I think I will buy a Dillon 550 and use it for 9mm. And perhaps a gen 5 Glock 34 mos to go along with it.

Dillon. More Dillon. Particularly dies and conversion kits of calibers that will be in sky-high demand the next time this absurdity happens. And it will.
Powder and primers first, then I will begin acquiring .44-40 brass, and then a rifle that is chambered in .44-40.
22lr. By the case!
I've finally decided to dip my toe into casting my own. Already ordered Lee 4-20 and 1 mould in caliber I can't find from commercial casters now; so naturally when this is over I'm going to invest more into moulds and lead.
Hi...
After primers and powder, I suspect I will add to my .22LR/.22Magnum supply and build a surplus of cast lead bullets.
I'll probably buy a back-up Lee classic Turret press.
and Brass...lots of Brass

Yup .22 rf. Primers and powder as well. I just hope this nonsense goes away. I have a bad feeling about this one.
Nothing I'm sell stocked for now anyhow.
I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left.

Looking for a Hensly &Gibbs #258 any thing from a two cavity to a 10cavityI found a new one from a member here
I'll probably be looking for some primers in a couple years or so.
For now, I buying odds & ends I've wanted or need with the proceeds from selling some old stock I've had and
don't think I'll use ever again. Dies, factory ammo, gas checks, molds, etc.

OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.
This ain't your Grandma's sewing circle.
EVERYONE!
Back to your oars. The Captain wants to waterski.
It's going to be hard to not focus on primers and powder after this. I have been able to get pretty much everything else I need aside from primers and powder, even if I've been over paying a bit for some things. I figure that if I account for living and shooting regularly to the age of about 75, that's about 40 years from now. I'd feel okay, not completely comfortable but just okay, with about 3k primers for each of those 40 years. Obviously more would be better. At the moment I've only got about 5 years of 2k rounds a year on hand...
It is never going to be over! Abandon hope all who enter here. Evil is in charge and he never gives up.
A GUN THAT'S COCKED AND UNLOADED AIN'T GOOD FOR NUTHIN'........... ROOSTER COGBURN
Tooling. Dies, die mounting plates, an APP press.
Some specialty tools also. Neck turning and trimming, etc.
I'm actually pretty set for primers....
Same here. I am stocked up real nice (excellent intuition, I guess !) for all I will need for at least 6+ years.
I am investing in antique clocks and furniture now and NOT investing in anything to do with guns, casting, and ammo. No shortages there!!!!! And prices are really low right now.
I'll buy more of what I have - and I have enough ! Have not shot much but reloads for years, will probably stockpile some factory stuff just because.
I still could use a couple of molds. Also a turbo set up for my jeep. Guns ammo and loading stuff, I could get by nicely for 20 years or so if I live to 93 otherwise it goes to the kids.
I Wil not be around when this is over. Already told the old lady what a lot of this stuff is worth so she. Will not get robbed.
I'm thinking I will trade some rifles to get more pistol caliber carbines .
Powder I'm fine on. I will probably double my current primer supply.
Be nice to stock up some reasonably priced .22mag.
I'm sitting on enough .22lr to keep me shooting for a long time.
I truly believe we need to get back to basics.
Get right with the Lord.
Get back to the land.
Get back to thinking like our forefathers thought.
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you
and give you His peace. Let all of the earth – all of His creation – worship and praise His name! Make His
praise glorious!
