    So, what do you consider a 10 year supply of each of your critical calibers?. To me, a "critical caliber" is one I'm going to need to defend home and hearth and keep food on the table.

    My Lyman 4-20 had a terminal inside corrode on me. It didn't stop the pot but it took a long time to heat up and wouldn't hold temp. Easily fixed.

    Might be worth a glance.
