I have found that the amount of ammo that you can afford is probably the best reply to the question. I have failed in that at least one time; back when we could get 8mm for pennies I only bought a few thousand rounds... I have regretted it ever since. Remember that some calibers will become harder to get ammo for. I remember the day when we thought we were getting ripped off for 7.62x39 at $70.00 , and last month I purchased 3k rounds at $179.00 per case... it could well be that the ammo will dry up as it did for the 8mm or rise significantly like the .223 or other rounds.
