How to prepare and survive component shortage cycles

[GeoDudeFlorida]

I don't need a long drawn out formula on how to stock up....I buy when things are available and cheap. I rarely pay retail and always look for a discount and a sale. When it's cheap, I load up.

I think LL was trying to provide advice to some of the newer people to the hobby. Those who don't have decades of experience or big $$ bank accounts or personal bunkers.

Case in point, it's been a long time since I lived in an apartment so I'm not even sure how apartment dwellers would stockpile safely. Something to think about.

Some items last forever. Do you have a good stockpile of lead and moulds to cast the bullets you need. To you pick up cases that you need and those in something you may be interested. That's half of what's required. Primers go first and stay gone the longest. They also store for a very long time. Powder is the least stable takes the most room and unless your picky comes back way before primers. I try and plan accordingly, and this go around got me because I wasn't casting yet.
