[ARCHIVED THREAD] - How did Y2K affect your reloading

Posted: 1/1/2010 9:20:12 AM EDT

I haven't yet touched the reloading stash I hid.

20K primers, 60 lbs of powder, 20 K various bullets.

I'm just now using the stash I did in 93. I didn't stash powder then but primers, bullets, and brass. I'll replace this one for one.

"How did Y2K affect your reloading?"

I didn't.

Neither did the 1992 scare.

Neither did the 2009 scare.

I am using my primers purchased in 94 during the Clinton years... I did not stock up during the Y2K scare.

I shoot a lot, that is why I stashed. I'll begin using the older powder though.

The cost of projectiles has had the most profound effect on my loading. I now cast almost everything I shoot. But that wasn't Y2K driven.

I loaded a thousand 9mms this week. When was Y2K?

I am hoping the economic magic will swing negative on ammo components and I will buy more stuff. I have been too busy to shoot this year. I have only been to the range twice. This is a hell of a change from two to three times a day, several times a week. It sucks ass when your favorite range closes.

I think things are starting to calm down. Actually we moved into a new house 1-1-00 and I stashed the stuff in the garage and one kid after another moved back and only now can I get to it

I loaded a lot of 223, 308, and 45 ACP prior to Y2K.

Still have some of the handloaded 223 and 45 ACP left.

The Factory loaded mil 5.56, still have a couple of k of that left also.

The Great Primer Famine of '94 (or '95?) taught me to hoard primers, Y2K nothing, I was already well stocked

Y2K greatly expanded my supply inventory.

Because several of my non-reloading relatives bought a metric shitload of reloading supplies. Which they never used at all. And gave to me for free in about April of 2000, to clean out their garages.

I still have a bunch of stuff from 2000 that I'm working my way through.
