Impressive. I have been stocking up on guns and magazines before the panic buying starts, if it does. Then when everyone is panic buying that, I can spend my meager salary on reloading stuff. Hopefully it doesn't come to any of that.

That AR guy is a bad influence.

I have just started to learn about reloading. How many cartrages will all that make once you get bullets?

9300+ rounds using 24g of powder each round, I already have other powders to use up the other 700 primers

I just got 16lbs of H335, 4000 Hornady 55gr FMJ-BT bullets, and 5000 Wolf SRM primers. I don't shoot a lot so that will last me quite a while.

I just picked up another 250lbs of reclaimed shot and got 6K of those Federal 55 gr FMJ's on EE this month but decided not to brag about it

There are 7000 grains per pound. So if a cartridge took 25gr of powder (example for 55gr bullet, H335 in .223) then you would get 2,800 rounds per pound, or 22,400 per 8 lb keg.

Pardon my post, but I believe you are off by a zero.

I have 16 pounds of unique for handgun rounds.

that's 1000 rounds per pound of handgun loads... or 16000 rounds.

Clearly, I need more primers.
