ESPECIALLY what you can't sell easily.
In a previous "ammo panic" I saw
.25 acp go away. As in ammo search engines coming back with "nothing found" or perhaps a couple sources wanting $1 a shot.
I predicted that because there almost no .25 acp gun being produced, and it hasn't been popular for a long time, this was it for the cartridge. Maybe it wouldn't become the .41 Rimfire, but certainly a .32 S&W (Short). Can you imagine all the demand for 9x19 and some foolish company cranking out .25 acp?!
So I bought lots of loaded .25 ammo and lots of FMJ bullets.
Because I like .25 acp. It was the first auto pistol cartridge I reloaded. (That wasn't a great idea) Ihadn't reloaded it in a while and today I was cleaning about 200 cases and checked my FMJ bullet supply.
I saw the box I knew I had of under 900 bullets. Then I found another box of 1K. Oh boy. I'm not sure I want spend that amount of time reloading these little guys!
But at least they don't take up much space!
And I was wrong! The ammo makers DID crank out and stock .25 again! How many of these guns are still out there? And fired! And fired enough that there is plenty of .25 acp for purchase? And yet everyone knows it's useless and would never own or carry one....well someone's lying!
What reloading components have you over bought that likely nobody else wants?
