Well, anybody reloading? Online sources for supplies? Favorite loads, primers, powder, bullets.
Wish i had bought primers, and powder years ago.
I have most the gear

I used to reload a bunch back in the late 80’s early 90’s, got in a bad way financially and had to sell everything and just getting started again.
I loaded a few Craptons (Imperial Units) of 44 Mag and lots of 357.
I also loaded 35 Whelen, 30 Herrett, 222 Rem, 22 Hornet.
I have everything but primers for loading 30-30, could use some 250gr LSWCs for the 44.

Large rifle primers are damn hard to find right now, if I was in a bind I wouldn’t be afraid to use large pistol in 30-30
Even though i don't relaod i always pick up my brass. i gave a away a slew of rifle brass a while back. to someone who reloads. Mostly 30-06 223 and 308 fired from machine guns i had for years.. but there was a lot of 300 blk and a few others too. probably have 4 to 5 thousand rounds of pistol brass now in all calibers. I always thought about getting into reloading but my OCD would never let me reload for any length of time. also it wasn't worth it back years ago when you could buy ammo cheap. i still wouldn't reload 9mm or smaller now. to cheap to sit for hours doing it. also i am too stupid to reload, would probably blow myself up.
Being OCD would serve you well for reloading I would think.
I don’t think you can reload basic rounds, say a 223 with a 55 gr fmj any cheaper than you can buy them, but what about when we can’t buy em or more uncommon bullet cartridge combinations that you can’t find on the shelf.

I remember when ammo couldn't be found a few years ago, none of the reloading components could be found either. probably the best survival rifle is a black powder. a flintlock at that. percussion caps are crazy expensive now and from what i hear can't be found.
I ain’t never done shot shells, used to hunt pheasants and a few ducks, maybe a Sage grouse from time to time but just never used a shotgun much
I really enjoy shooting prairie dogs and rock chucks at a distance. I enjoy trying to be as accurate as possible out to 300+ yards. Another reason for a interest in handloading
I had a couple of good bird dogs and quail hunted quite a bit.
I understand quail hunting can get addictive and expensive.
Hungarian partridge is the closest thing to a quail I’ve ever seen.
