I hate to even join this discussion as I know how sensitive it is when it comes to guns but I know a shit ton of hunters and people who enjoy going to the range that are pretty normal people though Im sure many would classify them them as gun nuts just for the fact they enjoy going to a range.

Most of these average range visits its pretty easy to use 200 to 300 rounds. I know many that will be up around 500. Some that bring multiple guns and will do 100 to 200 rounds per caliber/gun. If you go somewhat frequently you can go through a lot of ammunition in the course of a year. This kind of stockpile wouldnt be eye raising for many of the people I know.

And I can say I have enjoyed some range shooting here and there. I have only done it a handful of times in my life but it was super fun to me.

The people I know that shoot like that tend to only have a few thousand stocked at a time because they're using it, and they stock up here and there, but the number still stays relatively low because it's actually being used. Getting to the point of 20,000 seems like it's not being used for range shooting, it's just being stockpiled.
