      First off, I'm still waiting up on some component orders from Dustin so that I can actually reload decent quantities. But for now, I'm stuck with the following numbers:

      223: 300/5000

      308: 1200ish/2000

      45acp: 0/1000 (No pistol powder or projectiles)

      40s&w: 50/2000 (No pistol powder or projectiles)

      50beo: 100/500 (Just got it working smoothly this weekend)

      50AE: 40/250 (Just need to adjust the Beo dies a little, and get the right primers and such)

      22LR: 3000/10000

      12ga: 250/1000 (200 Federal low-recoil tactical, 50 Wally World left, some assorted other)

      9mm: 500/500 (Barely use it; if SHTF happens, it'll be lying around - but once I have a 9mm AR, I'm going for it)

      Tokarev: 150/250

      44mag: 40/100 (Don't use it much; only gun I use it with is my DE)

      7.62x39mm: 2000/5000 (Waiting on pointed projectiles from Midway)

      7.62x54r: 1600/1600

      8mm mauser: 300/500 (Hakim)

      I might be forgetting a few calibers...

                I get nervous if there's less that 4000 rounds of 223 under my bed (alongside 1K of 45ACP, and more downstairs closet/garage).

                If I can find Fed XM193 for under $190/1K again I'm gonna get 10K rounds of it.

                      For all you ammo. horders, you ought to think about reloading. For every 1K rounds sitting pretty, you're tying up about $250 unused, depending on the caliber.
                      Ever since I start reloading, my perspective on ready-ammo has totally changed. Now I just play w/ different recipe and load up fewer than 200rds for my shoot-day. Before reloading, I used to worry about surplus ammo drying up, now they just sit in my garage.

                          It takes me two days to load a thousand

                          Everytime there's a disturbance in the force, I reload a thousand rounds. .308, .223, 30.06, 6.5X55, 8MM 7.92X57. These are Match rounds. The brass is already prossesed. Primer, powder, Bullet. The other day Hillary was on the tube. I started loading.
                          I won't be wronged
                          I won't be insulted
                          And I won't be laid a hand on.
                          I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.....John Wayne

                                What? Do you know manufacturer? Considering SA and Pakistani .308 is going for over $300 a case - heck yeah.
