The Ammo Depot gives you a complete view of your ammunition inventory organized by caliber. Select Ammo Depot from the left sidebar to see all your rounds at a glance. You can log every box you own, watch quantities drop automatically as you shoot, and get alerted when a caliber runs low — all from one place.

Add an ammo record

1

Open the Ammo Depot

Select Ammo Depot from the sidebar and click Add Ammo.
2

Set the caliber and brand

Enter a Caliber (e.g., 9mm, .223 Rem, .308 Win) and Brand (e.g., Federal, Hornady, Winchester). Both fields are required.
Use the same caliber string every time you add rounds of the same type. The Ammunition On Hand dashboard chart groups by the exact caliber value, so 9mm and 9x19mm will appear as two separate entries.
3

Describe the round

Fill in the optional round-detail fields to make this record easy to identify later:
FieldWhat to enter
Product lineThe manufacturer’s product line, e.g., HST, Critical Defense, FMJ
GrainBullet weight as a number, e.g., 124
Bullet typeFMJ, HP, JHP, BTHP, etc.
CasingBrass, Steel, or Aluminum
PurposeTraining (default), Self-Defense, Match, or Hunting
4

Enter quantity and cost

Enter the Quantity — the number of rounds you have on hand. This is required.Optionally enter Cost per round in dollars. My Kit multiplies this by quantity to calculate the value of this ammo, which rolls up into the Kit Value stat card on your main dashboard.
5

Set the low-stock threshold

The Low stock threshold defaults to 100. When your quantity drops below this number, the Ammo Depot shows a Warning badge next to the record. When quantity reaches 0, the badge changes to Critical (out of stock).Adjust this number to match your real-world needs — a competition shooter who burns 500 rounds a weekend needs a higher threshold than someone who trains occasionally.
6

Add purchase and storage details

Enter a Purchase date if you want to track when you bought this batch. Add a Storage location to record where the ammo lives (e.g., Safe - Shelf 2, Range Bag).
7

Link to a firearm (optional)

If these rounds are dedicated to a specific firearm, select it in the Designated firearm field. This links the ammo record to that gun so you can filter your inventory by firearm.
8

Add a reorder link

Paste the product page URL into Product URL. When a low-stock or out-of-stock alert fires, My Kit surfaces this URL as a Buy link directly in the alert action — one click takes you to the store.
Set a product URL for every caliber you rely on for self-defense or competition. That way you can reorder without hunting for the right SKU while under the pressure of a low-stock alert.
9

Save the record

Click Save. The round appears in your ammo list, and its value is immediately reflected in the Kit Value stat card.

Edit or delete a record

To edit an ammo record, click the row in the ammo list and select Edit. Update any fields and click Save. To delete a record, open the row menu and select Delete. Deleting a record removes it and its value from Kit Value permanently. Quantity adjustments from past range sessions are not reversed on deletion.

Quick-adjust quantity

You don’t need to open the full edit form to update a count after a range trip or a new purchase. Each row in the ammo list has + and buttons that increment or decrement the quantity inline. Click + to add rounds (e.g., after buying a new box) or to subtract (e.g., after a session where you didn’t log a formal range day).

Low-stock alerts

My Kit evaluates every ammo record against its threshold whenever quantities change:
  • Warning — quantity is above 0 but below low_stock_threshold. The row shows a yellow Warning badge.
  • Critical — quantity is 0. The row shows a red Critical badge.
When a Product URL is set, the alert action includes a Buy link so you can reorder directly from the alert without navigating away.
The low-stock threshold comparison runs on the current quantity at the time of any change. If you set a very high threshold after recording a large stockpile, you may immediately trigger warnings across multiple calibers.

Auto-deduction during range sessions

When you log a range session and select an ammo record for a firearm, My Kit automatically deducts the rounds fired from that record’s quantity. If you later edit the session and change the round count, the difference is applied correctly. If you delete the session entirely, the deducted rounds are restored. You never need to manually adjust quantity after a logged range session.

Ammo value and Kit Value

My Kit calculates ammo value as quantity × cost_per_round for each record. The sum of all ammo values is included in the Kit Value stat card on the main dashboard alongside your firearms and gear. Records without a cost per round contribute $0 to Kit Value.
