Reloading is harder than it used to be

[bruceflinch]

Maybe I'm just getting older (53 on Sunday) Wednesday night, I loaded 500 rounds of .45 on the 650, so I could then convert it to 9mm. I used case lube on about the last 300.

Turkeyday, I woke up w/ a stiff arm. Had to eat a lot to keep it mobile. Still a little sore this AM. Only loaded about 60 rounds of 9mm test ammo. Should be ok to load some 9's tomorrow.

Just wait! Ask me how I know?

It could be that too.

I am also noticing that I can't focus on sights and target like I used to be able to.
I'm pretty sure that it's the edges of the sights that are all getting worn fuzzy.
I think I am going to have a gunsmith sharpen up the edges of my sights for me.

Look at the bright side, at least it won't cost you as much in booze to drink her beautiful.

You ain't kidding, I feel the same way.

53 huh -- wait 22 more , Next year I can say 76 ! Thats the spirit! I only load 100 at a time now -- but do have the luxury of taking all day if I want --

There are two important things to remember as you get older. DANG! What was I gonna say?

[ZombieKiller]

You poor old fellas.....send me the gear immediately. I do not want forum members to injure themselves for a few measly rounds. I will be sure to crank lots of ammo for you.

How about some of these Young C.G. pups, adopt an older C.G. dog to go under their wing. We can teach them reloading, gun maintenance, the finer points of shooting our guns & living a good life. In return, the young can do our reloading, clean our guns & drive us to the range.. But the young men will have to stay away from our Daughters!

The older I get, the better I used to be......

Yeah, getting old is no fun. What I've noticed is the world is getting darker. It used be a lot lighter everyplace - now I'm thinking of wearing a headlamp anytime I'm indoors!

That works for me. Where can I get a youngin' to train? I don't care if it's a male or female as long as it listens to me. Anyone want to volunteer? I've got to unload a powder magazine from my truck today and could use a strong back and a weak mind.

I'm still beat from loading 300ish rounds of .410, on a MEC JR, Thanksgiving night. 6 pulls per shell sucks but, I don't reload enough .410 to justify a new progressive press.

It won't help Randall. I figured out that it's the air pollution, there's so much crap in the air that everything is starting to look fuzzy.

That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

And, it's all due to global warming! I'm sick of the air being so think that I can't see my front sight without these new fangled special shooting specticals the doctor gave me. She said that I should wear them all the time so, I'd be used to them when I shoot. Why did Al Gore have to invent the internet and Global Warming?

These little pocket led flashlites are a godsend!
