[Rembrandt]

I'm embarrassed to say this, but the election has certainly loosened up my reloading wallet. I'm at $2K and climbing......

[twoclones]

I started with no equipment or supplies at all and have spent over $1,500 since the election.

[showmebob]

$1400 including equipment and supplies.

[jmahalek]

Same boat...$1200

[Hungry Seagull]

We are not reloaders, but afraid to add up the stimulated firearms economy since election.

[elkhuntingfool]

about $500 - but spent probably 2k before.

[atlanticfire]

Just supplies about 1k, I know stop hording all the primers.. . .:neener:

[mhconfo]

$3000 including equipment and supplies.

[codybrown]

More than I wanted to, but not quite enough.

[jcwit]

Zero Have plenty

[33rowdy]

Gee...That question had to come up today...I spent $70 just today. About $300.

[MADDOG]

When "W" had two years to go I started looking for and finding discounted supplies. I am in very good shape. Although I did buy 500 LP primers last weekend.

[RustyFN]

Zero Have plenty
Same here. I did try to help stimulate the economy by buying a new Remington 870.:D

[RippinSVT]

probably around $600. I would have spent more, but poor college student ran out of money.

[Flash Hole]

Zero
There is nothing left in the stores.Its all gone.

[Eric F]

not a single penny, why would I? I already have plenty of primers brass bullets and powder. Well then again I just told my friend who is going to Germany for 3+ years I would give him $200 FOR HIS DILLION 550 IN 38 SUPER. So I guess its $200 but it has nothing to do with that socialist election that occured.:mad:

[Asherdan]

Me, I'm in the zero crowd.

I suspect those of us who have been reloading for a while aren't having as much of an urge to do the big stock up buying as new-ish guys. Me and my range buddies who reload have been group buying powder and primers and scavenging for bulk deals on bullets and brass for the past 3+ years, what with the run up in component costs. We have our back stock built up from a running start, so to speak.

[steve4102]

Componetnts about $3K
Eqiuipment(Dies) about $300
Handgun Ammo about $1K
Handguns $3K
AR-15 $2.5K
Shotguns $3K

[charleym3]

About $500. I'll probably get another 15K bullets over the next few months. I cannot have them all come home at once.

[748]

By march I will have spent over $500 since last fall.
I figured I would pick up a keg of my new favorite powder for pistol use, get bullet molds for every thing but 22cal, get some (couple thousand) primers and I might pick up a bullet sizer/lubber but they are over $200 with dies and not sure if I want to go that far.

[fourdollarbill]

1k or so for me...

[sniper5]

Oh, probably $600, but that is not a reflection of Obama's presidency as much as the fact that my formerly hoplophobic, anti-gun wife has now become addicted to shooting last December and is currently going through .38 and .357 mag like potato chips.

[Walkalong]

Spent quite a bit in the 2 years leading up to it. Really got started full force at the first sign of scrap copper going up. (Also sold some copper during that time ;))

[Chief-7700]

5k of Wolf small pistol primers
4#'s of Win 231
1k of bulletworks 9mm 125 gr FP lead
1 Springfield .45 ACP TRP Operator full rail
1500 rounds od .22's
Chief

[ironhat]

$18.33 on primers.

[Woodstock45678]

too much and not enough...

[X-Rap]

A lot, I have been reloading for 30 yrs and just ordered another 550 so I can now send in my old for rebuild and then have 1 for each primer size. The recent political and economical situation makes me feel the need to multiply what I thought were adequate quantities.
I don't know how much is enough yet, has anybody figured that out?
If everything works out peachy the I will not have to buy for a while so no loss.

[Flash!]

I spent $3000 on ammo and reloading stuff in the nine or ten months before the election..... and almost $1000 after the election.....

[CU74]

$949.80, including the $129.14 I spent today at Cabella's for primers. I'm still buying whenever I find something I want.

I started buying in earnest last March - I didn't like the overall political climate and was uneasy with what I was hearing during the Presidential Primaries.

[jjohnson]

Well - maybe $500 - and I'd be buying more but I got laid off a week ago. :fire:

I'd have bought more, but I already have stockpiled what would be a lifetime supply for most third world nations anyway.

Oh, by the way - I'm not hoarding primers.:scrutiny: I just happened to USE upwards of 10,000 of 'em in the last couple months. Really.

[Bush Pilot]

"A bunch" best describes my purchases. I used to go back and forth about what the current administration might attempt, I've concluded that they are not above trying anything. To those of you who don't think it will happen, I hope you're right, I'm not going to take any chances. The blood the anti-gunners is smelling is ours and they're frothing at the mouth, can you say PERMANENT AWB for openers?

[rbt50]

1,500.00 on powder and primers

[Devilfrog]

Probably close to $1k on powder / primers / bullets :banghead:

[rickomatic]

Componetnts about $3K
Eqiuipment(Dies) about $300
Handgun Ammo about $1K
Handguns $3K
AR-15 $2.5K
Shotguns $3K

Now THERE'S a stimulus package!! Maybe "The One" will get this economy going afterall..... :D

[22lr]

I started a 0 and since im ready to start rolling out 38 specials by next weekend (if my bullets and powder get in).

[glockman19]

I just bought Lee Deluxe Dies for:
.38/.357mag
9mm
.45 ACP
.44/.44mag
.380
.223
.308
.30-06
Also, Classic reloading kits in all calibers above.
One Lee Classic Cast Single Stage Press
One Lee Reloader Single Stage Press Kit
Powder measurer, digital scale, digital calipers, pocket cleaner/reamers.

Total around $650.

Now, All I need is Powder, Bullets and Primers.
whatever it costs for 1,000 bullets for every caliber, powder & 10,000 primers

[A-FIXER]

Close to 4k reloading equip/dies one for home one for the other location, and 1200 on bullets, 400 power 300 primers 600 brass...and still waiting on other dies to come in reloading in 10 different cal's.....started buying in july last year. I getting close to being done...

[LTR shooter]

1lb of VV N-133 and 1000 Rem 7 1/2 primers , right around $55. Should have bought some more primers at the time!

[RustyFN]

not a reflection of Obama's presidency as much as the fact that my formerly hoplophobic, anti-gun wife has now become addicted to shooting last December and is currently going through .38 and .357 mag like potato chips.
Man if you could tell me how you did that I would be forever grateful.
Rusty

[possum]

since the election i have done nothing out of the ordianry, i have ordered 10,000rds of 155gr lead (.40s&w) 6 lbs of powder and 5k primers.

[rogn]

Holy @#$%% the stores are empty, the online folk are without supplies of bullets, powder, primers, brass, and any other useful materiel. I have seen the lisyng for powders disappear while Im thinking about the click, and the price for more commonly used powder has jumped more than $20 for an 8 pounder in the past 2 weeks. Over the counter prices are even worse. This is poor socializm--isnt the supply supposed to address the need? An enquery at Wallys about the emptyshelves gets the resonse thatr people are coming in and purchasing 3-400 $ of ammo at a pop. Hope this mania abates because if not the prices may bust the roof and theyve started the climb already. Oh me, I always get afew100 $ every month or 2, no change there except theres nothing to buy at the moment.

[GTS Dean]

Probably around $250, and that's 4x what I normally spend. Not because I live in fear of the anti-gun nuts, but because I'm just shooting and reloading more than normal.

I can't begin to fathom spending $2-3k on reloading supplies in 4 months unless you shoot automatic weapons A LOT. All I can say is that I believe a bunch of you people are truly hoarding supplies.

[Apiarian]

Around $250 and it will be around $450 if my order from Pat's ever gets shipped.

[tango2echo]

About $2000 on supplies and another $1000 on equipment.

T2E

[atbarr]

7500 Montana Gold 124 hp bullets
1000 Zero 147 gr JHP bullets
15000 Win mag small pistol primers
8 lbs. Solo 1000 powder

I just need to get me a Dillion now.:)

A.T.

[X-Rap]

Yep UR right

[rondog]

Since the election, not much. But before the election's another story.
