To Hoard or Not to Hoard-That is the QUESTION???

[1varmint]

I consider it an ira … example, I bought Sierra blitz for $18 a hundred and I bought more than I…
Today they are $28 or more.
Check out the prices on nosler projectiles… if I had not stocked up I would be looking for a different hobby.
Okay not a different hobby but

Coyote Shadow Tracker, I've never viewed stocking-up on components, or anything thing else that may be needed for hard times, as hoarding!

But then, I've always had a different thought process than most! My wife still has difficulty believing that retirement was on my mind when I graduated high school! memtb

Never drive by a garage sale trust me on this one…m44US training rifle $100… her husband had recently passed.
Cmp still in the box with paperwork, I gave her 2 bills.
She said stay here a minute, goes in the house and brings out an 03 with mounts

Where do you live and can you do the same at our home?
My spinal cord injury prevents me.
We can trade Goat milk/butter, some bullets and powders.

We can also throw in a hog & Coyote Hunt. If you don't get any, we can still send you home with some Yote meat from previous hunts.

I have been reloading for about 55 years now. I turn 68 years young today!

To Hoard or Not to Hoard-That is the QUESTION???

This has been a big topic for the past YEARS since the 1990s when Progressive Liberals were elected to power. Ever since Clinton and other Liberal Anti Gun politicians got elected, we (Hunters/Shooters) have been on a Yo Yo trying to get reloading components. It effects the public's perception on "Gun Control" and whether to "PURCHASE FIREARMS", "HIDE HOARD" ammo, reloading components, and firearms.

Another consideration is that when there is a Military Conflict in the world the USA gets involved along with Gobal supplies of Lead/Brass/Chemicals to manufacture Powders along with metals and electronic become in short supply. Then prices $$$ go up for reloading components and Ammo along with the supply going down.
There have been more CONS about people "HOARDING AMMO RELOADING COMPONENTS" than the PRO side.

If you have been hunting/shooting/reloading since the 90s you know what has been going on. I do not fault anyone for HOARDING because you don't know when something you need to shoot/hunt/target - your favorite hobby may not be available.

We have collected enough reloading components so that we can comfortably shoot for many years and also help out other shooters.
This time that we live in has to be the most troubling. World Events-Wars, Political Parties - Anti Firearm Laws and trying and succeeding to even take away shipping firearms within this past year?
There are "32" WAR Conflicts going on our world today. That means a lot of bullet components - Lead, Brass, Primers, Powder, Metals. These are all in finite supply.
So as the supply gets less the price goes up. Just think about where you reloading components and Ammo is being made or controlled these days. A lot is made in other Countries. Now USA Firearm Manufactures making (Firearms, Reloading Components) are being bought and controlled by Overseas Countries.

We were recently going to start selling some of our Bullet & Brass inventory off. Now we are probably going to purchase any deals we come across.
So you might start thinking about stocking up on the reloading components or ammo that you use.
No more called a "HOARDER" now called a SMART HUNTER/RELOADER/SHOOTER.

@Coyote Shadow Tracker
Unless I missed it, no one on this thread has defined a 'hoarder'. Are we talking about having a month's supply of ammo or reloading components? Or a year? Three years? More?
I hear from a friend who works at a LGS that new gun buyers are buying 500 to 1000 rounds with their new firearms....is this hoarding?
IDN....just asking.

Happy Birthday Len! It's only hoarding if you don't have room for more....

Yes sir!
We are defiantly defined as HOARDERS!
If you look in the Webster Dictionary it will have our picture and our names under HOARDERS!
It is defined of having Primers. Powder, Brass, Bullets for at least 25 different cartridges.
Looking at 10+ years supply.

Happy birthday Len! I enjoy your posts. I hope to be doing the same when I catch up!

Happy b'day to you as I am 10 years younger on 10/22. I still have supplies from the 90's.

Because I feel bad about hoarding, I've been consolidating my stock.
Dispersing what could be considered excessive to fellow reloaders that I work with.
With this, they don't have to buy so much, and I figure what they have, I have (for what I might need), when SHTF.

Whether this is a right choice will come down to how much S hits the F
