    Being out of whack is just another excuse for buying more of whatever we seem to be short of. The day I have enough loading components, guns or money someone else will have to figure out what to do with it all.

    You know, I must have had a premonition....that's how all my guns and reloading supplies were lost too.

    I'm still waiting for the prices to go down since Clinton's inauguration! Just wait, the prices will go down again!

    Sounds like a catch 22 here somewhere. I buy 40K primers and then short of powder. I find a good deal on powder in stock and order 50 lbs. Now I am short of primers again. And we left out all that "just in case" brass I got a deal on. Just a merry go round--endless circle, but it shore is fun.

    Maybe the best solution is to buy more guns in different calibers and dies and stuff. Life is hard to balance, me thinks.

    I am in the opposite fix, Not enough powder, (need some more LR, but just a few boxes to be safe).

    I'm about square for now. But like many I expect to find a deal any minute.
