A friend has been selling off her husband's estate after his passing. One of the issues she's run into is that she was left with thousands upon thousands of rounds of reloaded ammo in various calibers. She can't sell it, no one wants it for the components unless she gives it to them, or almost does, etc. The dump won't take it, she's literally stuck with tons of ammo and what is probably several thousand dollars of loaded components. However, she was able to sell the unloaded components that he had pretty easily.
This got me to thinking that I probably should keep components on hand more so than reloaded ammo. Finding that balance that I have enough on hand to last for a few shooting trips, but not too much that I'd end up in that situation has been a bit tricky. Do you all believe it's better to leave most of your components unloaded, and just load enough to have some on hand? Or do you go all out and load everything up? I just don't want to end up in that situation, should I need to sell the components, or should something happen to me.
