After reading so many posts here and elsewhere about ammo shortages , it still amazes me that more people do not start reloading. I am a small time reloader that started around 6 years ago, and do around a dozen calibers as I need them. My supplies are usually 3-5 thousand primer of each type I use, brass I've accumulated and of course bullet and powder as needed.
I cannot remember the last time I actually bought commercial ammo out of necessity, as I usually roll my own and just put it away. Some for range time/hunting and other I just keep for preparedness. I am doing this with a LEE single stage press too, just relaxing time for me sit at my table and roll ammo.
My latest project is .308 Ball for my FAL rifle, I have 700 primered cases I found online before the "scare". Then on to ammo for the AR or some of the other rifles and pistols I own. What I'm trying to say to some of these people who are wringing their hands over lack of ammo, it doesn't take that much to get started at reloading and keep yourself supplied with ammo.
