Reloader rant
Quick little rant. How many of you can share a similar story?
On my desert trip last weekend I went out with my father, a few of his/our work friends, his friends father and some of their church friends.
Anyways I brought almost all my guns you can see the calibers in my sig. and the other guys had mostly 22's, 308's, ARs and a few 12 gauge shotguns. My cousin who couldn't go who reloads 12g said, hey bring back all your hulls and some extra if you can. I said yea sure no problem, I reload so obviously Ill bring mine and ill get some hulls for you.
So were shooting for a few hours and it's starting to calm down and I make a call to save me all the brass I reload so I need mine. I start picking up a few cases I just fired and put them in the truck. I go load up another mag for me and one for my father. I turn around, load the mag and click off safety and am about to shoot when I see one of the guys start picking up all the brass in my area.... Ok that's fine they can keep their brass some of his were in my area so it was fine. Assuming he would just leave mine being I literally just called out that I need my/extra brass. So I'm just about to shoot and he is picking up brass right in front of me about to shoot. Ok I'll wait....
Long story short/ the trip is closing up and I start looking for mine and extra brass. The SOB scavenged 90% of the brass we ALL shot. So I'm like ok fu**er and look for what ever is left. Then I hear them talking at their truck about "yea hopefully SOON WE WILL START RELOADING"...... Your telling me you just snagged the brass I called for, that I want/need to RELOAD because I already reload, because you PLAN on reloading in a few years.... Are you kidding me?!?!
He picked up at least 5k rounds of brass/hulls and about 2k were mine alone. I was so pissed. He literally didn't bother until I called out hey save me my brass and yours if you don't want it.. He bolted to make sure he got all of it including some of mine. This guy is maybe all of 70 years old or older and PLANS on reloading. Not to offend the older reloaders here but come on if you don't reload by then, your times a bit limited now let alone when a actual reloader is there and could use it right then and kindly asked for the spend lot and to obviously leave his for him self.
I don't know it really got me that someone would literally snake brass from a reloader who doesn't even reload and be that selfish. Let alone go in front and under my muzzle to do so... And me come back almost empty handed for my cousin and his wanted hulls after he gave me a box of 12g I could shoot so I could bring him shells...
Has anyone else had something like that happen before? Sorry I just needed to vent this and hopefully get some reassurance I'm not an idiot for being kinda ticked at this.
/rant, thanks for listening
