Stockpile of Supplies

I'm reletively new to reloading and am interested in buying in bulk for cost savings and fear of future legislation; and plan to reload for 9mm, .40, .380. .357, .30-06, 35 Whelen, etc. and would like feedback on primer brands and types and suggestions on brands to buy, sizes and suggestions on where to buy in 1000 brick sizes. Same with brass, powder etc. Also, suggestions for long-term storage. Thanks in advance.

    Some general guidelines:

    Store powder and primers where it is cool and dry, left sealed in original containers.

    A one-year supply of everything at your usual rate of shooting is about average. A two-year supply might be prudent in times like this. Anything more than that is hoarding (in MY OPINION) and is harmful to every other shooter who wants/needs to buy supplies.

    I can't advise on the "best" powders and primers because only experimentation with YOUR guns will disclose that. But following the load manuals' suggestions for "most accurate" or "best load" would be a great place to start experimenting.
    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    As far as buying in bulk right now, get what you can while you can, wherever you can find it [;)] Everything is still in short supply.
