For LRP and MLRP, I probably had a lifetime supply. But I recently bought another 1,000 of each.
For shotgun I had 4,000+. For my hunting that was a lifetime supply. I’ve bought 7,000 Cheddite primers since I ahoot skeet regularly.
Early (March) 2020 I saw another Clinton/Obama shortage coming.
13 weeks in a row I made the 80 mile drive to a town that has 3 “big box stores.” I bought primers every time. A couple of time my wife went with me so a 1 brick limit was actually 2 bricks. A couple of time we changed masks and went back for another load.
I bought projectiles online.
Once I was in a Scheels and they had 7 Dillion 550Cs on the shelf.
I talked to the salesman. He told me the week before they had 11 750s on the shelf midday on Friday, they were all gone by Saturday afternoon!
I became the proud owner of a Dillion 550C. It sat in the trunk of my car for 3/4 months! I was scared of it!!! But now it gives me a smile everytime I think of it!
Eventually I set it up! I now have 6 shell plates and 3 powder drops. Gonna get another 3 powder drops soon.
Even if 9mm, or .223 prices come down to pre-pandemic levels, I’m shooting ammo I made, except for CCW ammo.
