You can't have too much unless you're swimmin'. Between Y2K, the scamdemic, and ban scares every few years, it seems prudent to never stop stacking ammo.
I have 600 cases of .495 A-Square
I am up to about 800 cases for .375 Ruger since Hornady won't make cases available.
If the ammo manufacturers think I will EVER go for another "new/greatest thing since sliced bread/better/modern/improved cartridge again, they are about as sane as a male slicing off his gear to become a female. I waited 10 years to try to insure the .375 Ruger was gonna have legs before I took the plunge. Now Hornady plans on making cases available every 4-5 years!?!? Sure - $85/20 rounds for loaded ammo is out there. Lesson learned on my end.
I bought a 375H&H just to always have access to this bore - will probably rent a reamer and open it up to Ackley Improved - better ballistics, no impact on ammo availability.
I still keep salting away: .308WIN, 358WIN, ..30-06, 35 WAI. Hopefully, multiple Central American countries will vie for my widow's attention trying to buy up my ammo stores after I hit the pearly gates.
@USMA84DAB when I read your post, “800 cases of 375 Ruger,” I started doing the math in my head: 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case, so 20x10x800 =160,000. Then I concluded you meant 800 pieces of brass (I think).
