What do you dislike about reloading?

[Otto]

I reload out of necessity….the enjoyment faded about 20 years ago. It’s sorta like working on the tractor or taking the wife out.

Would you like to edit out last phrase or want me to do it for you?

Well we know who has brass ones…

Reading through 6 pages of forum entries to realize nothing compares to hand weeding a sustenance garden as a child. That’s truly a “dislike”, but it was a necessity.

Lol, weeding by hand? Been there done that……much worse than any reloading chore

I know! Reminds me of looking for best date on packaged romaine at Costco. Scary times.

The costs, and really that is about it. At one time when done manually trimming brass just hurt due to the issues in my hands, but now that is all powered.

So costs, when you come across a bottle like this from the past it really hurts.

Trimming and knowing at some point I’m going to have to just replicate the loads I like and stop tinkering around.

^^^ This ^^^

The Giraud tri way for .223 really helped with that. For some reason I don't seem to mind trimming my precision rifle brass with Wilson trimmers though. I fully enjoy the rest of it, especially the tinkering part!

Yeppers, and when my 75-year-old prostate "interrupts" me, I have to stop whatever I'm doing at the loading bench and make a trip upstairs to the bathroom.

Not much I dislike, guess the cost but I do like reloading rifle much more then pistol.

Full disclosure, I read only pg. 1 of this thread.
I carry several 14x14" cloth mesh bags in my range bag, and police and sort my brass at the range. And range pickups (fairly rare these days) go into a plastic grocery bag.
