I'm late to the party but here's the real deal.In one of the classes that I took, the instructor suggested keeping 4,000 rounds for every caliber of gun in your collection.
In reading some of the posts here, I'm hearing that people are stockpiling 10, 20 and 30,000 rounds of ammo and up, and they're still buying more.
Just like the folks who descended upon the stores to clean out the paper towels, toilet paper, and hand sanitizer, panic buying is great for you, but it prevents the rest of us from getting any. It also drives prices through the roof.
I usually buy my summer's supply of ammo in the spring, but because of the panic, I've not been able to get any.
Yes, you have the right to stockpile hundreds of thousands of rounds, but when you do this, you screw everyone else who is worried about the civil unrest situation, or having enough ammo to maintain qualification.
Just a thought.
The guys with the stockpiles your so f***ing jealous about......bought it over the years when it was cheap and plentiful. The people raiding the shelves that you are now bitching about ..... are the dumbasses LIKE YOU who have none and never made up a stockpile. I know you said you buy a summers worth in spring .. ..that means you at some point let it hit zero. There's your problem.
Additionally your ignorance in the matter is clear......you think guys that currently have thousands of rounds stocked up bought it during the pandemic rush......and at these prices? No. We've had it for years. I have not bought a single round of ammo since last winter. And I have PLENTY to enjoy shooting and enough components to make plenty more. You got caught with your pants down. Admit it.
