In retirement some people plan on lots of golf, fishing, etc. I planned on lots of shooting figured (hoped) for a good ten years. I'm 40% there and doing fine, knock on wood, If my health holds out, I'll replenish some of what I've shot so for to extend my shooting plans past the ten year mark.Be careful not to over do it. You just may not end up being able to shoot as much as you plan.
If you over do it, you should see your investment pay off should the bad times return and at least break about even reselling in good times. Mine has certainly paid off based on what I paid for components vs. what they are selling for right now.
OTOH for 9mm I'm seeing $150/1000 rounds making reloading 9mm marginal at todays component prices. This is the situation where I stockpiled my supplies, shot the cheap ammo and bought components to set aside for the future, which was nice as when I was working I didn't have a lot of spare time to do reloading. Seeing how fast my days fly by now that I've been retired, I wonder how I ever managed to get anything done while I was working
