You know reloading is a disease when....

[Stoopy]

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

So true. Is that an English mastiff in your profile pic?

[Timberwolf]

WHen you instnctively know what headstamp your firearm likes or what year of a certain type brass is netter than others.

When you know that certain brass likes certain powder/primer combinations.

When you pray for a rainy weekend so you have an excuse to fully prep the brass you've been neglecting.

When you feel guilty when you don't fully prep your brass before you load it.

WHen you develop superstitious rituals that you do each time your reload.

You know reloading is a disease when....
you spend hours at the pistol range with only a box of shells,
stalling and hoping for an epic brass-whoring day.

Yes sir. And your are among the first to make that very critical distinction. There are many different types of Mastiffs. The Old English are as gentle as lambs. That boy in the photo checked in at 230lbs. and was afraid of those yappy purse dogs. He's gone now, but he will be remembered by all who had the joy of meeting him. The good news is that we have two of his brothers and mom. They are just big ole dinosaurs of a dog.

Mine is laying next to my bed snoring right now! They really are gentle giants, and mine is also a big sissy.

You said it all

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.

You know reloading is a disease when your having a conversation with your wife and she says she would be traveling for her new job, the first thing that pops in your head is "I heard those gun shops had powder! I bet she could pick some up when she's there!"

You know reloading is a disease when you go wandering through the brass at the range, find 10 pcs of 6.8 spc that someone didn't pick up and THAT makes your weekend.

We need therapy...

You know reloading is a disease when ou have elevated levels of lead in your blood stream....

Oh wait...I don't think I played this game right, do I get a redo?

[csburtch]

Admitting it is the first step...
2. Gather spent brass
3. Sort
4. Decapping
5. Tumble

Oh crap! There I go again...

[Dark Mod]

You try to pay for your night out with brass. When the waitress says she doesnt want it, you give her a weird look and ask if she knows how much this stuff is worth.

[yellowfin]

When you spend more time cleaning and trimming brass than you do cleaning your own house.

[punkur67]

When you blast away more ammo than you need just so you have more to reload.
