They were believed to be linked to a religious cult Agape Ministries.
Former members of the group have filed legal claims saying they were brainwashed into donating large sums of money to move the congregation to a Pacific Island where they were told they would be safe from damnation.
Prosecutors have told the Magistrates Court at Victor Harbor police allegedly found a total of more than 22,000 rounds of ammunition stored in a large shed at Moore's property.
The court heard Moore would fight all the charges.
