So am I ok with 10k in each caliber or not?

I'll say the same thing. Unless you think you have enough to shoot for your kids' lifetimes, it isn't enough. When it is not full retard prices, I try and spend at least $200/mth to increase my stock. That does not include what I or my kids shoot. 50 bucks a week is easy to do. Just do it every week
How many can you carry ?
You'll wish you had more when they come for you.
10k in .22 is easy.
same with my pistol calibers until you get up into .45 land.
when you start trying to get 30.06 for a Garand, 10k rounds i$ a tall order for $ome of u$.

Just calculated I shot over 75K rounds last year and could have easily blown through 100K if I didn't show some restraint!
Hopefully that was all .22, or you reload!

I picture you as the guy with the baseball cap.

I think that's overkill, because you can have short term ammo shortages, maybe even lasting a few years, but unless all the factories close, or .gov manages to ban something, eventually prices normalize. And if .gov bans a certain ammo they'll likely ban possession, not just purchase.
Prices do not normalize. They go up. Do they sometimes spike? Yes, but they don't come back to where they were. Just look at 5.56 prices over the past 10 years.

^^^ This.
Back in the early 2000s, I was buying 9mm Rem/WWB for $8.99/100 at Wal-Mart and Dickless. I paid ~$100/case for 1000 rds of PMC .223, 9mm/.40S&W/.45ACP all at Four Seasons (all brass case US mfr). Back in the mid-2000s I bought 7.62x39 Wolf for $79/1000.
Check today's prices and let me know where they have "normalized" to prices close to this, I'm all ears!
I'm not old enough to remember these days... thats must have been amazing haha

The correct answer is if you're not using one of these to move it around, you can't even start talking about having "enough" ammo.

I'm sorry that you can't afford to survive the zombie apocalypse. ;p
Speaking of, how high does the pile have to be before zombies stop climbing over it to see what's on the other side? Hypothetically, of course?
I need a zombie wall calculator app.
50% 22 , 5.56 and 45 for the rest (some 380 12GA and some 5.45), it's unfortunate that I have a gun range at the end of my street and go for lunch several times a week... or fortunate....
no reloads except from Freedom Munitions
Any idea what year that was published in? It'd be fun to convert those prices into todays dollars adjusted for inflation.

$50 in 1969 is about $320 today.
So, my preferred caliber for handguns is 9mm.
Currently, I have 3000 rounds as my "SHTF stash." This is put away and not touched.
Is it enough? I am speaking just for handguns...not long guns.
What say you?
