Are you actually out of reloading components or ammo?

[36Power]

Defcon 5 and 6 do not really exist...these are just figments of a reloaders imagination.

[charlie b]

I never really have enough. I don't usually stockpile a ton of loaded ammo, just components. If 500 rounds ready to go won't solve the problem, nothing will. The stuff I shoot weekly, I load weekly.

I would like to have more powder, lead and primers

[Hick]

4.5 and holding. I can never make up my mind about what to shoot any given week, so I never make up ammo in advance (except of course for a little home defense ammo). But-- I have close to a lifetime supply of the fixin's

[lightman]

I would be at 6 if it were not for that durned leaky boat!

[44Blam]

I WAS all stocked up on everything... But then I bought a new toy that needs the kind of primers I wasn't really interested in before...

But I think I have enough ammo to keep a small contengent of looters out of my house and ALSO to go to the shootin' matches whenever they start up again.

[sigep1764]

With risk of sounding like a braggart, I have 5k of spp primers, 2k of lp primers, 2k of lr primers, 8k of 9mm loaded, 3k of 223 loaded, 1k of 270 reloaded, 300 of 30-30 reloaded, and 300 of 380 loaded. I have 16lbs of pistol powder and 10lbs of rifle powder plus 4lbs of various useful powder. I am now casting for the next few years of shooting since I am not allowed to go to the shooting range. I am limited to my once a month trip the the lake where I shoot around 200 rounds. I feel like my time and money has been spent wisely.

[Atonic]

3? I have no spp. Am in debt to a friend for 500.

If I decide to shoot some of the odd-ball service calibers, along with all the ammo I have for normal stuff, I probably have a lifetime worth of ammo.

[toallmy]

Well until I couldn't get anymore I thought I had plenty of primers every thing else is good .
I Probably do anyway , but you never know how long the shortage will last .

[ddixie884]

4.5 for me...........

[Rex]

I've quit shooting for a while. Primers are my major hold up. I just switch over to the shotgun as shotshells seem plentiful, I don't reload them anymore. I do grab the S&W once in a while with snap caps just to keep the feel.

[Sig]

Defcon 5.5 here. Only thing I'd like is some more WW lead. That's just to keep me occupied during this cluster*.

[ioon44]

I always stay around 5, but I collect lead where ever I can.

[fivegunner]

Defcon 7, All I am going to say.

[Hanzy4200]

5 - I'm probably a 6, but seriously, how can you have "to much"?

[brass410]

pretty much set except for storage space, we'll be needing an addition. future orders will be by the skid unless swmbo catches wind of my ideas.

[Huskerguy]

I'm a 4.5 kind of guy. Lots of components and 22 ammo, bunch of factory ammo in some calibers I keep in reserve and most calibers I am good except for 9mm which I am working on loads for right now.

That said, I only shoot 22, 38/357, 9, 40, 45 ACP, and 30-06

[Burnt Fingers]

Define "enough".

At current shooting levels I'll be out of small pistol primers in about 18 months. I've got enough powder to cover that.

I've loaded right at 30K of mixed 9mm and 45 ACP so far this year.

Brass is normally free for the pickup at my club. I cast almost all my own boolits. I should go pick up some scrap lead one of these days. I have a 55 gallon drum that's about half full of wheel weights coming my way.

[Gone_rabid]

For the amount I shoot im at defcon 4.5.

Recently got some lead to start casting more boolits.

[fredj338]

Def 4.5. I shoot about 10K rds a year. With what I have, I could shoot for about 6-7y, then primers become an issue. So if this settles down, I will be looking for more primers.

[skrapyard628]

Mostly at defcon 5. All of my target ammo cans are full, plenty of home defense rounds, and more than enough components to last more than a year until I run low on primers.

The only exception is that dang 50beowulf. I feel like Im low on ammo for it by only having about 300 bullets and 99 pieces of brass. Maybe if I still had that one piece of brass I lost in the tall grass I would feel better.
