“”””How did the Militia of 1775 deal with ammunition supplies - They made them. Today there is the same process. What’s next ban gunpowder, lead and so on and so forth.”””
There is a shop near my house that deals specifically in reloading supplies. They have everything for the serious reloader.
I was in there a few weeks ago. No dies for .223, 9mm or any other the other popular sizes. A big sign above the counter says WE DO NOT HAVE PRIMERS SO DO NOT ASK.
Without primers you have nothing.
“Without primers you have nothing.”
In 1775 guns were low tech enough someone could make the consumables without much trouble.
Today primers are impossible for most to make, and the remaining components (shells, jacketed bullets, powder) are almost as hard. “Reloading” is just final low-tech assembly of precision parts. Ergo the importance of having lots if finished ammo on hand.
One needs to buy in the good times and stock up Buy em cheap and stack em deep. I have close to 20,000 primers but also have a furnace with 45 acp and 9 mm molds so I am set for a few years if need be.
