At what point are you doing either or? Been reloading 30+ years, I've got a good stockpile of ever caliber I load for. I have a buddy that would buy 4 8# jugs of powder when it was on sale and I'd buy 1. Asked him why, his reply was " It's never gonna get any cheaper". Times are rough for us right now, just curious. This is not meant to chastise anyone. I'm sure some replies will be very interesting or humorous. So please gentlemen and ladies let er rip! Thanks.
