I only have a couple hundred 185gr swc's, but I have a box, maybe two, of 200gr swc's. Have never developed a load for them, the 185's are just about perfect for me.

What reloading components have you overbought?

So is 7000 berdan rifle primers considered over bought? 2 large green boxes of the original speer 200 gn ashtray? Several boxes of Nosler's 250 44 caliber partitions?
Was sharing the 500 yd rifle range with some shooters when the conversation revealed i was using reloaded berdan primed 308 surplus (with 168 Sierra bthp). One remarked how that much they must be a pain to reload. He was shooting black powder, and i had been one of the only ones using the range during multiple shortages/high prices. Gotta agree the components are worth much more individually than reloaded rounds.
Ya gotta ask yourself how much longer do you plan on shooting? And the older i get, the closer to a life time supply i have. Am betting there are some wishing they bought more 25-20 brass when it was available.

That’s a difference in lifestyle a lot of people on the forums miss. When the supplies disappeared I would still be well stocked with a brick of small pistol and a brick of large rifle. I don’t do any clubs or games, don’t load for a family the size of the population of Delaware, and don’t do mag dumps.
I like single action revolvers and mostly just plink or hunt.
But I truly do believe there’s fellers on here who would go cuckoo for coconuts if they couldn’t blow off a K of 5.56 per week or had to skip a club match because they ran out of some component.

Gave me a great idea!!!
By current planning, my wife would likely have my funeral at our church w/food afterwards in the gym. Then gravesite ceremony after that.
But, NRA HQ with my range, amazing museum, and cafe is in same general neighborhood. What a place for celebration of life!
Add a raffle & a table or two with firearms & reloading supplies for sale would help pay for the preacher. Better tell Pastor Steve to get his FFL.
Going out with a bang, eh?

Not things that wouldn't sell fairly easily but I have around 800 158gr XTP and 400 or so Hornady 300gr HP for .458" that are sitting around doing nothing.
It's not a mound by any means, but having gotten into casting and coating my own, I have no real desire to shoot jacketed anything. I'll probably sell them at some point, or just sit on them forever.
I guess you can call that an "overbought" since I collected them here and there, box by box when pricing was good and now they hang around untouched.

You can have enough, but never too much!
S&B small pistol primers. Five lbs of autocomp. And haven't casted for two years so a five gal. Bucket of stick on wheel weights . Rifle primer shortage is going to cause a lifestyle change but I'll never use up all the 24.99 boxes of spp's I bought in 2015. Back then I had a collection of glock 40 S&W to feed. You asked. TGIF

I have requested that my Friends and Family get together after I'm gone and shoot up all of my ammo and drink up all of my beer (not together of course) and talk about me or tell stories. I advised them to allow a week of vacation to do this!
No heirs here,,,
Kegs of Pistol Powder would be my 'overbought' entry.
Gander Mountain was G. O. O. B. and Kegs of Universal, Unique, and Clays were marked way down,,, used a coupon code and made off with 4.
Already had 2 kegs of other Pistol Powders at home
I load for recreational 9mm, 38/357, and 45ACP. Eventually the math sunk in and I realized it 'might take a while' to burn through 48 lbs of powder (About ~67,000~ rounds)
Sold a couple kegs. Tried to sell a 3rd,,,
Still working on the 2 original kegs,,,
