I, for one, will confess to keeping several 1,000 rounds on hand. Then again, with me, the wife, and 3 kids, when we spend a weekend shooting, we will eat up 1000-1500 rounds easily. And with the scarcity, I want enough on hand to last several weekends.... (The best part is, the wife doesn't complain when there are 5,000-10,000 rounds in cans taking up closet space.)
If you plan to actually use them within a month or two it's one of those things. I can bet a lot either resell for a profit or just sit on it and it's pretty much the same ones that buy the limit every time with multiple people all buying for the same person. I wouldn't mind having 1500 to 2k on hand but if I shoot two guns at two matches I will burn through that in about 3 months not including a run to the range. Right now I have about 800 on hand. I can see where having five people wanting to each shoot will require a lot more available.
I could have bought 3 555 round boxes and 3 333 boxes in Hot Springs but figured enough to get me by a month or two would do for now rather than to kill another person's chance for fun. I have bought the limit in Guthrie once and only kept one box for myself. The other two were sold to someone who worked during the morning/day and by the time I drove down to OKC I took a loss on it. I do seriously hope that things will get back to business as usual when the oval office is painted red again.
