Yeah, same story as with my revolvers... I need more cases. And, when I get those cases, I feel it necessary to clean them - and load them! But... how much is enough?
Here is an example: I have ~600 rounds of .38 Special 158gr LSWC on my 'ready' shelf. I also have ~1,200 cleaned empties begging to be reloaded. Did I mention 16 boxes of assorted .38 reloads in a .50 cal can downstairs? I have a 2" M10 - that is my .38 collection. My .357's use down loaded Magnum cases... never mind how many of those I have reloaded. Then you have my .44 Russian, Specials, and Magnums as well as the .45 S&W and Colts... thousands of reloads! I even found more .45 ACP & AR reloads, and I sold my 625 last spring (I have a replacement on order - finally!).
The sickness exemplifies itself in my range trips. When I go to the range, it seems to be for the very purpose of making reloading cases. Never mind finding revolver brass there, they are all bottom-feeder types there. I even find myself looking for reloading goodies at shows. It is horrible. I'd give more examples, but my modified .32-20 cases for my 1895 Nagant should be clean now... gotta go reload them!
