Friday will be the fairgrounds gun show. Since the last show the weekend of April 12th, I've been casting bullets, scrounging primers and powder and loading ammo. For this show, I loaded over 11,000 rounds of the popular pistol calibers. That doesn't include the odd calibers and rifle ammo. It also doesn't count what I have sold to one of my good customers for his store. Hopefully, with 97 boxes of 9 mm, I won't run out before Sunday. The last 3 shows I had to work into the wee hours just to have something to put on the table.
Here's the breakdown of pistol ammo on hand.
380; 800 rounds
9mm; 4850 rounds
38 Super; 100 rounds*
38spec; 950 rounds
357; 100 rounds*
40 S&W; 2850 rounds
45ACP; 1600 rounds
That comes to 225 boxes that are packed and ready to load.
I didn't bother to inventory 41, 44, 45 Colt or 454. That would add another 500 or so and then there is the rifle calibers. I in the process of loading 800 223's with 55 gr Lead gas checked bullets. After this show, the next one isn't until the end of September. I think I'll take a week off and do some napping. Right after I mow the yard.
* brass for these has been a problem.
