I got bitten by the reloading bug because I wanted something to keep me busy after work than sitting around watching tv and I also got into a local gun club and wanted more and better ammo for my 223 and 9mm. well I started with dies, cheap scale, barrowed press, and range brass. I liked doing it so I went in head first. I got 3 223 powders, different primers, LCT press, lyman digital scale, built a bench, got 9mm, 44mag dies, built bins for more brass and purchased a lot of brass and primers.
it was pretty fun working up loads with the different 223 powders, trying primers, and squeezing every bit of accuracy out of my rifle. I got so excited I even got a higher end scope for the rifle.
well...I haven't touched my reloading stuff since maybe june/july. I got a 44 rifle and found a sweet load right off the rip so stopped. still haven't loaded the 100 cases I have for it cause I forgot to write down the load.
found 2 sweet loads for the 223 and forgot to write that down again. its like I got bored with it. it wasn't challenging anymore. I found loads that worked and the plan was load the 500 cases of 223, 100pc 44mag and 1k 9mm. now that hunting seasons coming up I wont have time to do any reloading until hunting seasons done and its too cold to go outside.
part of me says I got in too deep keep the stuff and part of me says well you tried it and it failed so sell everything after you make enough ammo to get by with your hunting needs.
I honestly don't know why I just up and quit. it was like one day okay I have loads that work for everything except 9mm which I'm a little scared to even start loading so I just stopped for some reason.
