Think yourselves lucky you can buy as much as you like... here in "Banned-it" country of the Uk, the amount of ammo for each calibre is limited to what they consider you need...
According to my FAC (FireArms Certificate), I can only possess 2000x .22rf, 750x .38/.357, 750x .223, 600x .308 and 500x 7.62x39.
...so most people who shoot a reasonable amount reload their own.... and that doesn't get recorded on your FAC...
It was paycheck time this weekend.
Daryll, not to rub it in but I went to F&S yesterday and purchased 10 boxes (25 per box) of Remington 12 GA field loads ($4.98/box) and a bucket of 350 Remington 9 mm ($79.99). I had a $10 of coupon to boot
That sgammo is the devil. I get emails almost daily on the deals. I've taught myself not to open them. Otherwise I end up with ammo on my doorstep as well.The last two years I have been shooting ammo I purchased years ago. I haven’t had to spend a dime on shells or cartridges for any class or range day in over two years. 7 months before the 2016 election I had an order from SG ammo arrive at my doorstep every payday. All orders were by the case instead of the box because the fear that crooked Hillary was going to win. I always write on the case the price I paid with shipping included, some amounts were a good savings and some prices are not happy to look at because today’s prices are lower.
Guess I could start looking at ammo again since I have some room now (two years in the making). Rule is purchase buy the case and when a good price is found. At least I don’t need any magazines, I have many still in the wrapper and never used. I’m still good on magazine and recoil springs for the handguns.

I`m such a slacker .....I only have about 100 rounds for each handgun and about 200 for the shotguns.

When you buy ammo, it has to be entered on your FAC, and you can't buy more than your allowance.... but of course theres no check that you have used all that you previously had, so it is possible to stockpile more than your allowance... but obviously illegal...and the Police do have the right to do spot checks if they suspect you of anything illegal.
Edit... another thought is that over here, factory ammo is pretty expensive compared to the US, so most people who shoot a reasonable amount reload their own.... and that doesn't get recorded on your FAC...
