Hoarding is what other people do. When I do it, it is wisely stocking up.

One man's hoard is another man's reasonable supply... It's very subjective.
But I have an friend who has 20K+ rounds of 5.56 ammo. He doesn't even own a weapon that chambers 5.56. Ok, that's hoarding. But he's crying now. He paid top-$ for his hoard and now he's under water on it by a considerable margin.
Hording
1) when someone else has crap you wanted but was to lazy to stock up when it was readily available.
2) When someone refuses to sell you the crap you wanted at pre panic prices.

MY opinion is that if you ONLY have 5-10k rounds on hand you're a misguided noob.
Hoarding in the pejorative sense is buying something you have no use for and don't intend to use.
I know people who shoot 5k rounds a month, and I certainly shoot 5k rounds a year.
You should keep enough ammo on hand to give you 2-3 years of your normal shooting. How much that is depends entirely on the individual. That will get you through any of the historic shortages. That's not hoarding, that's just maintaining a rotating stock.
I personally feel anyone with less than 10k rounds on hand to be woefully underprepared, but that's just my opinion
