Yeah, I'm very happy I started loading and casting about 1970. I got caught in a primer shortage around 1978 IIRC. I then started buying components a bit at a time as often as I could afford. Now over 50 years of stocking components has put me in a position where I can load and shoot as much as I want for the rest of my days. Occasionally I get a gun that shoots a round that is new to me and I need to get brass and a mold or two but even that is rare anymore.
