Started buying the equipment last month and got everything set up. Heres what I've learned during my first 100 rounds or so.
1. OCD is almost a welcoming trait to start out with.
2. Too much free space equals more mess.
3. No matter what, you'll never have enough space...
4. That stupid piece of metal you spent $20 on is worth it's weight on gold.
5. Plug in timers are a great luxury to have for a media tumbler
6. Realize that said plug in timer has a light sensor that activates after the garage lights go out...
7. The phrase "Go by feel" is a skill never tough but only mastered when you've tossed out at least 20 pieces of brass learning the curve.
8. Your going to mangle some brass while getting your dies dialed in and even afterwords when you think there dialed in.
9. Accepting said fact...
10. No mater how unmanly it is or "wussy" wearing PPE like gloves while working will be that much more of a help to reduce your chances of lead poising.
11. Being comfortable and able to preform precise tasks wearing nitrile gloves from years of training and time spent in EMS
12. Realizing Nitrile gloves are freaking expensive.
13. Realizing the price is pretty cheap after your blue gloves are black/ gray at the end of the day.
14. Make sure you have a clock at your bench/ work station because you will lose track of all time and relative space around you.
15. That old ipod you had laying around for almost a decade makes a great work bench sound system.
16. That $28 hazmat shipping fee is a *****.
17. The local range brass is actually more cheaper then Al Gore's interweb
18. That universal deprimmer pays for it's self when you find your first berdan primer...
19. Like cooking, 9 times out of 10 prep work is the biggest pain in the ***.
20. There is nothing more rewarding then looking at a box of ammo you just kicked out for half the cost of store bought ammo/ reloads.
21. It helps to know someone who knows what there doing.
