You know reloading is a disease when....

[Getssum96]

...You ordered 500 rounds of .357 at what is an excellent price these days, and when you get them and open the box you check the head stamp and they're all STARLINE brass!

Sometimes it's the little things that make it great!

[ExtremeX]

I think it might be more of a disease when I get bent out of shape and frustrated that my shell backed out a little bit and the hornady LNL powder dropper with the PTX decided to fall on top of it and then since I am going too fast to notice I pull the handle down on the Lee Turret and it takes a bite of the brass and then I spend the next 6 minutes trying to fix it with needle-nosed pliers and then finally get pissed and throw it in the scrap bucket before going over to the bin with 50+ lbs of .45 brass and getting another .45 shell to load...

LOL

You know reloading is a disease when you tell your friends you are going to throw a brass sorting party and none of them care to reload or really want to help you sort brass.

I do plan to buy pizza and beer…

[kygen]

pizza, beer, and brass sorting? im in

[ExtremeX]

[stilly]

Do I get to keep what I sort?




(still afflicted I think...)

[csburtch]

You know it's a disease when you have powder on order and don't have a clue when it will come in. But the day it does will be like Christmas morning when you were a kid.
BTW brass sorting party? Good idea!

You know it's a disease when you just finished loading 500 rounds of a caliber you don't have, but someday you might!

You know reloading is a disease when, you collect brass for calibers you plan to own.

You know reloading is a disease when, you don't care that reloading saves money per round, you just like doing it.

You know reloading is a disease when, you own firearms that have never fired a factory round.

You know reloading is a disease when, you know the cost per round to the tenth of a cent.

You know reloading is a disease when, you buy factory rounds you make sure the brass is reloadable.

You know reloading is a disease when, you know the difference between boxer and burdan primers.

Wait... I thought the others are ill. (or maybe just lazy and... )

I load up ammo for cartridges I have no weapons for:

.357 Sig, 30'06, 10mm and 6.8 SPC, just because I got good deals on components and dies aways back.

You know reloading is a disease when, you accidently drop some primers from a sleeve and you spend a ridiculous amount of time to find every single one of those evasive buggers.

You know reloading is a disease when, you go thought reloading withdrawals.

You know reloading is a disease when, you feel like reloading is more fun than shooting.

I am about to do this myself, I picked up some 45 GAP brass at the range and was going to reload it just because I can with all my 45 ACP dies and components. You will probably see me post a thread in a few weeks asking for tested recipes because I have no way to test, any test loads.

[SonofWWIIDI]

When you constantly think about what gun you're going to buy, so you can finally use those dies sitting on the shelf.

[Capt.Dunsel]

you know reloading is a disease when you build a modified shotshell reloader to hold a 10 lb keg of powder and 100 lbs of shot so you don't have to stop , then try and design the same for your other presses ( one for each of the calibres you reload all 18 of them)

you know reloading is a disease when you but dies , brass , powder and lead
before you buy the gun.

you know reloading is a disease when your mail carrier , UPS and Fed X person knows you on a first name basis and names you in their workers comp case as the reason they got injured.
