nope just a bag of 100 pcs ....lol . but I did buy some other stuff.
I have spent my weeks lunch money on primers. I can remember at least 3 loads for each of my favorite guns off the top of my head, but I need a list for more than 3 things at the grocery store. I always remember to buy reloading components so I don't run out but I can't remember to buy gas for the lawn mower.
I have the same problem, and I think there is no cure. I have also trained anyone who goes shooting with me, that if they shoot my weapons, they make the rounds up and down the lanes and check the brass buckets for me. And the ground gets the same treatment! Bring me brass, bitches!!

I got into 44 Magnum and 32 S&W because I had brass and dies and wanted to try it out.
I found a big yellow Diesel gas can at a house I was cleaning out and immediately planned to buy a Diesel tractor to use it with. Top that!

Yeah, I'm right there with you folks. I bought a Hornady LNL AP and have been ITCHING to load more .45 ACP. I've owned it literally a week and already loaded 652 cases with it. The sad thing is, last Sunday I went and shot and got home and started working with it IMMEDIATELY!!! I tumbled my brass for an hour and that is about how long it took me to clean and put the handgun away and put my SD ammo back in it.
Then I went to Cabelas and spent 300$ on reloading components because I ran out of Large Pistol Primers and Large Rifle Primers and bullets for the Remmy 700.
All I have to say is, thank God for Cabelas having a large stock of Rainier Plated 230gr RN bullets otherwise I'd be going CRAZY.
I'm already itching, having 551 loaded .45 rounds just isn't enough. I want to reload more!!!!!

I have a similar problem. For some reason, I don't like having unloaded brass laying around. I keep powder, primers and bullets on hand, so brass is usually the limiting factor. If I have it, I feel like it should be loaded up.

I feel your pain. I'm taking my hand truck to the post office this afternoon to pick up 10,000 bullets.

Oh yeah, In the post office the girl there told me she is canceling her health club membership next week. Said she gets more than enough weight training lifting my boxes all the time that are as heavy as lead. I'll have to open one and show her what I have in them.

I'm the opposite. I came into a ton of brass for free. My brother was a deputy for a while and he (with permission) picked the range they went to, so we have probably 15,000 pieces of .40 brass and 2,000 .223 brass and paid nothing. It'll be a while before it all gets loaded, but it'll be fun getting there.

I've never reloaded a round yet in my 40 trips around the sun, but lately when I go to the range I'm more interested in collecting brass than shooting because I know I'm going to start reloading in a couple of years. I tell my shooting friends to save their brass for me, any caliber, and I moon over the Midway and Midsouth Shooter's Supply master catalogs as I try to figure out what my first setup will be. And then there's the hours spent reading in this and other reloading forums...I have a bad, bad feeling about this.

I've been reading this while I wait for a reloading video on Youtube to load.

Tell me about it, I start drooling when I keep hearing of these guys getting 200+ free rounds of .357 brass. There needs to be a drool icon/smiley.

Hi. My name is Mike.
(Hello, Mike)
I am a brassrat.
(Welcome, Mike, you are amongst friends)
It has been 4 hours since my last brassrat experience.
>light applause<
I wandered the desert.
(Like the Jews?)
More like old men on Florida beaches with metal detectors.
(So, maybe...)
((It was a JOKE!))
Perhaps more like a forty-niner, picking the occasional bit from the hardscrabble, the sun bearing down mercilessly, the incessant wind taking all the moisture from my body, leaving me cracked lips, papery skin. But I had the fever. My quart Zip-Lok hung limp from my dirty fingers. The 38 special here, a 30-06 or two there, the odd clump of 44-40s. I chipped the few 45s loose from where the spring rains had washed them down from high. I followed the wash, but my eager eye was unrewarded, only teased by the pyritish glint of enameled steel and the accursed zinc. But, hiding 'neath, was a fine deposit of 9mm; over a hundred in all. My brass thirst not slaked , I climbed on, following the trail of live 22LR, until at last, just as all hope was vanishing, I topped the rise and there before me it lay, my quest, the .223 motherlode. Oh blessed golden sunshine spread across a field scattered with over 200 rounds of Lake City, intermingled with a minor vein of 308s and 40s. The debris field suggested that they'd been expended at the grand range of 15 yards. (that was not a typo) My bucket heavy, I returned to my truck whose bed floor was covered with shot up aluminum cans and brought myself back home, sated.
Next week, I promise I'll do better...
(Thank you, Mike)
...but right now I gotta go change media in the tumbler.

I'm sick
The Lord came to me in a dream and told me if I ever ran out of ammo I would die. The next day I went out and bought a brick of 22s and started teloading. When I tell people this they give a little laugh and look at me like I'm nuts. Oh, Glory be you guys seem to understand. Let none go unreloaded.

At most of the indoor ranges in my neck of the woods, when they find out you reload, the next time you turn around every piece of brass in the place is in a pile behind your bay.
One time I told them "Thanks, but I don't reload 9mm." and next thing I knew there was a pile of SORTED brass behind my bay with only .40 and .45.

On one trip to a public range I was the only one there. A big car from the 70s that I know only came with a big v8 pulled up and the driver spent about 15 minutes searching for brass at all of the shooting benches. When he left it occurred to me that the price of the gas to drive out there had to have been far more than the value of the few pieces of brass he found. Poor fella...had it bad. Perhaps some day a cure.

There was a time when I'd drive across town for a good deal on 100 rounds of brass. No more. I told a guy yesterday that I'd come when he had 500-1000 rounds to sell.
