Thank Every One of You Men for sharing this information and all those memories!

I knew this was a solid idea 😁

#4 steel and #1 steel will be my staple but with all things handloading, there's always room to grow.

Fast, light loads of #1 steel through the Patternmaster CB Waterfowl/Goose is what I intend to put on rabbits, but the patterning board will have the final say.

I will keep the bigger shot for several reasons.  Penetration and being easier to find to remove are two.

Lighter loads = higher velocities = less stringing

I can’t get any reloading expendables like powder, bullets, brass, and primers. When will it end?

I'm guessing 2-3 years (hopefully) when our "world market" gets back on its feet... a relative scarcity incites a relative panic, resulting in over-buying/hoarding which then creates actual scarcity (though the actual panic does not escalate as rapidly as the scarcity)... think of the .22 shell shortage of a few years back, it was insane for awhile, but generally bounced back (with some price increase).

  I always laugh when I hear about a 22 shell shortage. I own a company that installs alarm systems in homes. I see so many customers that have thousand and thousands of rounds of 22's in their homes and are complaining that there's a shortage. I had one customer that had so many cases in his spare bedroom that they busted through the floor and landed into the basement. Then you get a dad that just wants to take his kid out back and teach him how to shoot goes to the store and they're all sold out. I believe if guys were not hoarding them then there would be plenty to sell and the price would go down.

I can see having a couple thousand because the 500 packs are relatively small (which I don't even have a full one in my house), but the crazy thing is I can't imagine how many boxes/rounds your client had to break through the floor... simple math says at 5lbs/box it would take 40 boxes (or 20,000 rounds) which compares to a 200lb man or piece of furniture that could be on the floor indefinitely, so I would say the dude definitely had more than 20,000.
