After years of shortages, swapping, paying too much for bullets, brass, etc, do you have a supply on hand? I have a good supply for the cartridges I load. I was caught short on some things, but have managed to acquire what I need. Several kind folks on here have helped me out. I thank them, good guys on here!!!

After the first Obama gun grab scare and the shelves all emptied out, I started stocking up when the scare was over and no one cared what you bought or what quantity you bought. My real concern was the bullet shortage. I have been casting bullets up to that time for muzzleloading round balls and 44 and 357 handguns for many years. I started buying bullet moulds for ever caliber I own. I'm not going to get fooled again.

I am well supplied. Probably for all of the time I have left and maybe another generation. But at the rate young people are shooting, several lifetimes.

I started buying when Trump came into office. Ive got thousands upon thousands of primers, many many hundreds of bullets and pounds and pounds of the powders I need. As one noted, Ive got all that I'll probably ever need.

I am good, like others have mentioned, I planned ahead. Some of my younger friends have been happy to receive some help at times.

I'm doing pretty good, myself.. Good enough that I can keep going out and shooting when I want. Actually bought an 8 pound keg of rifle powder for $200, and quite a few bullets last weekend, and the weekend before that too.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I have enough to last me for the rest of my life. Dittoo,,, a few large rifle primers would be an extra added attraction though!!
I tend to use more than enough gun

I would still like to get some brass for a few cartridges, but I’m mostly fine. Some powders I’d like to try I can’t find, but I can shoot regularly with what I do have.

I have enough to go for a long while but still look for things because you never know.
I have a good supply of some types of primers but back when i did not think that i would need a bunch of small pistol primers and i thought i had enough small rifle primers.
Got a few powders to find but am in no hurry for now.
Seems that there are more match primers out there these days,large,small rifle or pistol.

Just need Fed 215's. Oh wait, I put in an order today...
It's you and the bullet, and all the rest is secondary.
