Rising costs!!!!

I guess, I am one of the more fortunate ones, when it comes to reloading components. I was a prairie dog shooter for several years; my brother-in-law and I shot 10 days every year. We would go out in early late spring for a five-day shoot and late summer we would go on another five- day outing.  During these years when-ever I would acquire a little extra pocket money, I would spend it, on reloading components. I always managed to keep a cushion of components and not get caught short when it was reloading time.

Going from an active varmint hunter to no varmint hunting left me with lots of components on hand. My house has central heat and air and I store all of my components in the house and not in the shop, which means they keep very well. Also, when I have seen certain government changes coming over the years, I would try to get ready for the worse. That is why I bought my first rifle bullet molds, during a certain government regime, I bought bullet molds for every rifle that I owned. I didn't use them for years, until I got the cast bullet fever.

I had a contractor install a new heat and air system about one and a half years ago, and evidently his helper was a thief, I'm sure he is the one who stole 5,000 large Winchester primers and about $250.00 in rolled coins. I had just inventoried my primers a few days before their work began, and I knew exactly how many primers that I had. I still have enough components to last me the rest of my lifetime unless I set a record for the oldest living man. I also hope to be able to leave some to my two sons.
