You know reloading is a disease when....

[Lead Waster]

You know reloading is a disease when you actually try and find out who's idea it was to make small primed .45 brass so you can track him down and punch him in the face.

Or shake his hand because now you have a primer option in these primer famine days!

[chango17]

when your hobbies Include: sorting, tumbling, sizing, decapping, priming, trimming, deburring, expanding, charging, seating and crimping. Rather than just reloading.

when you spend your whole day off prepping the 1000 rounds of .45acp (LPP!!!) that just came in the mail and loading 500 (had to stop cuz I only had 500 projectiles) all on a single stage press.

when you have only been reloading a little over a year and can already relate to 85% of these

[magic32]

When you've been reloading for 4 hours straight and your back hurts and yet you talk yourself into reloading just 100 or 200 more....

When you mount your press on an antique desk, just because it's low enough for you to sit down in front of, and reload on for a longer period of time.

When you are almost out of one powder in the hopper, and you look at the scraps every handle crank and say "Just a few more to finish this off..." but it's pistol, and takes another hour, "It's now 12AM?!?!?! meh... I have to get up for work at 4...".

When you ask the people on both sides of you at the range whether they want their brass or not.

[alfred1222]

when you load more in 1 day than you can shoot in 1 month

when you go to the range and the rangemasters already have a bucket full of brass in the calibers they know you reload...

When you shoot so you can reload more

when you get scared that you no longer have the components to make 10k rounds of each caliber

when you have more powder and primers than most gun shops are legally allowed to keep on hand

[glock7]

^ this lol. That's me in a nutshell. But I'm not a hoarder. I shoot more than I hoard...

[chickenfried]

When you feel a little let down after a range trip because you recovered less of your brass than you would've liked.

[M1NM]

pizza, beer, and brass sorting? im in

Get a real greasy pizza and you won't even have to lube the brass.

[jumbopanda]

Makes me wish I had kept my Lorcin... OH the fun I could have had with H110 and the Lorcin .25 ACP...

H110 seems much to slow for .25 ACP, although I did load a couple of rounds with as much Bullseye as I could physically fit inside a case...they chronoed around 1300 fps.

[angry]

when you dig in the trash at the range looking for brass

[nothing4u]

when you decided to pick up castingboolits only to get bawk bawk bawk blocked by new bill to ban lead containing ammo.

[Hallx7]

When finding LPP in stock at Cabela's is the highlight of your month.

When you drive to 4 or 5 gun shops several times a week and finding one pound of "your" powder or 1k primers makes it all worth it.

When you bought a 44 mag today just because you wanted to have an excuse to start reloading a new caliber.

[Fishslayer]

When you spend time & effort to make a .45ACP case round again. Size, flair, size again... good.
Then it goes into a box with 50+ pounds of that same headstamp.

When you sort your 9mm into "Fed" "*Fed" "*Fed*" and "Fed NT."

When you get to your lane, find 12 pieces of .357 brass in the little barrier bin, and blast wood.

When you get to your lane, find 12 pieces of .44 Magnum brass in the little barrier bin, and blast wood despite the fact that you don't own a .44 Magnum.

When you sort .45ACP brass by flash hole size

...when you're crawling on the garage floor with a magnet trying to find stray steel pins from your tumbler.
