I don't think you can have too much ammo, if you can afford it. More apparently, it is up to your personal preference, as long as you play well with others and make sure your fellow sportsmen, hunters, and recreational shooters have access to the same.
For example, I don't have much money/I'm poor (but rich in so many areas like having awesome friends!). So I only stock about 1000 rounds at a time (it is more economical to buy 1k rounds at a time because of shipping-usually only $200 for 9mm) of 9mm for my competition needs. 1000 rounds only lasts about 2 months.
I use 90% of it at competition, while most serious competitors use it in the exact opposite ratio; 90% at practice, 10% at matches.
I compete twice a month. Well, it's more like one and a half, since I shoot a Glock or other 9mm only, at 3GN, unless I'm borrowing someone's gear for a stage or two.
The main concern, for me, when buying ammunition and storing it, is mainly to have about 200 rounds of SD/hunting ammunition. Other than that, if I run out of the other stuff, I just stop shooting.
I guess, budget and how rich you are resolves this question, at a higher rate. :thumb:
