I just decided to empty my powder cabinet and take inventory, now that most everything you can want is back on the shelves here in my neighborhood. During the 2009-2016 period that wasn't the case. However, I seem to have found I have a little more than I thought, something approaching 60 pounds over 28 different types. I don't know who has been buying it and sticking it in the cabinet.

It is an embarrassment of riches - I don't think I can shoot all of this in my remaining time AND there are still some I just need to try. I am beginning to believe it is a worse addiction than crack.

And primers? Something approaching 25,000.... I'm sick, I tell you.

Oh man, you think you're sick I'm fixing to build a heated reloading/gun build room inside of my big shop so I can spend countless hours out there during the winter :thumbsup2: ... icon_eek

I can see where the first 3 might get you out of trouble, and that last one might get you in a bit of trouble... icon_eek
