If you're stocking brass, powder, primers and bullets this is a quick reference chart to help you back into how much of the above you'll need for your pet loads. As an example: You want to be able to stock enough supplies to reload 1000 rounds of .308 rounds using 45 gr of IMR 4064 with 168 gr bullets. 1000 primers - $35.00 1000 168 gr match bullets - $280.00 6.5 lbs IMR 4064 - $145.00 (8 lbs, extra 170 round +/-) 150 rounds .308 brass - $60.00 (or scrounge at range) $.605 per round (average) *.17 a round cheaper if you scrounge brass $12.10 per box of 20 rounds All of these supplies would easily fit into a milk crate size container. $24.99 for a Lee Loader in .308 and you have 1000 round Bug Out Reloading kit

Granted its not match ammo..... -Nate #6 · Jan 1, 2012 Some reasons Relaxation Calibers that are obsolete Making matched ammo for a specific weapon Calibers that are too expensive to purchase But in a prepping situation, because there isn't any left to buy. It's also a skill that will have value. 0 Reply #3 · Jan 1, 2012 Easy, no chart needed. There are 7000 grains to a pound. To figure out how many rounds you get from a pound, divide the grains per round from 7000. #5 · Jan 1, 2012 This is a new generation Palidin. There has to be a link and an app for everything and two calculators for deviding 7000 by whatever. Lord help us if the depleted brain cells are required to remember more than one load! Got to have a seperate app for each caliber. Show more replies 0 Reply #4 · Jan 1, 2012

But we have considered reloading AFTER the SHTF and concluded that we are going to have way too much on our daily plates anyway to consider taking ADDITIONAL time/effort to reload. Reloading/Handloading is a fun and fairly inexpensive hobby that brings satisfaction on many levels. We do it now because it is enjoyable making ACCURATE ammo. HB of CJ (enjoyable old coot)

#9 · Feb 26, 2012 THROW THE CHART AWAY!!!! There are 7000 grains in a lb of powder. Just divide 7000 by the weight of your charge-no chart needed to determine the # of rounds per pound! #10 · Feb 26, 2012 I've been a reloader for 30 years. I think the OP is great for someone who hasn't done it before, and I thank the OP for posting it. More and more people are thinking of getting into reloading and that's great info to add to the information mix. I reload cheaper than that by buying less expensive bullets and I use my brass about 7-10 times. I chose military compatible calibers and buy surplus once-fired brass in 5.56 and 7.62. The 7.62 can be loaded to .308. Yes I have to decap and swage primer pockets once, but it's just part of the process. The OP didn't mention cleaning brass, so toss in a tumbler and some media.
