My goal is to find cheap plentiful primers. That’s it.
What are your reloading goals for 2022?

Anyone around me needs to learn casting or reloading, shoot me a message.

This is a great plan! I believe I will go with this!
And keep my blammo ammo stocked up, and get some consistent sub moa loads on my .243 and 7mm Rem Mag, the only rifles that have been "picky" for me.

I plan on teaching jr the ropes. He is a decent trigger jerk, but needs a full introduction to the dark arts of being a lever jerk. Carrying his own load in the reloading room in preparation for the range has to develop some sense of time investment. It might not be the best plan but I'm going to work it.

Re-organize loading bench, work up some better loads for 6mm rem using 95g SST, been loading up partial boxes of bullets left over from other projects (those small quantities that weren't used because I wouldn't have been able to complete full boxes), and try to get better at shotshell reloading.

I understand!
As a Lineman I was on call every other week and it sure cuts into your shooting, hunting, reloading, ect. Well, it cuts into everything! I would run between 600 to 1000 hours overtime a year. It made for a decent retirement but dang..................

I need to find some shotshell components and figure out this pacific dl-105 I got. Looks like a quality machine.

Find primers and powder. Got caught short as I greatly underestimated the time frames for this "crisis".

Find the best method for reloading 9mm mixed brass that will all pass a plunk gage and have no chance of bullet set back.

My goal is to finish my shed in to a reloading shop. . Had a 100amp service installed and wired. I have a Ac unit permanently installed, electrician need to come back and install a 220 volt electric wall heater unit.
Next step insulation, then OSB on the interior walls.
Build 31 foot of wrap around reloading bench.
Install a small wood stove.
I have been buying lots of reloading equipment the past two years.
I have a dillion 650, a Hornaday AP Progressive Press, two single-stage Hornaday Lock n Load presses for out in the shed, I have two in my walk in closet in the house that will stay in the housr., a Redding T-7 press. Two RCBS RockChucker presses, a Lee turret press, a cheap lee single-stage press, and an old Lyman c press.
Might add some more.
I plan on doing reloading classes once I get every thing set up.
I also have been buying and accumulating stuff to do bullet casting. I do have a couple hundred pounds of lead and will be picking some more up this week.
I have a five quart cast iron pot to melt scrap lead into ingots.
An electric melting pot for casting.
A bunch of bullet molds.
I have several trimmers, a bunch of powder measures. Lots of primers, powder and bullets stocked up. When our rain season stops I'll get going at it again.
I hate western Washington. From fall to spring if it isn't raining it will be shortly.

I'll be keeping my goals small. Like many others here, I am awaiting the return of components. I have been having a little luck finding bullets, buy no luck finding primers that don't cost a hundred bucks a brick. I highly doubt the current shortage and high prices will iron themselves out under the current administration.
Yeah, me too. I could say win the lottery, but the odds are about the same.

I got started. Yesterday I got the board I needed on my bench installed and got my press, well one press, mounted on a board for a quick change mount. Whohoo. Loaded some 38 specials tonight.

Sometimes I like to listen to old radio shows while loading. This one is perfect for the .38’s.
Ya know, sometimes it just isn't in a rifle to go sub MOA. It's not the ammo, it's the gun. I have a 243 that's old and a bit worn and doesn't like anything thing that can't be seated out to the rifling.
Hey! Another old time radio fan? Lol the old dragnet ones are good as well. Match the rhythm of a single stage.
