I got "caught" with a new purchase. When I found 308 Mauser M12's going for $500 I bought one. I already had dies and 358 and 7-08 brass, if needed. l already shoot an '06 so plenty of bullets. Same with large rifle primers. When I received the rifle I was impressed enough to buy three more, one for each son, for coming Christmas. Two are handloaders so I threw a WTB ad here and have two sets of Redding dies coming from a helpful member. I found new brass online so 300 are on the way so all is good but I just lost the reality of ammo/component unavailability.
