Dang....I wonder if a guy could make a few bucks with a 1050 Dillon in his spare time.

If he wanted to go to jail, sure.

You have to have a license to reload ammunition for resale. Selling reloads without one is asking for jail time.

I love how they won't give specifics on which calibers are backordered.

gee 5.56 and 9mm and possibly a little .308 and 7.62x39 maby?

Cartridge components are getting a bit scarce, too, especially small rifle primers.

That's natures way of telling you its time to step up and start shooting a manly caliber.

what if my only use of small rifle primers is in .454 Casull handguns?

They could help the civilian demand for military cartridges by allowing steel core surplus to be imported again. I remember the days of cheap cases of Chinese 7.62x39.

Especially since there is already a ton of steel core surplus being sold right now... It's only be of help.

I had been thinking along those lines myself. I think I see an M1 in my not-too-distant future .

I guess the upside is if the war stops, and the plants are rachetted up to 4x 24/7 production, we could see a temporary decline in price as the factories ramp down.

That would be a good time to have loads of cash handy and stock up on new production milspec ammo.
