I can't be the only one. I was just commenting on the "Hungry Handgun" thread and many of the responses to the ammo shortage is that you should reload. A few years back I would have agreed with that. I had a full Dillon 550B setup with caliber conversions, dies, brass, powder, bullets, primers and all the accoutrements you need to reload. I worked up loads for 45acp and 357 Mag and pumped out a number of rounds to shoot.
The funny thing is, the more I did it the more I hated it. Found that I just don't have the personality for it. I was bored and more then a little bit frustrated with the slow process. I wasn't as meticulous as I should be as I wasn't having fun with it. Then I hit the range one day and had a squib with one of my reloads. That's when I realized it was time to get out of the game. Luckily it was a squib and not a double powder load. To dangerous not to be enjoying yourself.
I kept the gear for a "Just in Case" scenario, but finally decided to sell the whole reloading setup lock stock and barrel. Made all my money back and made an 18 year old kid, who bought it, very happy. To each their own.
Life's too short to spend a lot of time doing something you hate.
