Yep.

A friend and I go to the range every Thursday. We shoot targets, steel and the breeze. Including our participation in 50 yard .22 LR benchrest, we've shot over 5K rounds of .22 LR in addition to many other rounds.

Yet, I have felt a need to get what I can when I can with the cost per round being a limiting factor.

I don't know how many shooters have 10K+ in storage but expect that many benchrest guys do, although they are often selling off less than satisfactory lots at the various shoots. I know of maybe 15 or so shooters with 30K+ in storage, some with beaucoup $ and some with not much of anything else except the rifle (usually a 10/22) to shoot it.

I know of one man who only uses 50-rounds a year who could not get "his" box at the beginning of the year just by walking into a gun store. So, he cast about for a bit and bought a full case of that ammo. He might not buy any more but he paid the "whatever" price just to ensure he was not going to come up short.
