How many centerfire handgun rounds do you generally keep at home on average. Centerfire handgun rounds only.
Array
Around 2000 rounds of .45 acp fmj and 500 rounds of Ranger SXT. I never get down to my last case before I restock.

One needs at least 500 rounds for each caliber handgun you have. I still need to buy more ammo for some of my handguns but I have at least 2000 rounds now.
Array
At least 600 .45 ACP in a long term storage can. 300 in my BOB. The rifle ammo will be easier since they can be bought in battle packs that are set up for storage. I plan to have at least 1000 rounds of that as well.

Several thousand, all handloads.

Normally have well over 1,000, but the last range trip with my daughter depleted my stock.

I keep about four boxes of factory HP to keep my defensive guns loaded, along with a box of #4 and box of 000 buck for my Mossy.
I seldom have practice ammo around, because I shoot it up quickly.
I don't hoard ammo, although with the world going the way it is, I might start.

Indeed--you can never have too much. If a range session includes at least 200 rounds for pistol practice in any particular caliber, I'd hate to look at it in terms of a 10% loss in my operational plan. I like to keep those expenditures down in the single digit range as much as possible. This lessens the immediate impact for re-supply.

I'm sure that I'm on the low side compared to the rest of you. Couple of hundred max.....and that's spread out over 4 calibers.
Enough for anything other than the zombie invasion......but I'd prob do better to buy range ammo in bulk.
Array
Right now about 1700 or so. I havent been buying lately so it's coming back around time to start stocking back up. I usually keep well over 2,000 rounds in case the zombies invade.

Enough to last me the rest of my life, and I keep on reloading more--go figure.
