Done reloading.... for now....

[JLDickmon]

I have a unique dilemma keeping me from reloading..

I have successfully loaded everything I have to the end of my supplies..

If I have brass, I don't have bullets.
If I have bullets, I don't have primers.
If I have primers, I'm out of powder.

If I have brass, bullets, powder and primers, I have a broken decapper...

Either it's time to shoot stuff off, or dip into the "Rainy Day" fund and buy components..

took me 30 years to get to this point, believe it or not...

I always seem to have something that I can load or at the least start to load: de-prime, swage primer pockets, size, trim, maybe prime and always a lot of cleaning many places in these processed. Sometimes I just sit around and think about what I want to try next.

But 'Done', never. Slowed down, yes.

This winter has been brutal, our range is closed all of Jan., Feb.
I have 15,000 rounds loaded, just go down in the cave now and sit and look
I have enough components for another 20,000 rounds but

I loaded 60 rounds yesterday, I went out in subzero winter freezing rain and snow today and shot 60 rounds.

I was an icecube by the time I was done. Couldn't feel my fingers. At all.

I have a one-piece cleaning rod that I was shoving down the bore every 10 shots, had a brass jag on the end, with a very sharp pointy end to put the cleaning wad on.

I shoved that right through the edge of my hand and didn't even feel it!

What we do for our hobbies.. I swear.

"our range is closed all of Jan., Feb."

This really makes me proud that I live where I do.
To shoot, I punch the button to open the garage door, walk the 30 feet or so to my pick nick table, sit down and start shooting.
I learned very quickly not to shoot from under my metal car port! Aluminum over head and asphalt at foot, what an echo!

I do have to use a 4wheeler to go to and from my target stand a hundred yards way. Yea Amarugias.

You lucky dog. At least the indor range I frequent is open all year and only 6mi away.

I cant wait for my PV order to come in on tuesday, I have 700 empty 45 cases to fill and 650 38spl cases to fill. I hate having empty brass laying around. right now, im at about 3,300 loaded rounds of 38 and 600 empty. Ive told myself I will stop picking up 38 cases once I get 4,000 total. I bought my first 45 a week ago and only have 900 pieces of brass, planning on stopping at 4,000 as well. you know what- why not just make it a nice even 5,000 for each... it doesnt stop. help me...
