Have you compared the BR4's to 400 and 450's?

And how many components should one have on hand? Seems to me that to enjoy the shooting and hunting I do I need to stock at a certain level in case there are interruptions in the supply chain like in 1994 and 2008. And if anyone is caught short now, it would be in my opinion their fault and not the fault of hoarders or scalpers. We control our own destiny to a point!

I'm a CCI and Federal kind of guy. Although, I do use Rem 9 1/2 in my 7mm-08 and Wolf LRM primers in my 300 WM b/c I already have loads worked up for them.

I have to tell you I've had some really outstanding results with the Wolfe LRM primers. I used them in a couple of my varmmint rifles 22-250 and a 6MM.

I like to keep at LEAST 5k of each size primer on hand, and a minimum of 8lb of each powder I use.
