I keep at least 1000 per hunting caliber if it's something I use on hogs. Deer only, maybe just 200-300. I probably won't load again in my life for some calibers.
Loaders/reloaders???

After reading a bunch of the political posts on here today, I recommend you load as much as possible in all calibers.
That is my favorite thing to plink with. I have a 6" Colt official police that is incredibly accurate.
My service weapon was a S&W Model 15 loved those guns. It had a 4"bull barrel. My best Yearly qualifying score was a 300 w/ a 26X. Four short of perfect (300 w/ 30x)
Very nice. I have a model 64 police turn in, really smooth action in it as well.

Barney's gun was a 4-inch Official Police!
I have more bullets.

The model 10, 12, and 64 is one of the best handguns of all time! They are extremely reliable, very accurate, and a naturally pointing very well balanced revolver. I own a model 10 4 inch, a model 10 six inch, and a model 12 4 inch. I believe 148-152 grain full wadcutters are the best all around ammo for them. Have you ever shot any in yours?
I have one model 10 pencil barrel 5 screw and a 10 heavy barrel. I have shot wadcutters before, but not in a long time. My plinking loads are usually 158 gr semi-wadcutters over Accurate #2 or most recently Titegroup. I have a good local source for the 158 gr semi-wadcutters at a price that is hard to beat.

I load 100 rds at a time for several reasons. Bullets and primers using come in hundred round boxes. The powder used should all come from the same container and everything loaded at the same time. Consistency is the key to getting everything to shoot the same. If you have to set up and take down several times, you are likely to have something slightly different each time. A hundred rounds will usually last many years and maybe for life depending on your hunting lifestyle.
