Same here. I’ve been dollar-cost averaging my ammo and components since the late 1990’s. I don’t run out because I plan to avoid running out. I’ve not been below 20lbs of Varget/H110/H4350, less than 10,000 of any size of primer, less than 30,000 rounds of 22LR, or less than 10,000 rounds of 9mm on hand even despite any of the various “supply shortages” over the last decade. I also keep separate books for competition components - if I run dry on my competition components, I’ll still have my “casual use” inventory which largely exceeds what I would expect to use in my own lifetime.
But I keep buying more at every paycheck...
