I don't give a darn how good a price the feds are getting on it, unless it is under ten cents a round, having 50 to 100 years worth of ammo is insane. I did a bit of searching and I found:

 

Lt. Gen. Levin H. Campbell, Jr., Chief of Ordnance from 1942 to
1946, proudly had this to say:

From Pearl Harbor to V-J Day the Industry-Ordnance team furnished to
the Army and 43 foreign nations 47 billion rounds of small arms
ammunition, approximately 11 million tons of artillery ammunition,
more than 12 million rifles and carbines, approximately 750,000
artillery pieces and 3/2 million military vehicles.
