I have nothing against reloading at all. In fact I have a bunch of buckets of brass in the garage and I may well take it up one of these days, just for fun. While I get it \u2013 you can make your own ammo \u2013 I believe that statement misses the forest for the trees.<\/h2>\n<h2>The reloader isn\u2019t relieved from stockpiling. The reloader\u2019s burden shifts from purchasing loaded ammunition to purchasing ammunition components. Your reloading bench does little good without an adequate supply of brass, bullets, powder, and primers. I have seen components in high demand and low supply in the past and those shortages will probably happen again (if they aren\u2019t already). If your primary mechanism for stockpiling ammunition is reloading, you should substitute (almost) every instance of the word \u201cammunition\u201d in this article with the word \u201ccomponents.\u201d<\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/swiftsilentdeadly.com\/stockpiling-ammunition-a-thorough-approach\/\">RTWT @ Swift Silent Deadly<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stockpiling Ammunition: A Thorough Approach &nbsp; I have long advocated the practice of stockpiling ammunition.
