Too many bullets, too little time...
At last count I have these bullets stocked up:
1. 110 or so 200 grain SST's
2. 50 185 grain Lehigh's
3. 120 or more 200 grain XTP's
4. 50 250 grain Gold Dots/Deep Curls
5. 60 240 grain Cheap Shots
6. a few 195 grain Dead Centers
7. a few 225 grain Powerbelts
And three rifles, 1 a virgin:
1. .45 CVA Hunterbolt with glass bedding and free-floated barrel
2. .50 cal CVA Wolf
3. .50 cal Knight Vision
And the sad thing is, I won't be able to shoot at all until the week of October 2. And even then I will probably only have about 2 hours of range time to sight in the Virgin Vision, and play around with loads for the Wolf. I have the Hunterbolt dialed in pretty good, so it will sit this one out. Like Tom Petty sings, "And the waiting, is the hardest part..."

I've got a hugh number of bullets also, and a pretty good variety - Speers, XTP's,
Shock Waves, Great Plains, Sierras, cast Lees, some Powerbelts, and probably a thousand or so cast balls. A lot of them I came by as part of a package deal when buying a used gun. But these days the only bullets I lay out cash for are Deep Curls and .40/200 grain XTP's. When I'm hunting it's either a Deep Curl, XTP, or a home cast ball.

I can relate. We have an uncharacteristically HUGE bedroom closet for the size of our house. It is mostly mine. I have my fishing rods hanging from the ceiling, shelving full of hunting and fishing stuff, built my reloading bench in there, have the gun safes, and enough weight in ammo cans that I cannot believe our flooring is still intact.

Wow- Chetmarks you own a gun store? Because I think your shelf has more muzzy projectiles than the store I go to....
