With all the terrorists that are getting into the country, there is never enough.
I don't always carry all my groceries on one arm, but when I do, my keys are usually in the wrong pocket.

i like to have at least 1000 rounds for every gun i own
The rifle has no will of its own it may be used for evil but there are more good men than evil men and evil will be corrected by good men with rifles.

Load up on what you can use the most or find more of down the road in the popular calibers, my STW will end up bring an expensive club since I can’t get ammo for it.

I make sure to be THAT guy everyone will think is crazy for all the stuff I've squirreled away. Problem is the cost! I made the jump many years ago and bought reloading gear and am always on the lookout for reasonably priced components. Ammo has an indefinite shelf life.

Just to be sure.

A lifetime supply then when you reach that one might plan for your kids.i don't shot a lot compared to a lot of guys but I won't be caught short again. I'm a slower learner but I've seen enough shortages that I've figured it out.
If you accidentally get too much, who doesn't like to shot?

Loaded factory ammo, as much as you want or can store.
If loading your own, as many components as you want or can store, but go slow on stockpiling your loaded ammo much beyond what is needed to keep shooting short term. General consensus among reloaders is they trust their own but nobody else's reloads. Amazing how often I hear guys talking about buying up a stash of reloaded ammo from some estate or something, then pulling it all down.
Basically follows the line that the only two people I trust to do this right are you and me, and I'm not so sure about you.

As much as you can get. It's hard to do with the current prices and shortages in powder/primers. At the very least have enough for a few waves of attacks then there will be some to collect.

No such thing as too much. It don't eat anything.
Some individuals use statistics as a drunk man uses lamp-posts — for support rather than for illumination.

It' is better to have ammo in times of no money
Than it is to have money in times of no ammo
