I would also advise people to learn to reload for an emergency. Loading your own ammunition will prove to be one of the most valuable skills in a SHTF scenario. I took up reloading this year and just passed my 4000th round.
Also bought a furnace to cast my own bullets should the need ever arise.
When considering reloading, I look at which items are most critical and which I can make myself if necessary. Casting bullets is fairly easy. You can scrounge discarded brass casings. I think primers would be the most difficult “do it yourself” item. You could substitute black powder for smokeless powder in an emergency.
I think a persons primary priority should be primers followed by smokeless powder.
Congrats!
Make sure you get your bullet molds NOW. Elec furnace is nice and convenient but you can melt wheel weights and lead on an open fire. Finding the bullet molds you need when the SHTF problematic. Oh, and snag the wheel weights when you can. Check reload forums for various alloy qualities and lubes.
how will you power your furnace?
