I have reloaded for over 35 years and I still buy factory ammunition. I have also reloaded ammunition that cost me more than if I were to just buy decent factory ammunition because it gave me a competitive advantage over others not willing to go the extra step.
Non reloaders scoff, laugh or just shake their heads at a guy that will reload 9mm or .223, at least until they can’t find any, except at some auction site with prices only a desperate fool would pay.
Then they decide they need to start and that’s how we got all of the “where’s the primers/powder” threads.
If your not going to reload you need to stock at least one term, two would be better, worth of ammunition. If you are you need enough components to get you through. If you have both, you don’t start those kinds of threads or get taken to the cleaners buying stuff when it’s at historically high prices.
