My mom and dad taught me, many years ago, to write thank you notes when I received something from others. I did that for a long time, but in recent years, I've gotten bad about doing it. I'm trying to get back into the habit, so this is as good a place as any to begin.
Last evening I went to the range for a while to shoot some new 9mm loads I put together a week or so earlier (3.8 Universal under 125gr Speer lead bullets, which, by the way, makes for a very pleasant plinking round). As I was standing there, shooting, I realized how much I enjoyed not only shooting the ammo but how much pleasure I had in making them. Things at church have gone crazy the past few months, people a-fightin' and a-fussin' about this and that, and having a hobby where I can go in the garage and concentrate on something else besides other people's problems is wonderful.
And, when I was first making these loads, I had a couple questions about load weight, OAL length, etc. I posted the question here and within minutes had answers to my questions.
I've also reloaded .38s and .357 Magnums with similar experiences - you have all been most patient as I asked some really dumb questions (in hindsight) or made really dumb observations and comments.
Anyway, I simply want to thank all THR members, and in particular the reloaders who frequent this board and who have been patient with me and my questions. I am by no means an accomplished reloader, but I am enjoying learning the hobby. Thanks for making it more enjoyable with your patience, courtesy, and helpful guidance.
