Has the current market caused you to rethink how varied your ammo usage is?
No. A direct result on sitting on a mountain of both ammunition & reloading components ... as well as being retired so that I have time to both shoot & re-/hand-load ammunition whenever I feel like it.
Now that the current Panic is showing signs of attenuating, I receive, as I am sure we all do, increasing numbers of sale emails with their @SUBJs touting increasing supplies of ammunition available and at "better" prices. Most of these I just nuke those without even opening them. Yesterday I opened one before deleting it. I have zero interest in paying 62¢/rd for steel-case
TulAmmo 230gr FMJ .45acp ammo ... but I have no doubt that
some do.
EDIT: After rereading the OP I decided that I needed to add a bit more to stay true(r) to the initial thrust of this Thread.
I never did get on the Cartridge Consolidation bandwagon. Mine was more of a Coasting to a Stop bandwagon.
The last cartridge that I added to my reloading bench was the .300Blackout ... 2 years ago for the one AR Pistol that I have built/assembled.
I am currently setup to reload ~20 cartridges ... but recently I have only been loading for a few.
My approach to new cartridges has always been to, as soon as possible, stockpile a minimum-comfortable quantity of all components required for, say, 500 rounds. After I have that established, I am always on the lookout for excellent deals on components and add to my assorted stocks as the deals become available.
I will only buy factory ammunition when I come across something like one of the Rebate Deals that used to pop up periodically. I still have scattered wind drifts of factory ammo in various locations downstairs from such deals. Just yesterday I noticed 4 150rd boxes of the Federal Black Pack 230gr FMJ .45acp under the bench. Remember those Black Pack Rebate deals? Ahhhh ... those were nice. Cheap, good-quality, consistent blasting ammo.
