I keep hearing people say invest your money in something that maintains value like bullets.

Is this good advice? Should I be putting all my money in bullets? Are their other options? I want to turn my fiat currency into something valuable.

I am heavily invested in primers as well. Just don't drop em!

Smart!

I for serious wish I had gotten into reloading back when that was still possible. It was always a thing i wanted to do with that next bonus or over that next holiday or whatever. Drat.

I wish I got into pistol reloading. Every reloader told me pistol isn't worth it...obviously not the case anymore. 9mm and 5.56 are the same price now lol. But I like shooting rifle more anyway.

  • 0.60 for 9mm at best
  • 1.00 for 5.56 at best

Are the prices I'm seeing. I've been converting 223 into 300blk and that's a pretty good upsell in terms of price per round value, especially subs, less powder and they are worth more.

Man, I knew this nutjob, a range friend y'know, who always brought a big huge bucket of reloads. It was kind of funny; he shot 9mm and .38spl and they were all just thrown in there in a huge heavy pile. He'd make weird fun reactive targets and let me shoot his nice revolver sometimes; I just had to pick out the right ammo and load it from his bucket! Good times.

Then I got all fancy and started reserving private range lanes because that was a thing that fancy members of that range could do back then in that place, and I hardly ever went to the pistol range side of the place anymore where he always was. And now we live all far from there and I hope that I still remember how to shoot at all...

Those are hard to get, I bought as many as I could when I found some in stock.

Shells however you can collect for free at ranges and toss them in tumbler to clean a bit then deprime and polish them up for sale. That's working quite well thus far.

A little dish soap and steel mixing media.

I just shoot em with a brass catcher and reload. Selling is a pretty good idea because fully processing 5.56 brass is a major chore. Removing primer crimps, trimming to size (because they stretch when fired) and deburring. Then you can start reloading.

I ended up with an auto trimmer as one of the dies in the reloader, trims and reforms.

An rt1500 for dillon machines.

A brass catcher would help, but I don't mind too much picking it up after. The kids make a game of who can get the most.
