According to a 2019 Gallup poll, 30% of Americans responded that they own a firearm.

America has 328 Million residents.

So that gives us over 98 Million Firearms Owners.

I am going to guesstimate that only 5% - 10% of Firearms owners reload

So that gives us between 4.9 and 9.8 million reloaders in America

While the number of new Firearms owners has dramatically increased in the last 4-5 months, I doubt that they represent a measurable increase in reloaders
