How much reloading stock do you keep on hand?

[MHWASH]

It’s 2am and I’m bored, sitting in the ER with my son who got flash burns in shop class. I’m not really feeling the crunch. I went into the election season with 10+#s of powder, several hundred bullets and close to 1000 total of L,S,& M rifle primers. I’ll admit I’m probably only a 500 rounds a year rifle shooter.

I’ll admit though, I’ve been stocking up since the election.

Are you a prepared loader, or buy as you need it?

Been reloading for close to 40 years and am probably fall into the prepped category.  Lots of different powders, multiples of each, dies for about 15 cartridges, brass for everything and bullets for everything.   Just like firewood, keep more in the woodpile than you would expect to burn in a couple years.

I see stories about all the powder, primer and bullet shortages - with dates all the way back to 2010 so figure its not going to change.  I worry with only a years supply and feel better keeping a 3 year supply.

When it gets down to a years worth better start shopping - may take a year to restock.

I am in the same boat as you, very well put Sir!

I am sitting good right now.  Been able to help some people that didn’t have any.   Friend just got a custom and had zero powder or primers for it.  People have called me a hoarder, but it seems its always the guys who really want something.  I have 16 pounds of powder and 2k primers  per barrel

Not enough to target shoot near as much as I want, but plenty enough for hunting purposes for a while.

Hey, there's probably no chance you'd let me buy back that 8lb'er of Retumbo I sold for the same price is there?

Never enough
With that said,enough to weather the storm for awhile.
And not pay crazy prices.

I was thinking about that!  I am actually meeting a guy today to trade it for primers.

Can't say due to self incrimination, but I'm sure it would be defined by some sort of "Compulsive Disorder"

Seeing the stupid crazy prices H1000 and Retumbo is going for on GB and having sold two 8's or each in the last year to guys here for what I paid for it because I didn't really need it and they did, me nice guy I guess maybe, but me stupid guy, definitely!

This is getting nuts.  Buddy in Spokane called me this morning. He was sitting in the parking lot of sportsman warehouse. He was getting ready to go inside.  Had a person approach his vehicle, knocked on the window and asked him if he'd be interested in some primers.
Asked what he had and how proud he was of them. The salesman said he had whatever he wanted.
The price was 130.00 a brick. 

Said he would pass.  But good luck with your sales.
