You only need enough ammunition in order to hunt.... Having any more than one person could use in a year would make you a survivalist terrorist nut.

I remember seeing a bag of 7 mm Wtby Mag brass on a local dealer's shelf for at least 10 years. When a buddy needed to get some for his rifle, the price jumped by 300%. I know it costs the local merchant to have it sit idle, but the retailer said that for him to "replace" it, it would cost the current rate. Seller's market right now.Oddly enough I was also at Wholesale Sports and saw they were "clearing" out a bunch of old stock Excel bullets...Old stock with current pricing. Some deal
You know I think your right. There are going to be quit a few guys that don't keep abreast of current affairs wondering what on earth happend when they go to look for ammo in the fall.

Not in the last 4 years...I would really be curious to know if the retailer actually replaced the item after the sell.
