Ammo will be worth more than gold WTSHTF. Even spending $25 every pay day on a 100-round brick of 12 gauge birdshot at Wal-Mart, or $20 on a 550-round box of .22LR will pay off exponentially...as barter material, being able to put food on the table and for defense against two-legged predators.

Of course, it's also a good idea to have at least 500 rounds for every weapon in your arsenal, and 1000 rounds for your workhorse rifles. That way, when those with the "I have a gun, so I can get all the food, gold and ammo I want from my neighbors" attitude can become carrion for the vultures in your driveway.

I agree that ammo is a fine way to save your wealth in the form of useful barterable tangibles.

But your statement is economically meaningless. “Worth more”? Per unit weight? (You’re dreaming).
