If you are a shooter you need to start reloading. It isn't hard, is enjoyable, and will save you a lot of money. Components are hard to come by right now so keep it in mind for the future. Example: I cast my own bullets for .45 ACP and can reload with them for about $3.00 or so for 50. You can reload 5.56 for 1/4 the cost of new ammo. As for .22 LR, I didn't see a shortage coming, it was a bit of a surprise. But, I keep about 8K on hand so I have plenty to shoot and help out a friend in need.

Lock and Load!
