Non-reloaders... read

[Mike Irwin]

Hey Chris,

Why don't you let the little one go "free range?"

That way you'd have more money to spend on powder and bullets...

But, your carpet cleaning bills would be horrendous.

It's too bad baby guano doesn't have similar characteristics as bat guano. That could cut down on his component costs.

I don't reload because I'm worried about powder getting on things even after everything is put away. I would like a more dedicated area than what I have available now.

I've not found the powder to be a problem. I do, however, find the spent primers to be a problem. The Lee Turret Press doesn't handle spent primers all that well, and a lot of them end up on the floor, only to be found when I go to the basement in my bare feet to put laundry in the washer...

OUCH!! I have had an embedded primer in the foot more than once ... can be painful.

Here's Mike .. with both feet well ''impregnated'' with primers (open-side up - they always sit open side up!!) ........

I too have had to hunt down the elusive spent primer when it escapes my Lee turrent press... it is amazing how far they can roll.

reloading

I started about two years ago, initially for 9mm. Now I'm doing .45, .38,.357, .32, .223, .30 carbine, .303, and .30.06. Will also get a set of dies for 8mm, 7.62x54, and 7.62x25 as they show up on auction sites. My reloads are all I shoot anymore. I want to have the control/capacity to shoot even if the winds of politics change in the future. This surplus ammo will not last forever.
