I have a very large stock pile of components, but minimal stock pile of reloaded cartridges for reason above plus:I only load up a few hundred at a time, as I need them. The only reason I don't like to keep thousands of loaded rounds on hand is because of so many stories of "my reloading neighbor passed away and he had thousands of loaded rounds, what do I do with them" and the general consensus is (rightfully so) that components are easier to deal with than loaded rounds.
1) I’ve seen and had ammo go bad with time.
2) I enjoy developing new loads
3) The individual components are easy to sell Or trade off if I find a different cartridge recipe I like better.
4) Its easier to show a newbee how to reload than tell him!
And so on, but to each his own!
