My neighbor said yea I do a little reloading.

He seems loyal to RCBS and Lee Dies. Looks like he has more dies than than bullets. He's probably like me and has those stashed somewhere else. I don't have the space to keep it all in one area without tripping over it. I keep my powder in the back shop room, a few feet away from my reloading room. While I only keep my bullets and dies on the bench. I keep all my brass and loaded ammo stored on shelves above and around my gun safe room.
Compared to Jerry Miculek we're all reloading rookies. Have you seen the YouTube video of him washing 5.56 brass in a concrete mixer? As I recall it took a few loads to get it all washed. He probably loads more ammo than Remington😄

I pretty much use Lee anymore, does what I need without breaking the bank.
 
Looks a lot like my reloading room only not as organized. My stuff fills three 30" wall cabinets, a 36" hutch, a 6' x 12" shelf a 36"x5' high cabinet filled with loaded ammo of different cartridges and the entire underside of my loading bench with powders primers and 50 cal ammo boxes filled with various loaded ammo stacked 3 and 4 high. I could shoot 300-400 rounds a weekend and never use it up

I hear you on the loaded ammo. The numbers of stacked 30, 50 cal and tall 20mm cans I have is rather staggering, then there are all the Gorilla racks filled, the floor under my 36" high work bench stacked to full with boxes, cases, crates, etc.

Winter time after hunting seasons is my major loading and stacking time.
 
His definition of a little reloading.
Really nice! I am ashamed to post what we have. Glad to see that he /she has a good stock of components. It comes down to how much can you actually SHOOT!!!
we CAN'T! Just bought a bunch of Brass that we don't shoot, but will work for a future Hunting Rig for someone!
We have much more than we need but we are Builders so have to have stock for customers.
I need to get off of Classifieds and buying. When a deal comes by can't resist, but may not use for many years if any and like to have for future builds for someone else.
Your friend has a GOOD STOCK for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great for them! and we are Happy for them. Costs of what he has will always increase!!!!

While not nearly as much now as I once did, there were many years I fired 8-10,000+ "rifle" rounds during a year of competition shooting and training/practice. When I was shooting a lot of Nat'l Match and Palma. I burned a LOT of ammo to remain competitive at my level and during the 2-3 matches per month.

Then, there are the numerous thousands of rounds fired during the prairie dog seasons, and the numerous pistol rounds fired for IHMSA and the occasional IPSC match. Even now, it is not uncommon for me to go to the range and burn 100 rifle rounds on a given day or two.

When I was much younger and practicing and competing in 22 small bore matches, I would burn 18-20 bricks, 9-10,000 rounds, during a 6-8 month season.

Those were the days.............
