---I am pretty ruthless with myself about owning reloading stuff for cartridges I don’t have an interest in. No need. Trade fodder. But if I think I may one day have a gun in that caliber.... especially if it’s something weird... I’m saving it for sure.
I think maybe you just defined the difference between collecting and accumulating. Accumulating is, it's cool so you bought it thinking you may use it someday, maybe. Collecting is, you needed it once or a few times and used to use it but don't anymore but it's still useful and you may need it again someday, maybe. Accumulating is collecting things because you can, not because you need them. I think maybe a lot of us do both with different kinds of stuff. My wife has classic old treadle and hand-crank Singer sewing machines she hardly ever used and probably won't ever again but they're so cool, and it took her so long to find the ones she wanted, she doesn't want to get rid of them. I completely understand.
