    I just saw that someone paid like $0.51/rd for 1000 M193, shipped, but it came with a free ammo can...
    I'm STILL reloading M193 for like $0.1733/rd.
    That is like $341.70 savings every 1000 rounds.:D

    Glad I have a bit of a buffer, but starting to get lower on primers... :(

    I have some diesel I bought and stored back when it was $1.29. But it is only 3 fill ups and then done with bragging rights. Kind of the same with reloading components unless you have a vast endless supply at the old prices. You can save right up until you run out of materials. Then it may cost you $3 around. ;)

    I'll be dead by then. That's the point.

    In the last 2 panics I still haven't run out of anything.

    However, I did trade some primers for powder, at pre-panic trade values for each,
    and since I needed powder, It was worth it, at the time, as powder was hard to get back then... :(

    Gunz are icky.
    Saw some ammo at Academy today I haven’t seen in years.
    Winchester
    silver box .32auto silvertip HP’s.
    It’s probably five or six years since I’ve seen that on the shelf.
    They had everything except .357mag. Which of course is what I was huntin’ for. Dang it.

    Saw a selection of .357 mag at Sportsman Den two weeks ago if you have one. Too proud of it for me.

    Stopped by the Humble Academy this morning. Had just about everything available, if you wanted to pay!
