Anyone else think reloading is addictive?

I knocked out 150 sub sonic 165 gr loads without even realizing it! Shees!

It is. BTW, you've got some suspect primers there. When I get making .223, I can knock them out for hours on the Dillon 650. A usual session looks like this.

Twice now I've bought really nice setups to reload the calibers I shoot most. I hate it. I can't even make myself like it a little bit.

I've decided if God wanted me to reload he wouldn't have given me Winchester, Remington, Federal, Tula, etc...

I get started and lose track of time. Its an enjoyable pass time. I only have to worry about what I am doing… nothing else.

I have a habit if I have bullets primers and powder I have to load them till they are all loaded

I generally have to stop myself, but I buy both in bulk. Last time I did .223, I loaded somewhere around 5k rounds.

I really enjoy reloading. I just will not load more then I’m going to shoot in an outing. I don’t want it setting around for to long.

It won’t go bad

 

[ClintC]

Why?

It won’t go bad

I will load 50 rounds of what I will shoot. If I haven’t used the ammo before I leave to go back on a job. I’ll go shoot it and come home to empty brass.

Nobody likes shooting stale ammo...

I get it. I tried to like it, I just don't. I've watched guys measure out powder by little individual pieces. That would drive me nuckin' futz...

You know you can say the actual word here. Mods won’t hurt you.

Fucking Nuts!

Is the Hornady auto charge a decent electronic powder measurer?

I'd bet money they are all made by the same shitty Chinese company just have a different stamp or color added to the plastic.

I went through the RCBS route, and I think @conditionzero went Frankford Arsenal. Both are solid rigs and I would think the Hornady is too.

 

[conditionzero]

I think the FA and RCBS are good choices. Going up in quality from there for PRS etc starts to get super pricey.

 

[ClintC]

I was looking at the hornady auto charge. I went with the Frankfort Arsenal. If I was to upgrade later it will be to the RCBS. If you got 500 to 1k to spend. Go with RCBS.

I also went with the Frankford Arsenal but sold it recently
