It takes a while or a lot of cash to accumulate a comfortable stash. I think a 10 year supply is enough for me to not worry about spikes in demand and prices that can last a year or more.

Heck, I am even looking at selling some 7.62 x 39 and 8x57 once I feel the prices peak. It won't be long now. Or I may end up trading it for some 5.56

Depending on how much you shoot and the type off ammo. I have A LOT of 5.45 because at one point it was just slightly more expensive then 22lr.

Since the better prices are in general on bulk items, it makes sense to buy ammo this way. I was paying $190 for 1,000 rounds. That went up a little while back, it's now around $225 per 1k, but then again, I have not seen the amount of Fudd going on with ammo- but I sure have seen it missing from the shelves.
I keep enough to enjoy myself for the summer.

I do not think there is a sufficient amount of ammo, ever! If I shoot 100 rds of 223 and so does my wife each time we go to the range ( backyard) and we train twice a month, that is 400/mo X 12 mo = 4800 rds So a minimum of 5K for us would leave only 200 rds for a whole year for hunting/informal plinking. So 10K would be about right since I would buy in bulk and pick it up ( saving price of ship ). I would buy whatever you need to feel comfortable with then add another 2K. Be Safe,

No matter how much ammo I have, it never feels like it's enough. I have a decent stash of factory ammunition. To insulate myself further from ammunition shortages caused by panic buying, I learned to reload ammunition. I have enough reloading supplies on hand to load a few thousand rounds in each caliber I shoot.

It's nice being your own ammunition manufacturer. If I need ammunition, I make it. The brass case is the most expensive component of ammunition. Not discarding it after one use saves me money. Picking up stray brass in my lane at the range saves me money.

At least 1,000 rounds of each caliber you own. You really should have been stocking up the last couple of years. I bought a few boxes here and there when I found sales and built a stash. Ammo is definitely not going to get any cheaper.
