15. 2000 rounds isn't a large quantity for a hobbyist

I could easily go through 200 rounds of ammunition myself during an afternoon at the range. If I'm taking other people shooting the bump that up to 500 rounds or more. Many shooters buy in bulk to save money, so having several thousand rounds isn't really a large number.

This is particularly true if the ammo was .22LR. That is frequently sold in 525 round boxes, which themselves are frequently sold in cartons of 4. That is 2100 rounds in a commonly purchased quantity.
