On the firing line
You have more reloading components - including a bag full of 30 cal tracers - than pens on your desk.

You're an even bigger gun nerd if you can identify all four rounds and the two casings under my monitor. :bootyshake:
 


I'm gonna go for the ultimate nerd and answer (from right to left); 30.06, .308, 7.62x39, .223/556 (next: same), and finally far left .45 cal. Where's my fuckin prize?
 
Wow reminds me of this vid where they blast at night and the tracers are wild !

Have 4 right. 1 close, and the other way off.

30.06, 7.5x55 Swiss, 308, 223, 223, 45

The Swiss is almost identical to the 308, but the case is just a hair longer and the shoulder is steeper and shallower.

Yeah, I never heard of that round (not that it might not be common, I'm just more into the populated rounds for obvious reasons). It def does look like a 308 though.

Are you paying 2-4x the prices for your reloading supplies (primers, powder, etc) or did you see this day coming and buy in advance?
 
Can't say I saw this day coming, but I do have stockpile of 30.06, 7.5 Swiss, and pistol brass. Plus another 400 rounds of 30.06 coming from the CMP for cheap.

I haven't had a real problem finding components. Bullets yes, but only the really popular ones like Matchking 168gr. If you're shooting 150gr soft points, you can still find those easy. As for powder, I haven't looked recently.
