Chicken or the Egg

[1SOW]

Started so I could afford to shoot more. I found I enjoy time at the reloading bench, especially in developing new pistol loads for my guns.
Instead of just shooting more, I shoot A LOT more now that I'm fully retired.I've developed a liking for doing my own minor gunsmithing, so the feeling of MY gun, My load and MY shooting is satisfying---most of the time.

Do you reload so that you can shoot more or do you shoot so that you can load more?

well, I started reloading so I could shoot more.
But I have had a set or two of dies foller me home for which I had no gun.
(the guns were purchased very quickly)
I think I like reloading as much as I like shooting.

I do not handload - not enough patience I guess.
