Store all my ammo in military type ammo cans - only have about 20 full right now, but pretty light compared to my brother who has about 175 full cans stacked up!

I'd suggest folks shouldn't think of ammo/ component reserves in terms of Quantity but in terms of Longevity. i.e. Think about how much you shoot on a monthly/yearly basis. Then calculate how much you'll need to lay in to take you through "hard times" without feeling any impact. Personally, (assuming it's in the budget) I'd vote 1 years worth should be minimal and 2-3 justified.
Good news is this stuff doesn't go bad (or get any cheaper.)

I remember Massad Ayoobs suggested response when someone asks "How many guns to you have?"
Answer, "None of your business."
Considering that to be a wise response I feel comfortable applying that same thinking to the ammo question.
Respectfully,
Jim

Conservative estimate 250,000 rounds of assorted ammo. Thing
is about 50,000 rds I don't have the guns to fire it. But I don't get excited, it don't eat nothing and I may get a gun to fire it
tomarrow. I could shoot 7.62 NATO till the cows came home,or
my fingers gave out from pulling it out of links.
