Let’s use the number of pieces of cartridge brass you have on hand, loaded or not.
100-999 = 1
1,000-2,000=2
2,001-3,000=3
3,001-4,000=4
4,001-5,000=5
5,001-10,000=7
10,001-20,000=You Win
Tie breaker is the brass count •/• number of cartridges you load.

My L.I. is 5 by the way. Just a hair short of lucky #7.

I'm one of those guys who causes rapid oxidation with my sweaty fingers. So I wear nitrile gloves when handling brass and loading.

Dan,
Sure, I'll play....
Haven't counted in a while, but have bags of some kinds of brass that according to their weight (I did not count them!) have anywhere from 1000 to 3000 cases. I also have a medium-sized cardboard box for even the more obscure brass I load, which I usually buy in good numbers. Each of those 50+ boxes has at least 100 pieces, and some have more than 1000. That's not even counting the number of case in loaded ammo, and I know some of those exceed 1000.
Am not about to even estimate the number!

I make "You win" at least twice in just empty 40 S&W brass. Another "Win" each for 45 ACP and 9mm. 308, 30/06, 8x57, 30 Rem, 35 Rem, 30/30, 303 Brit, 250 Savage and 300 Savage combined would get me another "Win" I believe. Add everything else to what I have in 223/5.56 would get me another. Shotshells would add a couple more "Wins".
I have 67 different metallic dies on hand of which I load 65 metallic cartridges to varying degrees. I load a lot of cartridges but I am not an accomplished reloader by any stretch of the imagination. A good portion of my reloading is for obsolete rounds and I am happy to just get something that fires and is reasonably accurate.
If including shotshells I have a loader for everything from 10 ga 3.5" down to 2.5" 410 bore except for 3.5" 12 ga. I have to exclude 24 and 32 ga as I sold the guns and presses when I ran out of hulls.

I had similar thoughts Steve. Scary. OK, change LI 7 to 100,000 cases.

What Yamamoto didn’t say about Americans “with guns behind every blade of grass“ was a lot of them wouldn’t ever run out of ammo either. 🙂

Don't even want to talk about shotgun schidt, whether factory ammo, loaded rounds or components.

Speaking of, Midway is offering Nammo 7.62x51 100 cases for 31 bucks. I've never tried Nammo before. I'll slowly get closer to that 100K....

OK, while admitting I didn't want to talk about "shotgun schidt," here's a far-gone example. Recently Eileen bought yet another shotgun she could not live without, a 16-gauge Ithaca Model 37 made in 1940, with a Poly-Choke. (She loves dial-a-ducks, even though she has three British side-by-sides.)
But due to her recoil headaches, I had to create a 28-gauge equivalent handload. Turned out I had all the necessary stuff on hand., which with shotshell handloading can be interesting.
If any body needs a 28-gauge load for the 16, I can provide the details. But I doubt most will have them.
