I've been a handloader for most of my life, starting with shotshells at age 14.
All through early part of my LE career, shot competitively and loaded ALOT.
On retirement, and trying to sell our house for a move, had to disassemble the 'gun room' where all my gear was and place in storage.
Obviously all loading stopped.

Worked p/t at a couple of busy LGS's and figured as I had no way to load ammo, I oughta take advantage of discounts on ammo and really good online deals here and there.
It took much longer to sell the house and so this went on an inordinately long time. Almost all the ammo I was accumulating went into an indoor storage unit for later use.
Good plan.
Except I'd kinda lost track of what and how much of whatever caliber and ammo I was accumulating.

Now, been in our current house/last home for 2+ years now, loading bench all set up. Except there's no real reason to load anything.
From my years of accumulating ammo, I'm well stocked until approximately 2052.
Oh - during that same phase of accumulating I also stocked up on primers, powder and bullets.

I have placed myself in a conundrum.
