    Thousands.... And still not enough. I really can't keep up. Need some 10-cav molds and a 200lb pot....

    Never enough but more than is needed for right now. Plus if the excrement strikes the windmill I've still got six fifty cal ammo cans full of loose surplus 7.62 Nato and a whole bunch of those nasty high capacity magazines stuffed with the same stuff from Portugal and So. Africa.

    I've got 22,000 .358 185gr WFN cast and ready to be sized/lubed.

    Boxes an boxes of lubed/sized. A cabinet full of loaded. And piles of ingots sorted by BHN. I'm kinda enjoying watching all the 'panic buying'. Tried telling people for years to stock up. Would they listen to me? Nooooooo....

    Tens of thousands over the years. At any given time I usually have 5K on hand for various calibers.

    Not enough cast and not enough loaded. I don't like to keep unloaded bullets around since they're more useful for self protection in ingot form

    I have way more boolits cast, sized, and lubed ready to be loaded than I have brass to load them into! Sometimes I go back to some of the boolits I cast when I was first starting out, and I'll melt them down as they no longer meet my standards of how a boolit should be. That's the nice thing about boolit casting, if you don't like the way they come out you can always melt them down and redo them, even if it's years later.

    You never can have too many boolits.

    After I lube and size the run of 8mm's I poured on Tuesday, I estimate I should have enough to last until around this same time next year. Of course, that estimate is subject to revision, contingent upon acquisition of new gun(s) in a caliber I don't already cast/load or new mould(s) for guns I already own.

    Thousands of handgun boolits. Not near as many riffle boolits.

    I've got loaded at least a thousand 38's and 357's, over 500 44's, 300 or so 30-30's, and a couple hundred 45-70's. Probably 3-4000 cast and ready to load and at least 3 times that many as cast only. Dale

    probably around 20K give or take.

    Like to size and lube as I go along as that's the least 'fun' part of the whole experience

    Thousands...even boolits for rifles/calibers I no longer have. Prolly 2000 45's, 500 each of .358, 224, .308, and .375. Thousands of odds and ends, plus a 5 gallon bucket of good boolits sized and lubed for guns I no longer have or am likely to reacquire.

    I don't shoot as much as some but I try to maintain at least 1000 each for the various handgun calibers I own. I'm just getting into casting for the rifle calibers so probably don't have more than a couple hundred of each of those............ I even found close to 1000 for a caliber I don't even have any more. . I could probably sell them right now for a pretty good price but with lead getting harder to come by I think I will just hang on to them to melt down later...............

    If you count that high in public, you will get arrested.

    Anyone that thinks I'm going to count all the boxes of bullets I have cast and lubed, let alone the ones that are just cast and not sized and lubed is crazier than I am.

    Guesstimating, 10's of thousands, heck it might be even in the 100's of thousands. Lead in ingots? A ton or 2.
