How much ammo do you keep on hand?
After the last panic buy I started keeping a stockpile. Sitting on 772 rds of .22 LR and 1477 rds of 10mm. Some guys keep way more.
What's your number? And don't say "not enough" lol

I tell new shooters to aim for 1000 rounds minimum per caliber they own. Gives you enough to practice regularly without panic buying every time there's a scare. Your numbers look pretty reasonable tbh.
I keep about 500 rounds of carry ammo (HST and Gold Dot) plus 2000-3000 practice rounds in 9mm. Students go through a lot during classes and I like having extras on hand. Your 10mm stash is solid - that stuff gets pricey fast so good on you for stocking up during the good times.
Sitting on about 8k rounds of 9mm right now. I know that sounds crazy but I shoot 300-400 rounds every weekend for USPSA practice. Learned my lesson in 2020 when I couldn't find anything. Rather have too much than scramble for ammo when match season starts.
Can you share more details on your setup? I'm trying to decide between a few options right now.
Facts. I switched to the same thing about 5 months ago and it was a game changer.
