I couldn't even guesstimate how much of what different caliber/cartridge I have on hand---I have a pretty stable par for everything I shoot. Where my "things are going south" supply is concerned, I have components. Good supply of primers, and my powders all cross over on multiple platforms. So if need were to arise, I could load thousands of anything that I decide I need most while leaving the less effective ones down at a functional par level, and I can shift that par easily as situations change.

But for a good solid number on something, I have enough WW alloy to cast about 50,000 bullets in the 180gr. weight range and molds/checks for all the main platforms I would choose to put them through. I'd run short on primers long before my bullet supply went dry.
