Have you ever reloaded so much that . . . .

[dmftoy1]

You had to get out and do some shooting so that you had room in the cabinets, and something to do the next time the in-laws visited? About 2 weeks ago I realized that I had reloaded almost everything I had and my gun safe was packed chock full to the roof with reloads . . .I've been shooting 100 rounds a day (mininum) and now I'm finally back to equilibrium.

(I like to keep enough unloaded brass around so that when the in-laws visit for a week I can kill a night or two hiding down at my reloading benc)

Have a good one,

I usually do that thru the winter, get everything reloaded and ready for the warmer weather. Then I dont have to reload as much thru the summer.

I think what happened this year is that it has stayed cold too long ..normally i'd have been shooting a little earlier and when it's cold I tend to reload instead of shooting. The good news is that I've got a couple of calibers that are down a bit so I can avoid the in-laws.

Have a good one,

Well if you cannot get out to shoot you can always buy more brass


Thats what I do

When I got my first 550B about 9yrs ago, I reloaded so much I grew a huge blister in the center of my right hand, golf ball sized. Since then, I keep about 300 each of various rifle cals loaded and about 3 mil sup ammo boxes loaded for all the pistol cals. Shy of that, I reload about 2 nights a week. I learned my lesson, that blister made life difficlut.

Getting blisters?? Two words "roller handle"

Yea, I figured that one out, I have the roller on one of the 550s. But I still like the feel of the old standard.

Another option Ive done on a Lee press was to remove the factory ball and install an old billiard ball. Fills the hand much better and is much more comfortable.

I have been using the fingerless padded palm glove with my Hornady LnL. Recently added .45 to my arsenal and have developed a bit of tendonitis on the right forearm just above the wrist. Not sure if it's from reloading or shooting. I'm playing through the pain.

I did need to buy an additional 2,000 cases from Cheyene Brass. Good product, price and delivery.

DMFToy1,
It's a great problem to have heh? I just ran out of boxes for my .38 Special "bunny farts"...time to break out the zip-lock bags...or maybe grab some more ammo boxes at Cabela's.
I imagine I'll have 2-3k loaded up before long...no need in waiting 'til I need the ammo.

Yup, it was sooooo cold here last weekend that I loaded up all the .45LC brass I had laying around. I'm hoping it gets over 35 today so I can do some shooting!!

Have a good one,
