Some peoples reloading math is retarded

[LSUTiger]

I don't reload, it's totally not worth it for me. If you reload then good for you!

However there is one reloading fallacy that I continually hear from reloaders that perplexes me and that is the is the reloader math when it comes to the implied reloader claims of being able to reload to infinity with finite resources.

The implication being that reloaders are better off because they reload in terms of being able to have perpetual ammo during hard times vs those who don't reload.

Example:

I have 1000 rounds of factory ammo. Therefore, I have 1000 rounds, ready for use and easily portable.

A reloader has 1000 rounds worth of reloading components. Therefore he has the potential to have 1000 rounds. They are not ready for use and not easily portable.

In ammo shortages (where surplus components either scarce or nonexistent because they are going to supply factor ammo manufacturing) and a problem arises, it comes down to preparedness and what you have on hand.

You can only reload with components you have on hand. I can shoot only what I have on hand. You can rely only with what you have on hand being the lesson. Be prepared and plan ahead.

Reload if it's worth it to you but don't buy into the fallacy that reloading = perpetual ammo in hard times.
