Not that long ago important knowledge was passed from the old generations to the new, food preparations, hunting, fishing, values, trust, honor and your name is only as good as your word is a favorite of mine.

Knowledge in reloading was one of the treasures that was passed down and is all but lost to this generation, and I dare state the next generation will not even know the term.

Several years ago everyone was hard pressed looking for ammo, varying calibers were almost nonexistent. Many people realized that without ammo their firearm was only a good club. Quickly the ammo disappeared from retailer’s shelves and most retailers had a hard time replenishing the small supply of ammo, if they could order it at all from their distributor it was limited and the cost kept escalating.

There were two types of people who had ammo at this time, those who were well supplied and those who reproduced and reloaded their own ammo. Although most avid shooters were alarmed and shocked by the shortage of ammo, many without ammo, vowed they would not be deceived again. However, as with all things time passes, the ammo returned and all is well with the world.

I think, why not have it both ways, knowledge and experience to reload as well as a good supply.

Rick and I are NRA instructors for reloading, we also have reloading benches set up for people who want to reload but for whatever reason can’t do it at their residence. Many people learn how to reload on their own, or are blessed to have a tutor. It makes sense people want to become knowledgeable, self reliant, prepared for any problem or emergency.  We have many books on reloading and offer classes as well. If you get stumped or have a question, bring it to us and we will work on it together.

Contact us if you are interested in either personal protection or reloading classes.

A lack of ammo in America, could it happen again?
