[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2284753, member: 101791"] When you are setting up to built a round up for a new rifle. You would have 4 6 thousand just large rifle primers, Mag Primer you would that much again at lease. Powder I don't purchase less than 8lbs size and my go to powders 16 lbs. Different manufactures product too. Then you small rifle primers and could be in the range or 4k, and then pistol primes again 4k of so. Shotgun even more than that. For different shotgun shell should be using the manufactures case primer. I load for 28, 20, 12 gauge, and several manufactures case. Go trap shooting and go through 250 to 500 round at a time. Powder you are only going to get somewhere between 60 and 130 rounds per 1lbs. Loading for several rifles that use the same powder won't go that far. Shooting 5 shot groups the powder doesn't go that far. So if somebody has 80 to 100 lbs of powder that really isn't that much. It wasn't so bad when you could go the store and get powder off the shelve. I've seen this happen several times over the years. [/QUOTE]
