You'd probably be surprised by the number of folks who have tens of thousands of rounds. When ammo prices started going up, pretty much everyone I know who shoots at all started buying in bulk. Not saying everyone who has a gun is trained or mentally prepared to shoot trespassers for months on end, but I think a lot of people who think farms and ranches will be easy pickings haven't spent enough time with the folks who live out here.

I shoot recreationally, two guns in the same caliber, maybe once every two months, and have 4-5k rounds stacked in the closet.

If you shoot often, and have multiple guns in multiple calibers, 50k rounds is not difficult at all, especially if you have anything "weird" where you will likely buy as much of the ammo as you can find.
