"How much reloading supply's do you keep on hand "

Dunno. Never occured to me to think of it that way. It varys but not nearly as much as you.

Why do you ask?

None of your dern business!;)

It's better to NOT let anybody know how much or many of "DANGEROUS" items we have in out homes.

A local news report of somebody arrested on an unrelated charge, described an "arsenal" of 100's of pounds of "BLACK POWDER", detonators, and exploding bullets in the house. That guy was just like most of us with a reloading room.

Lets just say I have enough to see me through some tough times I think are coming.

Good point. There are some crazy people out there that don't know there right hand from there left

My laundry room has worse stuff in it then my reloading room
 
Stuff I have to order, usually quite a bit. Things like Lapua D-166, Federal primers, .330 bullets, Berry's plated, etc. I usually don't like to wait for them to arrive.

Stuff I can find locally, not so much.
 
Not enough, but I've started relatively recently.

~4 pounds of mixed powder. I load 9mm and .223. 2 pounds of powder for 9mm lasts a long time as I'm dropping about 4.4 gr per cartridge. .223, not as much. I need more powder.

Brass: I have probably 1500 9mm cases. Multi-firings, once-fired, and new Starline brass. For .223, ~700 cases. Mostly new unfired LC brass. 200 of which is reloaded.

Bullets: 650ish 9mm. ~150 matchkings, ~300 55gr FMJ.

Loaded ammo on hand,
AR .223: ~170 rounds
Bolt gun .223: 0 rounds
9mm: 440 rounds

I made the 9mm this weekend. But I have probably 400 more primed and expanded cases to load. So I'll probably finish those up. Then I'd like to start on .223 again.
 
Pictures for this thread are good. I have some 25,000 primers and lots more brass that can't be seen in this picture. Everyone knows I sell bullets so I think I probably have enough. Probably somewhere around a quarter million or so but those are all supposed to be sold. I would only use them in emergency situations.

"Why do I ask? ... To see if I need to get more stuff LOL "

Ah. Okay. But I can tell you that without saying how much I have, I don't matter at all.

YOU need three times more than you now have. But all of it needs to be in different brands, duplications don't count towards the totals.

I have visited a guy with many hundred pound canisters of powder that he got from Western Powder. He stores the 100 pound canisters in semi trailers.

Those containers in the lower right of the picture are each 100 pounds.

Chrisgo if you are serious I hope you run a business with that much crap. I live in IL and I dont want to be that close to the explosion if your house ever burns down.
 
With all the crap I have, I couldn't resist buying up 2,000 more 223 55gr bullets and 500 8x57 cases yesterday when I found a deal on them.

Hi, my name is Trent, and I have a reloading component stockpiling addiction....
 
I have enough componets for a good while. I don't have that much loaded ammo. I reload because I like to shoot so when I get em loaded I shoot em.I don't really get the point of having more than you will ever use.I know there is people who shoot alot and need alot. Just as I am sure there are people who have a hundred pounds of powder,tens of thousands primers and thousands of bullet that shoot a box a month
 
Omigosh! Some of you guys are certainly loaded.
I don't keep near that much stuff on hand. I probably don't shoot as much as many of you either.

I have about 5000 primers. Ten pounds of powder. 2500 bullets and two buckets of lead wheel weights. I don't know how much brass. I have maybe 2000 rounds of loaded ammo, not counting 22LR.

This is more stock than I have ever had before. For years, I would buy a pound of powder and 100 bullets and 100 primers as needed. I thought I was stocked up pretty good till I see what some of you have. :)

When it looked like Obama was going to get elected, I put in a few more supplies than needed right away, and I am glad I did.

Guilty. :)

I don't get out to shoot nearly enough. I've stocked up because I know when I retire, and have more time to shoot, the prices will be MUCH higher than they are now, if the stuff is available at all.... Call it a 20 year plan.
