And I want me one! I figger it's gotta be 800 or a thousand bullet shells at least!

Sure, it sounds good here, but let me share a bit of personal experience.

When I first started USPSA practical shooting, I was using a Taurus TP-99. I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to run out of ammo during the stages, so I loaded up my rig (an Ernie Hill Speed Leather rig, leather over steel), w/ 4 mag pouches, the pistol, and 5 full mags (75 rounds of 9mm), and the first time I tried using it, it was all I could do to keep my belt from pulling my pants down around my ankles! Believe it or not, there is such a thing as having too much ammo with you!

There's a reason for tactical, load bearing vests!

NOT TRUE. The only times you can have to much ammo is when you are drowning or if you are on fire. Otherwise you just have to pay more attention to how you load out and carry.
