RSA ... (Reloading Supply Anxiety)

[rustyinbend]

I've been on a months (years) long mission to restock the reloading supplies I need for the five calibers I reload. A couple of months ago, I hit that sweet-spot where I have sufficient cases, powders, primers, and bullets for each of my favorite reference loads to last me through several years of load development, normal practice, matches, and recreational shooting. BUT ... I still have this odd situation where I see alerts or forum posts showing reloading supplies "In-Stock", and I reflexively hit the link, and if it's something I might use "someday" ... my finger hovers over the <ENTER> key with my brain experiencing physical and emotional anxiety about "not" buying something I "don't" need anymore.

Does anybody know of a good "RSA 12-Step Program"?

(Rusty) - "Hi, my name is Rusty, and I compulsively buy reloading supplies I don't need."
(Group) - "HI RUSTY"

Maybe I'll start one at my local range ...

Sorry Rusty, no known cure.

Sorry Rusty, no known cure.

Maybe it's like Alcoholism ... where you can't cure it, but you can manage the urges ... one day at a time.

 

[larryh128]

Possibly, no promises though.

I always have the mentality of if it's a good deal and you have the money, might as well buy it if you don't need it right now. At worst, you can always sell it. That's how one ends up with 50k+ primers. lol

 

[larryh128]

Don't think I'm anyone that someone should talk to a cure about. Just bought a chassis I don't need but maybe use it with the action I bought on Black Friday that I didn't need and now will probably go with the triggers I bought on sale and the next barrel I don't need. Never ending cycle.

 

[bigdaddydmd]

Yeah, just based on inflation alone the cost to buy in a few years vs today makes it worthwhile. How many of us look back longingly on 2016 prices of primers/powder and think "I should have bought way more primers". Like Bacarrat mentioned if you have the resources and ability and end up with too much you can be sure that it will sell locally if you end up getting out of that caliber or just run out of storage.

LOL ... you sound like one of those guys that says to your alcoholic friend ... "Come on buddy, just one drink won't hurt you".

Looks like we have a group therapy thread right here.

You've inspired me ... I'm going shopping for primers I don't need.

This was my approach. Basically worked, although I still am tempted to collect all the RL-16 I can when it comes up.

Never used Discord ... but AmmoSeek and individual distributor alerts both worked well for me. I've tried deleting the notifications, but every time I try to push the <DELETE> button, I get hives, a rash, hand tremors, a fever, and floaters in my dominant eye.

Not going to lie, I did somewhat pressure my friends a couple of years back into buying a but load of primers when it was penny hazmat fee at Brownells. But we are having the last laugh when looking at the primer and powder market of today. Did some searching my old emails and found a invoice for Wolf Primers for 89 bucks per 5k way back.

 

[larryh128]

Can you even buy a Wolf primer today?
