IMO it depends on what all you hunt, and how much you shoot each year.

I'd say you're short on everything by a factor of 10.

Until you have more than a lifetime supply it's not hoarding, it's just being prudent.

If you load it in a 1 ton pick-up when moving, and it doesn't sit the truck down on its overload springs; you don't have enough.

This isn't going to end up as one of those bad programs on Discovery Channel where family members and mental health professionals do interventions is it? Op, that is more ammo than my grandfather shot in his lifetime and except for the 22lr less ammo than I shot last year. So, I think you could also use some more ammo but with the amount you have I wouldn't run out and spend crazy prices on any more. Just make sure some of pistol ammo is dead on reliable hollow point and that you have a few boxes of buck shot.
Of course, if you plan a lot of range time or plan to take any training classes, the amount of ammo you have will run out quickly.

Just sayin...IMO THATS why the scaricity of stuff is happening 'cause folks is "Gettin Ready"for the Big Showdown WTSHTF. Posse Comitatus or not...

Personally, I don't worry much about it. I cast and reload, and have good supply of all components.

"enough" and "ammunition" are two words that do not fit together.
Its an oxymoron

Been hoarding for years.
Currently sitting on over 200,000 rds of 22, 80,000 of 308, 125,000 of 9mm, 77,000 of 380, and 200,000 7.62-25.
When you gots lots of full autos, you need lots of bullets for them.
I shoot weekly.
