Interesting video on ammo stockpiling, according to the video you need far less ammo than what most people might think.

How many people one expects to kill in a gunfight or use in hunting isn't the measure of one's ammunition needs.
One will want enough ammunition to keep shooting even during periodic shortages and price fluctuations.
Double Bingo!I stockpile ammo to save money and keep shooting recreationally during panic buying. I’ve still got some Winchester Q3131A I bought from Bass Pro for $142/1000. During the big ammo drought I remember seeing people asking $900 for that same ammo.
Buying in bulk lets me cut down on ammo costs. Having enough ammo on hand to ride out a panic means I can buy when it is $142 or $250 per thousand instead of when it is $900 per thousand.
