Apologies if this is already the case, but Marksdwarves in training should use up the smallest stacks of practice ammo first.
In a siege they should go for the largest.

[Sowelu]

And how should they decide, in a siege, between a stack of ten bolts sitting right next to them and a stack of fifty sitting a hundred tiles away?

I'm sure something satisfactory will happen around the same time as restacking goes in...  

[Forumsdwarf]

Restacking would definitely be a far more optimal solution to the problem than anything I've suggested.

Really we only just need that quivers are allowed to take multiple kinds of bolts, as many other containers already allow.

What's holding back restacking, anyway? It doesn't seem like it should be that complicated to implement.

Often in coding, things that should be simple are not.

There are different qualities, how do you handle that?

What about different bolt materials?

To combine two stacks, you need to destroy one, and add it to the other.  How can you handle destroying something without causing problems, like dwarves trying to use a stack that isn't there?
