I have a serious problem -- please help

[afrancke]

Can I kick this addiction? Please tell me there is hope for me to lead a normal life.

Load a bunch of it - rifle brass specifically - and it will either cure you of picking up random range brass, or it will confirm your habit forever. In my experience, I'd rather have nice new or previously factory-loaded brass fired from my rifle to start with - I'm going to invest a massive amount of time prepping it, so I don't want to do it with a grab bag of headstamps and conditions.

You left the calibers that you don't load? Sounds like you have your "problem" better under control than I do.

Agreed, all I have is a .40 and 30-30 yet I have .38, .357, .375 h&h, .45 brass as well.

I once bought a 30/30 rifle because I picked up two boxes of once fired brass at the range.

I remember you saying this a few years ago. I started saving 30-30 brass since & now I own a 30-30 rifle. Frank, You are an Enabler!

[Beelzy]

Nope, Brass Whore covers it......you do it because you love it.

You must have been thinking of Brass Slut.........that's next. Lol!

The only cure for Stilly is that if I get there first. Then I got to buy more pins

I once sucked up 53.5 lbs of brass one day at the range. Sure most of it was 9mm and 40 but I had a lotta 38, 45, 44, 45lc, and .223 too OH and a few 10mm also. Damn it was heavy too. SO glad I brought my new canvas bag with me that day. I think it filled in about a third of the 5 gal bucket. I actually sorted it out right then and there cause I really wanted them 10mm out of there and I did not wanna wade through 80 lbs of 40 to find a few 10mm.

Have some prOn...

Now that's a reloader buying a gun because of scrounged brass!

[Dutch3]

I have actually purchased dies and loaded ammo in calibers for guns I do not own, just because I had picked up a bunch of brass.

Now I need to buy the guns. It truly is a sickness, but I'm not complaining.

Could be metal illness

[randomBytes]

OP, are you implying whores cannot like shiny things? That could get you in trouble...
Before I took the plunge and got a press, I collected only 9mm - what I use most and figured I'd eventually reload.
Now I collect brass for guns I don't have (yet).

[BigBronco]

OP wordy not. The left wing Democratic party is working tirelessly to solve your sickness.

[emptybottle151]

Its ok to pick up brass of calibers that you don't shoot, as long as you process and trade them here.

[stilly]

My philosophy is simple, grab it all, and trade what you do not use for what you want later on. So I am always trading away 45LC and 38SPL for stuff as well as 9mm. 9mm is so all over the place with me that I think I will start using it to make macaroni art on the fridge...

I picked up a bunch of .44 Mag in anticipation.
