I reloaded so much back in 2011 when you could still buy bricks of primers and jugs of powder at sane prices.

Still have some “Rammo” left in both 9 and .45. Perhaps .38Sp or 357 is next.

I went with Hornady and got the auto feeders for brass and lead parts.

I started reloading at about 14 with a Lee Loader for my 30-30. Been reloading ever since.

In the 70's when I was stationed in Pensacola, I would cast my own bullets and reload for my 38 Chief's Special. Cost was cheaper than 22 shells. Even at 70's prices. I shot well over 5,000 rounds thru that little gun.

I used to load my 45LC Ruger Blackhawk so hot that the case head writing was being obliterated.

I've backed way back, but I still have some of those loads.

I was given a 95 Mauser which I rebarreled with a 7mm Madsen machine gun barrel. I chambered it to 7Mauser. I was able eventually, with reloads, to shoot one hole groups with it @ 100 yds. I'm reloading for a Rem 700 that I rebarreled to 6x47Lapua now. My groups aren't that tight. Yet(I hope).

I only buy ammunition for the rifles as a last resort. I still buy handgun ammo. In the ammo scare, I went crazy buying reloading supplies. Cases, primers, Powder, and lead.
