"other than switching out those #8 shells for something with a little more stopping power (BB and up) i'd say your fairly set ammo wise. 1000 rounds of .22 is like 7 lbs, the rifle rounds add 3 and the add another 3, so around 13 lbs for ammo in total, though if you have that weight distributed correctly, its perceived weight is less."

"or you can melt fishing weights and make your own slugs.. just a thought, wont be near as accurate as the ones you buy factory, but they will do the job as good as any."

"Hey serious question here guys. Im 20 years old in pretty decent physical condition. I want to pack my 3 Day MOLLE pack with all the normal gear i.e. clothes, food, water. Is 1000 .22lr rounds, 50 12 Gauge #8 shot shells, and 60 7.62x54r rounds an unreasonable load? The only reason Id have the Nagant rounds is for raiders, the .22 and 12 gauge are for zeds."

"So from your taking ammo for 3 different guns I take you are planing on also carrying the 3 guns?
To carry all this seems pretty excessive to me.
Id recommend to load up your pack with the ammo and with your guns go for a hike now and see how things work out.

My guess in actual use you would have wished you brought more food and water then the guns and ammo after a few days"

"Yeah actually its for 4 guns because the .22 ammo is for a pistol and a rifle. I have a MOLLE scabbard for the shotgun attached to my pack. The shotgun has an 18 inch barrel and composite stock, so its not too heavy. Same goes for my nagant, I threw an aftermarket stock on it and now its only 5 pounds. The pack has a 3L hydration pack in it and I also have a 1 quart canteen on my belt.

EDIT: I loaded up my pack this morning with the ammo and two 25lb dumbells and water and hiked Camelback Mountain here in AZ. It was a little tiring but I plan on doing it quite often in order to train myself for it

EDIT #2: I am actually carrying 5 guns. I actually weighed my guns all together and found out the specs on the 2 I am purchasing. My Nagant is 5.2lbs, the Mossberg is 5.6lbs my Ruger single Six is 2lbs. I am purchasing the Ruger 22/45 which is 3lbs and the Ruger 10/22 which is 5lbs. So I need to add 20lbs to my person when I hike in order to fully train, not all in my pack but distributed across my body"

"Why do you need 5 guns while on foot? I think that's a bit much man, especially since you're carrying two .22LR pistols, that's a bit redundant. You need to cut back."

"I've never played Resident Evil. I've always used a quarter as my fishing weight, especially in murky water."

"i like the idea but id personaly have some of the ammo in a drop pouch or seperate bag so if needs be ditch a gun +ammo but dats proball 2 many guns but more guns=more firepower id also add a bat or crowbar if entering urban settings do you have any silent weapons ?"
