    Excitement

    Struggled all my life. In a sense I finally won the lottery. But it was no accident, it was blood sweat and tears all the way. So deprived for years and I now see all these handloading toys at my disposal. I'm freaking out though maybe in a good way. I enjoy this hobby. It gives me great pleasure.

    I'm trying not to go overboard ... but oh I'm lovin' the toys. Maybe it's an addiction but on the scale of 1 to 10, ten being bad for you, I don't think it is.

      Just don't give us a reason to call you "lefty". Be careful, have fun!
      Always looking for vintage Winchester and Marlin lever action rifles. Looking to sell? Know of one for sale? Drop me a line!

        Naw. Highly conservative. But yes, having tons of money sucks. Then again, the government graciously takes more than its fair share and I just get the leftovers.

          South paw, they say they are smarter. Would be after the *bang* for sure. Hope the enthusiasm keeps being sustained. I would like to relate to that eventually.

            Tell me about it. I keep tripping over the bags in the garage, and the rats are nesting in some of the ones at the bottom of the pile.

                I started reloading mid 90s and got caught up in it. I now reload for all of my centerfire calibers and have for 15-20 years or so.

                Newly retired, it is a great hobby with endless recipes and range experiments. I stocked up on components back when they were much more affordable than today's prices so I'm good for many, many years.

                  I enjoy reloading. I’m very meticulous about how I load but I have friends that are not. I don’t like shooting other peoples reloads. My buddy only reloads when he’s drunk. His ammo is a mess, all mixed up and half the time he doesn’t remember how potent the round is. This is for a 500sw. We were shooting it and and and guess he didn’t put powder in so the bullet got stuck in the barrel. He tried to get it out but ended up sending it in to smith. He bag was full of random ammunition and he would pull one round out and go, oh man you gotta try this!

                    I think you need a different shooting buddy.

                      Wait a few years and see how much $ you'll be saving when the ammo prices go up. You'll be glad you invested in reloading!
