I've had this conversation with non-gun people and they think we're all a bunch of 'doomdayers' if we have more than a cylinder/magazine worth of ammo.
I know what you mean, and agree that it's all a matter of perception. I'm sitting on about 4000 rounds (not counting what I could make with reloading components on-hand). That figure would make most of my non-shooting friends drop their jaws, but that's spread across a half-dozen calibers, and a full quarter of it is .22lr (and we know how easy it is to blow through .22 ammo).
Couple that with the fact that I get out to the range a couple of times per week, and I don't think of it as "hoarding" - to me, it's a couple months' worth of ammo, and a nice hedge against having to pay gun store prices for ammo because I've let myself run out.
