Just a gloating rant from a happy hoarder and a true believer in: buy it cheap and stack it deep.
It's been way too long since I've been here, approximately 3 1/2 years if I had to guess. One thing I have to say is that I am grateful I didn't listen to my wife about spending so much money on reloading components years ago. I've been busy traveling the country for work and haven't had much time at all to go shooting, let alone even think about setting a press until recently. Finally have some down time for a couple months and set the family back up at home and was able to go into my storage unit. I can honestly say I haven't made too many solid investments in my life but being able to pull out tote after tote after tote of brass, bullets and powder made me feel like I was robbing Fort Knox.
With the way things were, have and are going in this country, politically and economically I had to stop and just enjoy the triumph of being right. The grin on my face would've put the grinch to shame when she asked, "how much did all that cost?" and my answer was "not even half of what it's worth today".
End of gloating. I hope a lot of you guys have found yourself in pretty much the same situation of preparedness. Now for the next few weeks I will be plugging away and turning components into piles of shiny freedom.

so I never come close to burning through my supplies and just maintain and sustainable pace of buying more than I use.
