I tried the same theory sadly I shoot enough LRP annually to always seem like a reasonable amount would be to keep 10k on hand and that’s proven to not be enough. Have switched to srp brass for a couple of calibers. Since they seem easier to source at the moment. When we recently moved I found a few k large that I paid 40 bucks for. I’m sure I complained about the cost when I bought them. 75-120 seems like the new normal for large rifles when you can find them. I still buy them and still continue to shoot.Thats still $79.99 per thousand. I made sure after the big shortage in 2004 - 2012 and prices got down to $20 a thousand to get enough to last a while.
