Thanks bds

You are very welcome.

I recently made the excuse that my daughter needed a bigger caliber rifle.....but honey I can reload for it.

When you spend more money on brass to reload than actual factory loaded ammo!

 

[sage5907]

You know you're a reloader when you can remember the case trim length for every cartridge you own but you can't remember your wife's cell phone number. Shooter

Get all gitty when a big box o brass shows up for you in mail, or go to the range and hit mother load.

When you scrounge and amass about 18 5 Gallon buckets of wheel weights and STILL Dig lead out of the berm and the trees/logs when you are done shooting.

to Howard J:

My wife cleaned my desk at work a couple of years ago. I couldn't find anything for weeks!

HOWARD, that is some super duper powder hopper attachment you have there! How many pounds does that hold?

 

[HOWARD J]

I put the coffee can up for your benefit--I thought you might need an extra

1) After firing at a target, you retrieve your brass before even looking if you hit your target.

2) When you visit a tire shop, you go there not to have your car serviced.

3) When you are at the range, you have 5x more ammo than the person next to you.

I got you all beat,
When you never throw away the Red Plastic Folgers Coffee Cans Because you might need them for the next cartridge you adopt.

Already got them labelled and waiting

You Know you Are a Reloader When

You don't consider this to be too much of a good thing:

 

[dagger dog]

When you aquire so many reloading manuals you have to buy a third book shelf.

When you always run out the black ink cartridge first , 'cause you print so much load data.

When you spend 2 hours going through your back issues of Reloader looking for that article on the new powder you just started loading.

When your friends at work give you that "deer in the head lights" stare when you rattle on about the best twist ratio or bullet seating depth.

When the bottom shelves your benches have lead ingots or bullets stored on them, to keep them from being top heavy

 

[Cleftwynd]

You don't consider this to be too much of a good thing:

The motherload! Would be nice if it was in more than one or two cartridges!

 

[armarsh]

You know you are a reloader when this is what you call a box of bullets.

 

[jmorris]

When your kids are named "brass" and "sorter".

 

[Madpap]

When you spend 30 minutes looking for that .03 primer you dropped
When you start buying 5 gallon buckets because Folgers won't
When you save those 2 or 3 pieces of bent brass for no reason
Not to mention the plastic primers come in just in case you find a use for them

 

[EVIL]

When you know the exact weight of lead that will fit in any sized USPS flat rate mail package ...

 

[MachIVshooter]

When you don't even have to think about buying any bullet, primer or powder you see on clearance because you know you can use it.

 

[flyskater]

- When you shoot you dig them from the sand backstop, reload them and shoot them again.
- You're the only one at the range with a net.
- You stand behind someone with a net to catch their brass

 

[vito]

When you find you no longer enjoy shooting but go to the range just to have a reason to reload.
