Most civilians cannot get a carry license.

In Holland its actually the opposite... keeping guns at the club is way common there.
And they are limited to a max of 5 guns.

hence there is way more trade in Holland , they can't hoard and must rotate to experience more different guns...

In Belgium we are actually allowed quite a lot compared to NL FR or UK
Reloading is fine (UK requires license, Ireland banned)
Semi autos are fine
buying boxes of 1000 rds 762 and 1000 rds 556 and 1000 rds 45ACP in one go.. nobody bats an eyelid (except for my GP when I had done my back in hauling it to the house)

There is only a limit of maximum 10kg total smokeless powder to be on premise at any given time.
And it is really just a hazards regulations limit, not entirely gun law limitation as far as I am aware.
Well, 10 kg of powder is a lot of ammo and reloading components, I can assure you..

Unless you are hoarding loads of different types of powder, and not really using it often.. you are not going to be limited by that 10 kg.
And you can get around it.. if you have a good neighbor and have him store another 10 kg in his garden shed.. just in case (Belgians are masters at bending rules )
