Just how much ammo is too much to keep on hand ?
Guns you have or still don't have ?
Is 100# of precision hand loaded 9mm too much
I weigh it by the pound......
40 S&W is just as badd......trade bait WTSHTF ??
Do you at least own a 9? I've got 2k rounds of ammo in a caliber I don't own.

In a true end of the world as we know it scenario, the chances are pretty good that every single one of us is going to leave this world while having had "too much" ammo. That probably even applies to the guy who only has 100 rounds. The trick is, not to leave this world because of having had too little ammo.
If I die tomorrow, it will be a fact that I currently have "too much ammo". However, until I die, I'll just assume that I don't yet have enough.

One more than not enough...
Actually there is no such a concept.... Moms Demand Action made up that term, just to motivate the other dumb bimbos and Ho Mos that follow them...

When your shelf it full, it's pretty easy to find an additional shelf.
When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.

jeesh. They sell excess shipping containers for that purpose. Amateur. 
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Too much ammo = the square root of a negative number = i
in other words an imaginary number.
by definition, it doesn't exist, but can be useful for certain calculations I guess.

What I used to keep and what I keep now are 2 different things
I always kept a bundle of .22LR on hand because the family uses it heavily. Also because I had friends who owned an LGS, and I made it a point to buy something every time a I walked through the door. It added up bigly
I hadn't loaded for handguns since the 1980s, until recently. And my handgun world has expanded. 10 years ago I had a 1911 .45, a K frame .357, and a J frame .22. Things change
Still, the only CF handgun ammo I keep any real stock of is the 9mm
Until 2018 or so I hadn't owned a 9mm handgun since the early 80s. When things took a turn towards sanity after 2016, I recognized an opportunity and bought 9mm ammo right.
8-10 cents per round
Most of my rifles I try to keep 100 rounds loaded and ready. Components to keep that going comfortably
The 25-06 I keep Nearly 300 rounds loaded (2 different loads)
I lose some brass hunting, and don't feel any pressure yet to replace them

Ive got 10 shotgun shells, 87 22lr hollow points, 21 30-06 rounds, and 7 rounds for my carry gun, a Glock. Yall think that's enough? Is that rolling around on the floor of your truck? Or, loose in your sock drawer? LOL do I know you? Have you rode with me?  At one time when I first started loading shotgun shells, I had 2 cases of every shot size from #2 to #7.5 stuck back on a shelf. My kids got to be teenagers and the next time I looked I bet I didn't have 10 boxes left TOTAL! LOL. Of course that situation had to be remedied. Im not worried about having ammo. If I don't shoot more in the next 30 years than I have in the last 30 years, Ive got enough to last 150 years at least.
