Reloaders and Dyslexics Untie !

[Sungun09]

Im curious, how many of us reload ?

Rifles ?

Handguns ?

 

[cmidkiff]

I reload for bolt guns and revolvers only. I despise chasing brass around the range, and I shoot more revolvers than anything else anyway.

 

[Art Eatman]

I started reloading for the '06 in 1950, and added pistol ammo around 1966 or thereabouts. Never have loaded for shotguns.

 

[Doug b]

I started handloading in the 70's.Shot 2 boxs of factory stuff since.

 

[jfountain2]

I don't reload , yet... but I am dyslexic.

 

[Gingerbreadman]

I haven't started to reload, but I have been saving all of my 8mm Mauser brass for when I do.

 

[WayneConrad]

Rifle and handgun, but only started a few years ago.

Not lysdexic.

 

[JWarren]

I don't reload , yet... but I am dyslexic.

Ditto. On both counts.


BTW... I voted "Not Sure."

... because that cracked me up. How can you NOT be sure if you are reloading? If you aren't sure, you seriously need to step away from the reloader... NOW.

A Kaboom is in your future.

[young hunter]

rifles and handguns . Thank god my dad taught me how when i was 14 . now if only I could find 40 s&w slugs cheaper than a box of ammo at wally world .

 

[swiss7.5]

Rifles, handguns

 

[redneck2]

I can't imagine anyone that shoots very much (other than .22, 7.62x39, and maybe 9mm) that doesn't reload. I've got probably 5-8,000 empties in the reloading room right now and maybe that many more that are full.

If you don't reload, you're stuck shooting minimal amounts of boring and mundane calibers. Where are you going to find .45-3 1/4 Sharps (.45-90), .357 Herrett, .416 Rigby, etc.? Wally World never seems to have them.

 

[dagger dog]

How about the dyslexic agnostic insomniac, that stayed awake all night wondering, if there was a dog!

I wouldn't want to shoot any of his reloads!

That would be one heck of a sleepwalking episode! Wake up the next day to 1000 rounds of loaded ammo and scratch your head thinking "did I do that?"

 

[Furncliff]

Just started. The confluence of ammo prices increases and a gun show where I noticed a complete Dillon set up calling my name started the rounds rolling.

My wife told me I didn't need another hobby. I told her it was my donation to greening America Waste not, want not.

That would be the menehune, I am pretty sure about that.

I load .45 acp

I just bought a Service NM .223 so that is probably in my future as well

 

[birdbustr]

I load shotgun, rifle and pistol ammo. The only thing I don't reload that I could is my .380, but it's not something that I shoot often.

 

[Regolith]

Not yet, though I plan to eventually.

 

[Hud]

I reload 5 rifle calibers & 3 pistol calibers, and I am that other thing too (I'd rather not try to spell it ).

[Grump]

Reloading since age 17 (sneaking a few Sierra 190s into .30-06 cases over H4320 in Dad's garage...was the first), was assigned all 600 .30 Carbines for trimming and loading at age 18.

Dyslexic only verbally and on sometimes hilarious occasions. A few dyslexic friends. Favorite quote on it might have been here at THR:

"Borg am we [?]. Futility is resistant. Your ass will be laminated."

 

[Grump]

The guy who rattled this off quick might have also been dyslexic, though he was just being wise at the time:

Places to do, people to go and things to meet.

Or something like that.

 

[lee n. field]

Yes. Handgun primarily, as I don't shoot rifle all that much.

I despise chasing brass around the range,

Then you need a better behaved autoloader. My XD drops everything in a relatively small area behind me to my right.
