    I'll buy nothing.
    I am set for the remainder of my days.
    I am 72 now so you can imagine the lead, FMJ bullets, primers, brass and powder in inventory.
    Hopefully the Fire Chief never comes in.
    Canning jars and lids? Now that is a different story.

    I don't think I'll need anything.

    A 12-gauge auto-loader, .45 long slide (with laser sighting), phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range and an Uzi nine millimeter.

    Good enough here for now but when they are available I’m stocking up like never before. Same as many others primers, powder and 22lr. Going to the next level of stocking up.

    I am good but only in my mind, am I short on primers. I have plenty but keep thinking that if this doesn't pass over, primers for life would be my shortfall. About 10 years or so, my wife now looks pretty smart, when she was buying all those 500 ct. canning jar sleeves. LOL

    Primers and powder.....I am good to go for my own use but I enjoy reloading for my dad, brother and a few friends and all of them shoot more than me....maybe because I am busy reloading...

    I'm going to spread my extra bread around and get whatever I can get in the calibers I have. I'm also going to try to triple or better the supplies I currently have for my grandson to inherit. I have enough lead but will scrounge it when I can.

    JUST GOTTA LOVE THIS JOINT.

    I must be the luckiest guy on the planet. I had a friend close his tire shop and gave me 2500 lbs of wheel weights PLUS all that I have been able to scrounge over the last 10 years.
    No lead shortage here!

    The first thing that I'll do when the world opens back up is to take my Wife to a nice high end steak house and enjoy a big steak and Lobster and a few drinks. Someplace where they will serve it to us and clean up after us! Its been a while!

    Oh, I'll replace any components that I used up during these shortages and probably buy a gun or two!

    I'll share. Trying to see what I can do. I have three friends with tire shops in the area and have friends that know a couple others.

    Primers, powder, lead, and 22LR.
    I'm a big fan of data-driven decisions. You want to make me smile, show me a spreadsheet! Extra points for graphs and best-fit predictive equations.

    Not much for me. 41 years of loading and casting. I’m well stocked. I never ever bought primers unless I bought a 1000. Just habit. I really don’t need anything.

    Me too! I guess I would just settle for an AR-10 in .243. Prices and availability right now are just crazy. I'll probably get one about the time I get my phased plasma rifle.

    Looking at your post #41 and this one we sound very much alike. Wife and I will both turn 73 in a few months. Last year I had so many guys drop off so much lead here just for a place to get rid of it I'm not taking anymore. The wife has been giving canning jars away for the last couple of years and she is still overloaded. She tells me her lid inventory is good also. All we want is to slow the hands of time down.
