I was curious how other members felt in regards to stockpiling ammunition. I find the quandary to be that I want enough for myself but I don't want to die sitting on top of thousands and thousands of rounds I never used. By the same token I don't want to have a lot of my money tied up in said stockpile that I never used.
I've seen guys that have tens of thousands of primers and supplies just for reloading. My reloading supplies is anemic in comparison. As for ammunition, depending on the gun I have anywhere from a handful to thousands of rounds. With the current scare I haven't done much shooting, it almost feels like we're in a bad harvest year.
It would be nice to have 10,000 rounds of 9mm but I don't even think I'd get through it all in a lifetime. Granted if there were more shooting events in my area I may. But for pure recreational shooting I have never felt I didn't have enough.
I realize enough and more are obvious answers. But what is considered practical or safe?
