So talking with my buddy after we went to range and the subject of how many loaded mags we have in our home bug out bag, but also how many loaded magazines we keep in general. Would love to hear what others recommend?
For example, I like to have 6 mags of 300 subsonic (go to is a 300 BO pistol suppressed) and 6 mags of 9mm 147g HP for the pistol in my go bag, in addition to 3 mags of 300 BO on plate carrier.
Beyond the go bag, I keep roughly 6 loaded magazines each of 300, 556, 9mm for Cz scorpion and for glock pistol, as well as .22, .45 and 7.62x39, all in safe. I’ll rotate mags every six months.
He says he likes to have more than that loaded, like 12 for each caliber.
To clarify:
Question 1: how many mags in your go bag
Question 2: how many mags do you keep loaded not in your go bag
