WOW!! I wuz just wandering about the grounds with a Volcano bag of @boo's finest, and I looked east and saw an amazing sight. Looks almost like a very bright cartoon face:

The Cheshire Cat Smile moon... and right beside it like a bright eye, Venus. <-- Like that, but with the open eye on the right.

what do you think would be an adequate supply of ammo to have on hand?

I know , there is never to much

but is there any opinions on a minimum amount of ammo that one should have?

.223
.308
9 mm
.38
.45

and 12 ga

prolly a dumb question but hey , I am just a human , not a god yet

To me, an adequate supply is enough to practice with (replenished as needed) and enough stored and prepped to either end any assault on myself and/or family (preferred outcome) or succumb to such...at which point it won't really matter how much ammo I have - apparently it wasn't enough.

I didn't see .22 LR in your list. That other stuff's a bit expensive (well...ALL of it is - even .22 anymore) for plinking.

I’m sitting outside here with the boys this evening and we just watched the space shuttle takeoff from the East Coast. It looks like a match rising out of the horizon up into the sky.

I saw a night launch years ago, from south of Tampa. It was pretty awesome.

A chronograph is a must when going for accuracy. There's a sweet spot that I aim for. Sometimes faster doesn't equate to more accurate.

Lee will actually make molds to your specs, but they ain't cheap. I got in a a group buy of .22 caliber mold through a reloading site that made it cheaper for a custom one. Ordering one will eat your wallet, and I can see why. Once they've got the machinery set, it's easier to crank out a bunch rather than just one.

I like the aluminum lee molds better than the iron ones personally.

You must load on the edge! Tenth of a grain is tiny! I'm usually not on extreme ends, just increase until a nice accuracy node seems to happen. I need to get a speed measuring chronograph or whatever for rifle fine tuning.

9mm is a high pressure round. A powder like Tite group does not fill case, care must be taken. With a fluffier powder, like Unique, it almost fills the case of a 9mm brass full, so somewhat safer.

I used a Dillon progressive for all my pistol rounds, which has a powder measure vis a vis a scale. I measured rifle powder to 0.1 grains.

With a pistol I am the least accurate component in the assembly, even with throwing the powder.
