I learned my lesson during the Great Obama Gun Scare. Prior to that, I had always purchased my reloading supplies pretty much as needed, never "stockpiling" anything. And I ran out of everything, for a good long time. Never again. My "resupply" lower limit on primers is when they drop below five bricks. The powders I use the most are now purchased in eight pound kegs, and when the last one gets opened another gets purchased. The few jacketed bullets I use are resupplied if they drop below 500 on hand. Casting all of my pistol and revolver bullets, along with over half of my rifle bullets helps.

I now have enough on hand to where I no longer actively look for anything. I'll just wait for things to calm down again, and once again start building inventory. If I happen to see a brick of primers when I'm in one of my local gun stores, so be it - I'll buy whatever it is. Even if I don't "need" it right now. I hate to be that way, I really do, but I won't be caught without for an extended period of time ever again.
