Prepare for what and alleviate what burden?

Prepare for what and alleviate what burden?

I thought it was clear, but if you do not know what to prepare for, do not worry.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

Which part is not clear to you?

A nod to White River Energetics. I loaded for 4 rifles with the LR version with great results. they lit Superform, TAC, RL26 and H4350 (just the 4 powders I tried) very well producing very consistent, low SDs. These were proven loads with WRE replacing F210M and WLR primers. There was not a great deal of difference with the switch. Through a little better than half the first brick and found they are worth picking up another 5K. For $80 per K it's hard not to - Sadly it would appear I have been conditioned to be HAPPY with 8 cent primers.

Thanks for the performance report with WRE primers. I use these powders also. I have been keeping an eye on WRE for a year now.
I want to believe we will see a stabilization in pricing and inventory, going forward. Living through the inventory limitations in 2007 and 2008, when the inventory levels stabilized I bought components on a regular basis, a bit at a time when it was available. I intend to do that again when the market stabilizes. I do not believe we will see prices drop to what they were 2-3 years ago unfortunately. The market has done to the reloading world what OPEC did to gas in the 70's, seemingly.
I was fortunate, lately, to get the opportunity to buy out a friends inventory, in a move downsizing. Many bricks of CCI, Winchester LR primers, CCI magnum small rifle primers, Large and small pistol primers, many pounds of rifle, pistol powders. For more than he paid for them, but way less than what they are currently going for now. He has thousands of sized, decapped and cleaned range pistol brass, 223 brass and many powders still left.
