Yeah I need to finally buy reloading equipment and just start reloading. It’s gotten out of hand. I don’t even shoot much anymore. Just sight things in before season. Any shooting I do is just my 22. They are doing a good job driving people away from the shooting sports. It’s sad.
Never too late to get involved and start handloading, it is the best way to protect yourself from shortages and gouging. It is also a fun and enjoyable activity giving a lot of self satisfaction producing ammo that is the equal to or even better than factory stuff at a reasonable cost.
For the high prices paid for a couple of boxes of ammo a modest reloading setup can be easily purchased off of ebay.

I loaded a couple boxes of 35 Rem 200 grain hornady interlok rounds for my brother last week, $8 a box.
No tax, driving or waiting in line.
He bought the die set, powder, primers and projos years ago and all I do is load him a couple boxes each year so he can get some target practice on woodchucks before the season opens.

Had a great hunt with Beaver City Bear Hunts in Denare Beech Saskatchewan. Shot an absolute giant black bear 2 hours into the hunt. Trail cam pic is from the week before. Sent from my LM-G850 using Tapatalk
Many of the Stewart's sell none Eth. I run a couple gallons into my truck before I fill my cans just to clear the hose. I haven't had to rebuild or replace a carb or fuel line in any of my 2cycle or 4 cycle equipment in 3 years.
I am so glad that I got into reloading . Even though the reloading components rose in price , it is still less that buying ammo outright . Waiting for two of my sons and grandson to test some rounds so I can do some more reloading for them .
Shot him with a TC Pro Hunter with my 338WM barrel. Recovered the slug to boot. Doing a half body pedestal mount to show off the body size. Sent from my LM-G850 using Tapatalk
I just bought a reloading press to make some whitetail suitable ammo for my .22-250. All the factory ammo is cup and core varmint stuff. Still need to get powder, primers and a case trimmer before I can make the first batch.
To answer your question Yes. I paid $70 a box for 7-08 a while back at the height of the ammo shortage and I feel that was insane btw I bought two and have gotten it a lot cheaper since and didn't use any of it yet. Paranoia will destroy ya.
