Then you don't have any guns, just very heavy expensive paper weights.
how much ammo have you stock-piled?

There are ony two situations where you can have too much ammo -
when you're on fire
when you're drowning
when you're on fire
when you're drowning
I have a lot of ammo and components but after moving twice in the last year I am questioning my hoarding.

Plenty of handgun ammo. Not enough 308, 7.62x54 (non-corrosive) or 12 guage.

I began a practice of keeping my main ammo stores to a limited cal.
Handgun: 45 acp and 38 spl +p got ammo and 3 guns for cal.
Long gun: 12 shot(buck) .223 and .22
But by some numbers, I am behind, for at 1,000 rounds I felt ok. 22 is common and easy to get in 500 round bulk.
I do feel the progressives(socialists) will do something to make it hard to get ammo asap.

I am one of those who do not like to advertise the amount of anything that I have on an open forum. Having said that, I am beginning to really ponder just how much ammo I need to keep on hand. I believe that once all the brass I have on hand right now is loaded, that I will just be stocking up on all the other components for a while.
Realistically speaking, I can only think of two reasons for storing a "lot" of ammo. I use a good amount in competition throughout the Spring, Summer, and Fall. During the winter, shooting slows down, and reloading takes on a whole new meaning!
I keep enough on hand to be able to shoot my competitions for two seasons just in case I am unable to get components, or for some other reason I am not able to reload throughout a winter. I learned this the hard way, when I was all out, and had to reload on Saturday for the Sunday matches for an entire year. That sucked!
The second reason for stockpiling ammo as I see it, is the rising coast of ammo and reloading components. I am at the point where I have plenty of ammo on hand, and will now just buy as many componenets as I can afford before Mr. Hope & Change and his administration make it very hard to obtain them through price (tax) hikes or outright banning.
The self defense/home defense stuff doesn't get used up, just replaced on an annual basis. I may buy extra premium ammo soon, just because the price will be out of reach before too long. I don't see myself buying massive amounts of it though.

Listing would take far too long, so I'll just say; More than that admitted to in all the preceding posts. I always bought when I saw a "Good Deal", thus I've accumulated just the right ammount of ammo: "One box short of 'Too Many' and one box short of 'Just Enough"

I just found a box of pristine, old, .221 remington fireball, but I have never seen a firearm that shoots this round. I also have boxes of .303, .45-90, and .35 remington, and I have yet to see any guns that shoot these. I wonder if i should sell this stuff...
