I hope not, I don’t need lots of stuff I have.
Collated case and bullet feeders just make things so simple. All you have to do is watch everything happen and stroke the handle.
Have to agree. There isn't anything about reloading I need.....it's all pure and simple "want"! My wife says, irrational want.......kind of like her infinitely revolving 20 plus pairs of shoes, and yards and yards of quilting material she's going to use.....someday!
When I first bought my Pro 2000 press (with no feeders), I thought I would never have a need or want for feeders. That ended when I found that my pea brain had a hard time juggling all the procedures (six with every pull counting primer inserts) all occurring at once. First came the Hornady bullet feeder....for speed? Nope for one less thing to juggle. Then I started working on building a case feeder. I didn't think I needed one, I just love to tinker....my favorite hobby (reloading/shooting is second) and people said my press couldn't use a case feeder and I thought I'd be fun to see if I could prove them wrong.......so I did.....and it was.
You know what I found out? I didn't care that it made loading faster (although it did), I found out I could finally just focus on the one most important part of reloading that might keep me safe......powder. No more spreading my concentration thin between all the steps......just make sure the powder is dropped in the proper amount for each and every case. The rest, the automation takes care of.....and reloading became funner and more simplified and I feel much safer.
Boats? Thank goodness I have neither the need nor a want for one of those money pits. When I was young I wanted an airplane..........came to me senses before I got to the stage of buying......those are the #1 money pit.
I found a cheaper yet adequate outlet for adrenaline highs......motocross. Got over that too with age.
So now with only tinkering, shooting and reloading hobbies, I can afford 2 singles and 2 progressive presses (all green), and the goodies to make them safer in spite of the inevitable constant in my life.....birthdays....69 and counting.
