There are 3 issues:

1 - Practicing to stay proficient.

2 - Minimum store for harder times.

3 - Do these numbers apply to all calibers you own?

For me: Handguns = 100 rds/Mo. practice with various calibers and 1000 rds min. storage in primary caliber.

AR = 30 rds/Mo. practice and 1000 rds min. storage

Hunting = 10 Rds/Mo. practice and 500 min storage

Shotgun = Depends on your situation and interests (hunting, survival, self-defense)

This is a good answer.
