If given a choice if WW3 begins in our lifetime, I'd rather lug around a 12 ga sa than a boat anchor for a Terminator robot plus anti drone weapon, whatever it may be. The Ukrainian soldiers posted videos of the drones, with little effective response so far.
They basically have a devastating effect on morale and cut across lines with little resistance. Every battlefield will eventually deploy them and the Slaughter bots IMHO.

Best quality I've heard. The choice of many pro competitors.
If worse case scenario happens like it came closest to when JB started war with the bear, I think it's something most men should consider since it will likely come to our soil . No doubt Chinese soldiers are already here awaiting activation. They have control of east, west ports and the Panama canal already before a shot has been fired. One can only imagine how many shipping containers have unlimited supplies and resources for their companies.
I have some 22 KHornet brass that I've loaded maybe 5 or 6 times. I have some 38 special brass that I've loaded at least that many times. I'm on either my third or maybe fourth time on some of my 308 brass. 45 Colt, the same.
I recently started annealing some of the Hornet and some 6.5 Swedish that I've had for a bunch of years.

I have the dies, and over 1000 bullets and probably 500-600 cases ready to load, but I don't reload the 9mm at this time, because I can still buy new ammo for about $11 a box. I'm holding my reloading supplies in reserve for "a rainy day" so to speak.
I do reload for my .45 ACP, but I also buy new ammo when I catch a sale. Most other ammo is just too expensive to buy for range time.
Check online at the prices for .45 Colt, or .357 ammo... almost $1 per round. Rifle ammo is about the same for the FMJ blasting ammo, and over $1 per round for hunting stuff.

As an update.... I read an article about the Lake City ammunition plant that supplies nearly all our military ammo.... as we speak, they are adding a 450,000 sq ft facility that is specifically for the manufacturing of the new 6.8 x 51 ammo. They will make everything in-house.
The report says that SIG will supply our military with loaded ammo for about 2-3 years, until the LC facility is up and running.
So, this cartridge/rifle changeover is a very real thing. The report says this is the first "new" cartridge that the LC facility has loaded in more than 65 years.
This cartridge is essentially, ballistically, a 270 Weatherby Magnum, in a shorter action, autoloading rifle.
