I've been reloading .45 Colt and am using the brass left over from before I reloaded. I have about 250 cases. A typical day at the range will be 50-70 rounds shot. Once home, I wet tumble, dry, then reload the used cases. I almost never have any cases that aren't reloaded.
This has been working for me but I sometimes wonder if there is any benefit to buying more brass, making more rounds, and storing them. The upside is if there is ever a run on supplies, I have an ample amount of reloaded ammo on hand. The downside is I'm spending money to inventory ammo I won't be using right away.
I know there isn't a right or wrong answer here. I am just curious about the reasons why some people buy more brass only to inventory the ammo they make.
