What brand/style of 'loading gear' do you own that is now collecting dust?If my supply gets too low I would probably even buy another case at .40 a round before dusting off the loading gear.

Most of my stuff is Lee. Couple presses both a Turret and one standard. Use an RCBS measure. Digital Scale is made by some big name but can't remember which now, too lazy to go open the containers. Have one of the Midway Vibratory case cleaners. Dies for every caliber I own by Lee except for .25. As the only .25 I own is just a family pass down seldom shot. Keep some 5 gal buckets of supplies. Have told the kids a few times that when I shuffle off they would be wise to wait till another panic is going on to unload it all since none of them are interested in using it. Even if I ever do jump and buy one of those super nice auto deals I would still keep at least one manual press and dies in case I ever wanted to play with just a few rounds of something.What brand/style of 'loading gear' do you own that is now collecting dust?
No , don't be silly... herd animals act like herd animalsQuestion is will all the folks crying about availability and price have finally learned from history and stock up this time when the prices and availability return to normal??
I don't know about them but I'm going to. I got caught flat footed on primers. I have literally everything else, and was just getting nervous about my last few thousand rounds of 9mm before the prices started slowly receding. Once I think they've hit bottom I'm going to give the UPS guy a hernia. And primers dang it, primers. Lots of those.Question is will all the folks crying about availability and price have finally learned from history and stock up this time when the prices and availability return to normal??
No they will not.Question is will all the folks crying about availability and price have finally learned from history and stock up this time when the prices and availability return to normal??

I can reload 100 9mm in around 12 minutes, about the time it takes our coffee to brew. Hornady lock-n-load progressive. Time now includes decapping & priming, whereas I was doing such separately before...Sure as hell nothing wrong with that. If I was not working so many hours I would I am sure roll some more. I have always enjoyed it but, it's not my favorite way to kill time and time is short now days. Just pulled another 13 day strait work stint and then finally got 7 off. No idea when I will be able to take another week off and no end in sight for the extra shifts. Its why I have been sorely tempted to buy one of those fully automated machines. Damn things are amazing to watch running.
That's a great price. It's $32 on the Federal website. I just want to try a box or two, but can't find it anywhere in the Seattle-Tacoma area. Walmart's don't have anything around here anymore.Walmart in Tigard had about 5 boxes of Fed Auto Match on the shelf this morning. I passed on it at $18+ for a box of 325 rounds.

Some will, some won't.Question is will all the folks crying about availability and price have finally learned from history and stock up this time when the prices and availability return to normal??
Primers, powder, projectiles, etc., are some of the things that I will be picking up when the prices get back to normal. I have some primers/powder, but not many projectiles and none in some calibers (e.g., 40).I remember standing in front of a table at a gun show a couple years ago. He had stacks of primers for $110/5k, as I recall. I briefly thought about buy a BUNCH, but didn't. I had the money, but didn't want to run afoul of fire code/storage laws.
