You need to reload
The title is a standard comment these days for when someone posts about the difficulty in finding (insert caliber here)...
Altho I reload, I understand not everyone wants to reload their own ammo, nor do they need to. Their needs are fulfilled by factory ammo and either they can afford to shoot factory all the time or shoot so little ammo that reloading is impractical. Seems to some, reloading is a sign that one has advanced to a whole another level of manliness and that non-reloaders are Girly Gun Men.
Over the last few years, finding components has been as difficult as finding factory ammo(the exception being .22LR which no one reloads anyway) so the point of reloading to avoid running out is a moot point. I think the difference is that reloaders tend to buy in bulk so their supplies last longer than the average Joe that buys a box of ammo when he needs it. Lately I have seen just as many hoarding factory ammo as I have seen hoarding components. So again, it's a moot point.
IOWs others should refrain from telling others to reload so us that already reload, have more supplies on the shelf......:banghead:
