I had 700 rounds in my trunk, and I remember thinking about how controllers would describe that as an "ammo cache". Mind you, this was all contained within 3 small boxes that fit inside of a grocery bag. One brick of .22LR (500 rounds) and 2 boxes of Remington UMC 9mm (200 rounds total).

My DW and FIL ended up going through about 500 rounds of it with me over the course of an hour. For someone who shoots regularly, it is common place to have thousands of rounds on hand to avoid having to routinely stop in to your local Wally World or remain constantly seated at a reloading bench.
