 🎉
Yeah! Let’s all hoard! What a self perpetuating situation
‘Tis definitely a fine line.
Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
I don't like cops, I have PTSD. However corporal corner gave you a bump. He's the man, I learned a lot from him. Seeing what you have to teach can help my family. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, and welcome Warrior!! I always say “you don’t have to like country music, to like a country song.” I appreciate your honesty and your support. And Corporal is the MAN!!! A helluva instructor, human being, and friend.
Spot on info. In the long run ammo is going to be a great barter piece. My wife thinks I’m crazy but, understands the why. Heard a 365 in there. I really enjoy my 365xl.
I shot a p365 in Utah and loved it but alas, I live in the people’s republic of California and it’s not on “the roster” of approved handguns.
@@insatiable_mind first I will pray for you to find refuge in a better state. There is little difference between the 365 and the xl model. The xl has 12 round mags, I believe it’s a little bigger in the grip length and, it has the option of a thumb safety. Personally I went the xl route because of the safety. I have a little one who still like to climb an hang on me. I always thought I was going to go Glock but, after shooting the 43 I changed my mind. If I do go Glock it will be in the G19 platform. This is just my opinion an that’s all it’s worth.
9mm Glock/Ruger PCC combo is pretty nice.
Yes indeed . Again, better to have one and not need it ,than need one and not have it.
However , where i live , the only time i can have one ( SAR-21) in my hands is when i report back to camp for an activation.
So for now , its the homemade sling shot and cross bow for home defence 😅
Thank you for sharing Kyoshi 🙏
That’s pretty badass if you ask me! Stay safe out there, Warrior!!🙏🏼
a good video.
Good video man lots of people out there need to know these things because yes these sought after ammo calibers will be worth they're weight in gold soon the way things are going. garand is 30.06. My dad is an x marine fire arms instructor from the late 50s through the 60s and was lucky enough to find one for sale a few years back just like the one he carrried back then.. Me I shoot a 30.06 long distance bolt action rifle. 30.8 is the little brother to the 30.06 power wise like the 30.06 is the little brother to the 300 win mag. Again same caliber just more powder behind it and kicks like a 12 guage 00 buck lol
30-06 is another common round. Especially in the hunting community. Good call, Warrior!!! Thanks for the great advice. 🙏🏼
These are good ones and the,idea behind it is sound. I also think 380 is a good ammo if you want a smaller conceal pistol
I understand uour thought process in the video. But bartering with ammo may not be the best idea. If someone knows you have supplies, that ammo you traded away could be used against you.
When I edited the video, regretfully I took this out, to keep the video from being too long. But I agree. I would only trade ammo with someone I know and trust for a long time. Also, I’m a big advocate on operational security, not advertising what you have, or how much of it you have. Great point, Warrior!!! Thanks for the input. 🙏🏼
Just a small correction, M-1 Garands shot 30-06 and it is also common enough round. I prefer 22 TCM from Armscor. It is a 223 on a 9mm case. It is a round that was always available although it increased in price but not by much.
Good video. I think that you could add 380 to your list. Lots of women and newbies like these compact firearms. I’m not saying that a 380 is a wimp. Actually is a great self defense weapon in a tight situation. Thanks for your time.
I think it’s less common than 9mm... but definitely agree with you. Great round, and lots of great compact options out there for new shooters, smaller hands, and also for people who have a challenging time managing recoil. Thanks for the input, Warrior!!!
I prefer it too, just so the wife and kids can control it better but man the price right now makes me wince.
My favourite round Winchester 30/30 win
My Bass Pro has been loaded with 556, 223, and 9's. It's been great!
Awesome!! How have the prices been? Stock up if you can.
If you have ammo you can easily find a gun especially when ammo is scearse
Muy buen video muy interesante, muchas gracias.
My Main 5 would be the same as yours. But I also have to add: 38/357, 30 Carbine and 45ACP.
Very good choices.
I like your choice for 5 types of ammunition. For myself to would modify the .308 up to 30-06. Just because I have mutual weapons in that caliber. Two thing you didn’t stress , proper storage of ammunition and using ammunition for trade could be adding danger to yourself and others (getting shot with ammunition you provide would be sad).
Enjoyed hearing your take on ammunition.
Now if you had only one choice of weapon from the five, what would you choose? I know one tool doesn’t fit every circumstance.
Thanks
To pick just one would be hard to do. Many tools for different applications and situations. 👍 I guess it’s good for thought!
Thank you so much, for the great input. I really appreciate it. There was a lot of content I cut out in editing to keep the video from being too long. I’ll have to make another at some point. About storage, and the operation security / risks of using ammo for barter or currency. I’d never give ammo to someone I didn’t know and trust.
As far as one gun to rule them all... that’s a tough one. I guess my AR. I hope I never need to pick just one. Lol.
Your right when it comes to bartering. I think the smart thing to do would be to only deal with people who you know.
308 will have more barter power than 30-06.. Especially in these times where AR-10’s are either fueled by 308 or 6.5..
I agree with all 5 you picked
I would also add .357 magnum and .38 special - mostly because I want a lever action rifle with an octagonal barrel and the one I want can shoot either of those >_>
I'd also like to know *which* 9mm PCC that is?
Good choices too. Especially for lever action. I love those calibers.
And, it’s a Ruger PC Carbine in 9mm. It takes Glock 9mm magazines, even the smallest one.
@@FiveElementsTactical That could work for the roommate - thanks!
Great video sir 👍 Thanks.
I like 30/30 And 30/06 I also reload these . I also baught dies to reload 9 mm
I Stock Up on .50BMG For My AR-50 It’s Going Really Cheap Even In These Pandemic Times 😀😊
I don't know?.but you helped me to believe that is something going on and. We need to protect our family.
But haven't a 🔫 at home 😕 I don't know 😕 🤷 🤔
I would have somebody in your group designated Just for long range shooting. I'm designated in my group As long range shooter. we meet up a few times a month to do drills And long range shooting. I run a Remington 243 with a 26" heavy barrel . But some of the other guys will run 308, 3006 Or 300 win mags. But I'm hitting out to 1100 yd with my 243.
I think you mean 243 WIN by Remington
@@noble9140 lol no rem 243 Winchester
@@noble9140 thanks for catching that. I fixed it
@@223dmr7 what twist, what grain pill, and what size target at 1100 yards? Thank you.
4 out of 5 ya. The 12ga not a big fan, I would only use a 12ga for hunting small game. 50 brass bullets versus 50 12ga witch one do you want to carry around
All valid points brother.
Thanks, Warrior!! I hope you enjoy the content. Stay safe out there. 🙏🏼
Good info however if we get invaded by another country they won’t get closer than 800 yards to my house! If they’re at your property that’s way too close! Always keep the enemy at distance, it’s your friend because it buys you time!
sure buddy, sure
If you are stupid enough to not own a firearm, then you do NOT need ammo. Leave the ammo for those that need it!
Good point!
9mm with some .22 I find it funny that people actually believe there will be barter in those times.Two 9mm handguns and a 9mm carbine for walkabouts.
I’ve heard that most manufacturers are primarily focusing on NATO calibers (9mm, 5.56x45 etc) for the time being, then going back to the alternative calibers.
Interesting. I hadn’t heard that. Thanks for sharing. 🙏🏼
Soo true,,,, AMMO vs Gold,, Hmm Let's bet AMMO bartering for stuff WINS every time... BUY Ammo , Not gold/silver
It’s crazy how the prices have gone up.
I make my own ammo
Hows that going for you price wise ? I have been wanting to start reloading my own ammo but with the prices of powder. Primers. Etc. Do you find yourself saving a good amount apposed to buying off the shelves?
@@jordansilver4629 I save around 200 dollars a month also if you know how you can make your own powder
With a 338 lp you never have to let them get to your house
I like the way you think, Warrior!
@@FiveElementsTactical defenses must be layered. Different tools for different situations
If SHTF does happen about every house in the country will have .22lr 9mm and 12 gauge
I sure hope so.
Didn't mention 30-06 hmm
an awesome pistol to own would be a Taurus judge. What I mean by that is the variety of ammo that revolver can shoot.
the blade of grass thing was and will always be a myth
You do realize that encouraging people to "stockpile" ammunition is what causes the price to go up...right?
How about 7.62 x 39
That’s another one that I like a lot. I have rifles and ammo in that caliber. But in my opinion, it’s not as common (popular) at least in my region, as .223/5.56. I stock up on what I use and find most frequently and easily. But for sure, 7.62x39 is an awesome choice, and round. Thanks for the input, Warrior!! 🙏🏼
@@FiveElementsTactical Yes in Canada we used to be able to buy SKS s for cheap but now I think they are hard to find!
The option to live by hunting will die out within weeks possibly months due to overhunting. Look at the size of the livestock farms that it takes to feed us now, do you really think there's numbers like that in the woods? I'll answer that for ya NO.
Well here comes another hoard
How about 10 cents ,10 cents 10 cents
😞
I like feet and I don't care who knows it!
Yes the 22lr a jack of all trades round. Just for God's sake do not DO NOT buy remintons 1400 rd bucket of turd bullets, total garbage ! Cci and a few others are worth the money.
Thanks for the heads up. I had my eye on that for a while, but never got it.
@@FiveElementsTactical i unfortunately bought 2 a few years back and let's just say when you can move around the bullet in the case like its a bobble head figure its not a good day at the range lol btw I bought them from 2 different stores over about 6 months time.
Wow!! That’s crazy. Thanks again for the heads up. I really appreciate it. Stay safe out there, Warrior!!
Ammunition is likely going to be currency in our lifetime…. Maybe sooner than later with the Brandon administration
