Just depends on how you use them, and how many you have. If you have a few guns and shoot them all the time, then keeping a lot of ammo is the way to go. If you have a lot of purpose driven guns ( match rifles, long range precision rifles, varmint rifles, hunting rifles, plinking rifles, and handguns for intended purposes too) then keeping less or loading as needed, seems more practical. That being said, for my handguns and lever action rifles I keep about 3-500 loaded for each ( because I’m more apt to take them shooting just for fun). My prairie dog rifles get ammo loaded for them before the trip ( so all I have on hand is what’s left from the last trip). As for my hunting rifles I pick 4 or 5 that I will hunt with for the season and load 20 rounds for each. I like to try different bullets and see how they perform on game, so some guns never see the same bullet two seasons in a row. Both of my AR’s are hunting rifles (308 and 6.5 Grendel), I keep a couple hundred rounds loaded for each of them. Sorry for rambling, your question just got me thinking.
