Well in the day of the internet why does it matter? I have enough to support my habits.
 
Because I have no automatics or semiautomatics, I hava only 2-300 for .22LR, .22Hornet, 12-70/222Rem, .223Rem, .22-250Rem, .308Win, .30-06Spr and 9.3x57Mauser. T/C Contender 9mm Luger 500-600 and .357Rem Maximum T/C G2/Dan Wesson 600.
I never use fabrik or surplus cartridges. Cases for those guns thousends.

whats the average number of rounds people keep and of what caliber.

Enough .223 and 9mm that my neighbors would crap if they knew. Ever since my service days in the '60s I have had a fear of running out of ammo.
 
Even though I'm not a new reloader (started in 2000), I'm rebuilding my equipment and component stocks from scratch. (Left most of my old stuff with my dad who is now 1500 miles away :()

ATM I have the dies to reload 9mm, 45 ACP & .308. Soon I will have dies for .300 Wby too.

I just scored on .45 acp brass at an indoor pistol range... about 1000 pieces FREE once fired.

Bought 600 9mm from a dude on here, grade 3 brass (somebody was loading +P loads, lots of blow primers) but will work for cheap low power lead plinking loads.

I have 200 cases of WRA 67 7.62x51mm brass I'm working out loads in now, certainly want more too but the price has gone up so much.

Only 4 powders at the moment. I flirted with buying surplus pulldown, but its just not worth it as I can buy new for 30% more. I use: Power Pistol, WSF, Varget and RE22. I probably wont buy anymore WSF when I'm done with it as powerpistol works for everything I need.
 
Twelve rounds of each on the ready

How many rounds does it require to slaughter a VICIOUS HOME-INVADING THUG or two. When I go to the rifle range, I often manage to muster 100 rounds in a given caliber. Sometimes that takes some serious handloading and planning. I often have more empty brass than reloads, but not always. Cliffy
 
Let us just say try to keep three months ahead on my needs. I keep brass prepped ie for handguns that means polished and stored ready.

Always. Reloading for 223 involves a lot more case prep then handgun rounds.

Amassing 10k of 223 reloaed ammo will probably with lee hand press take you a long time.
 
Enough for for several skirmishes, or, one sustained firefight, but not enough for a final protective fire.
