How much ammo should you keep on hand?

Saving creates a free account and sets a reserve target on one of your ammo types, so the restock assistant and alerts can use it. Your inputs aren't stored anywhere else.
Assumptions and limits
- Usage is what you entered; a logbook in a free account replaces it with your real burn rate.
- The target is a planning number, not a legal, safety, or storage recommendation. Check your local rules.
- Cost to fill uses the lowest in-stock listing at covered retailers right now, before shipping, tax, and fees. Not the whole market.
- Rounding up to full boxes is the only adjustment. There is no hidden markup or "recommended" extra.
