If factory loads are not available, relaoding supplies will not be available. So either scenario involves stockpiling,


True, to a point. If you have numerous calibers, stockpiling commercial ammo can take up space. However, if you reload, some of the components, e.g., primers and powder may be used for different calibers. I know it's not always a huge space saver, but here we tend toward numerous small gains adding up to large ones.
