    That sounds kinda dirty...

    It was a fun evening. 2 Men & a Woman in the ManCave. & we were all finished up, w/ the evidence put away before Wifey came home. .

    OHOD had the patience of the Pope. Outstanding job!
    Actually I only started collecting Milsurps 3 years ago. I think I might own about 24...They're cheaper than guns that will most likely never get the opportunity to kill somebody...

    I belong to the group that uses firearms, and knows which bathroom to use.

    Tis better to have Trolled & lost, Than to never have Trolled, at all.

      Congrats!
      It's kinda fun eh?

      BTW, I popped the cherry on .38sp a few months back as well - something about that caliber.

        You still have a nervous, trembling moment ahead of you...
        when you first drop the hammer on your own reload.
        Likely you will squeeze your eyes shut and hope for the best.
        Big happy moment ahead when you realize that both you and your gun are still in one piece.

          Awesome, nothing quite like reloading. Sometimes it's more fun than shooting.

            Wait....let me think about that for a moment.....





            I actually cannot wait to go to the range!!
            I'm gonna shoot all of them.
            Some from my revolver and some from my lever action rifle.
            Should be cool.
            Planning on a range day next week, Wednesday.

            How do I know I have good loads?


            I know if they go bang and hit the target I'm good, but what would be a reasonable evaluation for a newbe reloader, other than accuracy?

              Consistency on target.
              Congrats on your 'drug' habit!
              With all this "gun control" talk, I've not heard one politician say how they plan on taking guns from criminals, just law abiding Citizens.

                You have no freaking idea... This just a start.

                Soon you will have boxes of boolits. Many, MANY boxes of boolits. Cast boolits for target shooting. JHP for this, FMJ for that. Heavy bullets, light bullets. THEN ya start adding calibers to your repertoire.

                And powder. You will accumulate many pounds of powder. "Let's try this." "That sounds interesting." "Oh! They have my brand. Better get some. It might not be there when I need it." "OH! I already have 5 pounds of this. Oh well. Now I have six."

                Primers. You can spot the loaders who went through The Great Primer Drought of '09. People will call you a hoarder.

                Unless you want to start running your ammo over a chronograph, accuracy is it. That, and presence of the same numbers of fingers and eyeballs you started with.

                You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
                You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."
