With the shortages now most reloaders are scrambling around trying to up their stashes of primers but don't forget to stock up on your favorite powder and bullets also......some are already hard to locate.
I was going to the range twice a week and running 100 rounds 230 gr FMJRN each trip through my 1911's......200 rounds per week comes out to 800 rounds per month in the spring, summer and fall (I don't go to the outdoor range and hammer the gongs when it's bone chilling cold) and that's a lot of bullets and powder being burnt.
I've got a fair stash of primers, powder and 230 gr. 45 ACP bullets on hand but to be conservative I'm going to start cutting my rounds fired during my two weekly trips back to 50 or 400 per month while still continuing to look for and order my powder, bullets and large pistol primers when I can find them.
I could be wrong but I don't expect to see reloading supplies or factory ammo availability to get any better in the near future.
