How do you know when to stop buying ammo?

I have more than I will ever use. Since I don't really use it for anything more than sighting in a new rifle it barely gets used. My lever actions and single action revolver don't need sighting in so I will probably never use any of it.
Theoretically, yes. But I'm not there yet, so can't say for sure.
Ammo, stored correctly, should last for several decades at least. I can't think of many things that have gone down in price in that time frame (excluding buggy whips and telegrams). Consider it an investment. And as a plus, it's more useful than a savings account.
That's probably about right. I'm sure I have waaay less than some guys on here, NWS would laugh at what I thought was a "lot" for sure, but it's getting close to where I'm less enthused about buying it.
buy silver instead, its at a decent price
i switch between silver, firearms, ammo, and tools depending on price, my needs, and wants
Ideally I'd like to be able to survive a long term ammo drought like we're seeing in reasonably priced rimfire now. 2-3k/per caliber won't get me there.
lol, yeah when I first got married I had a 10/22, maybe 200 rounds and a Ruger P89 with maybe 150 rounds. That seemed like a lot at the time.
Two....some of the cheapest but effective I can. 9mm and 5.45x39. Its amazing that I can buy 5.45 cheaper than most 9mm. Right now my minimum acceptable stock is allegedly 1k of defensive stuff and 2k Fmj. I do have a press now which should bring my target ammo cost down to $6/50.
