I also reload.
Pick an arbitrary number of rounds you think you will need for SHTF. What do you do after you fire that last round you put away?
I would wager that the average reloader has more rounds loaded and ready to go than that number you picked and has enough components to reload that brass another 3 or 4 times.

My ability to convince myself that I am a combination of Rambo, John McClane, and Dirty Harry isn’t that strong. I have at least 50x the amount of ammo that I can carry, so I plan to take a bunch of the bastards with me but if it comes down a endless horde of them attacking my home, Omega Man style, then they’ll probably get to me before I run dry.

At least that much. I reload too. All I said is that some calibers are not worth reloading if you value your finite time on earth. That’s basic microeconomics.

Yep.

Yes! I used to buy 10,000 primers at a time & 8 lb kegs of powder. And every couple of months, some buddies and I would make a bulk bullet run to Iowa to pick up several thousand hard-cast lead bullets each at a time.
