"A person must not own or have in his or her possession ammunition that exceeds the reasonable needs of that person for the immediately following 12 months."

Yes, there are definitely rules regarding quantity of ammo stored here in Victoria. It is regulated by Dangerous Goods (Explosives) Regulations 2011 (SR # 37/2011)
The pertinent section is Regulation 82, Part 5 of the Act and limits "small scale" storage by persons other than a Licenced Firearms Dealer to 40 000 rounds. There is no provision for type of ammunition at all, it is 40K in total. If you can satisfy Workcovers requirement for "medium scale" storage it goes up to 1 000 000 cartridges,
For reloading purposes, you can only store 10 000 primers, a stupid amount if you buy by the box of 5000, and use 4-6 types, and a maximum of 20Kg of propellant.Cheers.
It cracks me up that WorkSafe - the people who deal with slip n falls - also deal with ammunition in Vic.

In the "deep North" we have our own explosives directorate with the mine department. Probably because we have more mining activity.

That is strange, because in NSW empty brass is not considered ammunition.
