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.

Nah, I say entire cartridges are worth more than just bullets.

But bullets are still a pretty solid investment. Even the hollowpoint ones. Perhaps especially the hollowpoint ones!

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.

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.
