How much do you keep of each caliber?

Oh yeah, same here as far as the mini goes. It would take forever to shoot even 100 rounds from that. I was talking about having it for the 15-22
You don't keep an inventory and update after you shoot? (lol … but I do)
Amount is a secret! But I keep 3 large containers full of 3 pistol calibers, .22, .223 and smaller amounts for big game hunting on hand. When space opens in one of the containers, I am looking for more.
Yep, so do I. There is a small Excel spreadsheet in both of my handheld computers. It is not always perfect but, it gets reconciled every so often and gives me a warm fuzzy about what's on hand.
I especially enjoy shopping for ammo when I don't really "need" any.
I have absolutely no guns or ammo in my residence. I am completely unarmed and reliant on the government to protect me. I am totally outside the need of any scrutiny by any government agency who may be monitoring this forum.

When ammo was plentiful and a brick of .22LR was under $10 (as recent as 2008) 2 or 3 bricks were more than enough. When a shortage that is as deep and long as this on hits 20 or 30 bricks are not enough. I still have plenty of .22LR ammo but that's only because I'm shooting it very sparingly so in effect, I have no ammo either. What good is having ammo if you're afraid to shoot it because you don't know when you will be able to replace it?

Boating accident
When I first joined this forum, I was surprised how many members had frequent boating accidents.
For some unknown reason, shooting enthusiasts and gun collectors seem to be unusually bad boaters.
I actually saved newspaper coverage of my loss:
I have made an extensive search in hopes of recovery but as you can see, my task is difficult:
I tried tying enough 550 cord on to my Bounty Hunter metal detector in order to narrow down the search but as it turns out, the Bounty Hunter metal detector is apparently not water proof.

How much is in a brick. I agree with all the posters who say you never have enough. There's something you just can't explain about the compulsion to buy more ammo. The cheapest 22lr I have seen online is $39 per 500 for cci standard velocity but of course shipping was like $16

How much is enough- depends on how you shoot.
I have a friend who is still on his first brick of .22LR after 5 yrs.
Thats about a single weekend for me.

More than I'll ever shoot, and likely more than my sons will ever shoot.

How much ammo ??
Well you say you have 2000 rounds +or- of 22 's i also agree with one of the other posts you cant reload rimfires so 10000 rounds are not to many and it also depends on how much you shoot , I have 4 grandsons and 5 ruger 10/22's on a nice spring day 1000 rounds are staple for the day so getting them in bulk for what YOU call reasonable is never a bad idea and i dont think to many is possible

The concrete slab in my home hasn't cracked yet, so I keep adding.
I usually try to buy at least one more box than I use of whenever I go to the range. Over time that has given me a decent supply. The time to buy is before the next panic. I got caught flatfooted last time. I want to be able to enjoy my toys.

I like to have a thousand rounds per centerfire caliber. I try to keep about 3000 rounds of 22.
I've made it a habit to pick up at least two boxes of ammo per paycheck. It adds up quicker than you'd think.

Well, I kind of think it's a good thing the gun shows don't happen around here more often. I'd be broke. Seeing all those stacks and tables covered in ammo make me forget about my budget and bills. That being said, 1500 rounds or better of everything I have with one exception. 300 WIN MAG is kind of expensive.

Oft asked question...How much ammo do you have? Standard answer....Not enough.
If I had a warehouse full of ammo, which I don't, and found a good deal on something I shoot I'd buy it.
