I started reloading when the kids came along. Although time is short, money is even in shorter supply, so it's out of necessity.
I can't tell you how many thousands of .45s I pounded downrange and never collected the brass before that, and not a minute goes by at the press without me thinking about it :banghead:
Now its amazing how the mayo and pickle jars of primed brass are piling up, and the dies seem to be multiplying in their "cool dark place". What a great hobby, money saver, and great way to de-stress. Now I can show up with triple the ammo I used to for a range trip, great feeling.
Anyway, I had nobody to show me the ropes, and managed to get by thanks to some helpful folks here like HSMITH, caz223(sp?), and The Bushmaster whose posts and answers to my n00b questions helped immensely.
Mucho appreciated guys.
