You were going to burn it up one way or the other, and that's what you do with every shot you take, so, may as well do it right.

Most of my money lately has been on guns, rings, sights and scopes. Think this year I've spent maybe 175.00 on reloading gear, a die and a hand primer, some decap pins, and I forgot to look for a new small primer brush today. As to powder and bullets and primers---about 6-700 or so. But, that is around 1000 bullets, about 6-8 lbs of powder, and 1000 primers. Haven't bought any brass this year, haven't bought any in likely 3 yrs or more now. I have 120 Bees primed to load, 100 in reserve, 100 .223Rem primed to load, 200 in reserve, 100 7-08, 50 or so loaded, 100 reserve, have 30 30R ready to go, 100 brass primed and ready to load, about 280 in reserve , 25 7Rem mag ready to go, plus 100 brass primed and ready to load, and haven't touched the 300H&H yet, but have 65pcs of brass to do for it, and 200 or so in reserve. and at least 50 loaded rounds for each gun, couple of them have 200 or so ready to shoot.

And I have a choice of 8 or so bullets and weights for each cartridge, 30-55gr in .224, 100-168 gr in 7mm and 165-220gr in .308, and then there are cast bullets for the .22 and 7mm.

And at least 4 powders that will work in one or more of those cartridges.

Still have some shotshells I loaded 20+ yrs ago, too, and some hulls, wads, powder and primers and shot for them.

and 500lbs or so of lead and tin and wheelweights and some blends.

Not sure where I may have saved any money, but, that is also 35+ yrs worth of accumulation, and I didn't go short on anything thru the last big component shortage, and got to shoot some different and some out of the ordinary guns, and meet some cool people. And I won't run short til I die as far as I know.

I may be poor, but, I'll have had my share of fun.
