    A guy I worked with said you don't SAVE any money reloading your own.

    The reason for this is that the major ammo manufacturers get their cases, powders, primers, and projectiles at volume discounted wholesale, while you get them at retail. You can find volume discounts, but you're still paying retail.

    He said the two reasons for reloading are:

    1) You want total QC over your ammo, AND

    2) You enjoy reloading your own ammo.

    Sounds like a natural fit for you!

    Yesterday was my last day hauling sweeteners and oils.

    I'm taking a week off and then starting local with the cryo outfit August 1st.

    Our "furry grandson" is coming for a visit this weekend, which I am looking forward to.

    True, but they STILL might look like the were "assembled by blind people", which was the crux of the original complaint.

    I hate it when people use big words I can't pronounce or understand.
    Nor hatin' on you @okiedokie, but I would submit, that we are all born ***holes, (see also grandchildren), but we either move North or South, depending on our dispositions.

    Personally, I'm stuck in the middle. But I have high hopes

    You know.
    Sometimes I think back to my younger days(younger sounds better than 20+years ago...) Especially now when i look in the mirror, which i try to avoid, cause there’s this guy with thinning hair and gray(grey?) in what used to be thick brown hair, and i have to take a double take and say? “Wth happened to me?”

    Anywho.. here’s something i learned along the way.
    If you go out drinking, sometimes it’s good to not go out drinking with friends, cause they’ll remember things you won’t, or can’t.
    Once upon a time.... in a land far, far away,.,after ... we’ll we use “you” after you had been drinking a bit but blackout drinking, and in the process, when you really don’t care, and there’s no way you can even do the simple things, like bend down and touch your toes, because you didn’t realize the room is on a swivel and it’s now picked up speed.. one of your “friends” who hasn’t had as many drinks? will say something along the lines of, “Hey, yo, check out the lady over dere.”
    And you gotta blink a few times then you’re gonna look, and what you’ll see is the most stunning, amazingly beautiful woman you’ve ever seen in your life!

    Now, you’re gonna be.,, talked into going up to her to embarrass yourself, but you won’t remember.. but you’ll say something stupid like,
    Hey baby, youse da most georgus woman I’s ever see in muy lifeises.
    Watcha says we blow this joint, and goes and has some fun,”

    That’s all you’ll remember bits and pieces of, the next morning.
    First, you’re awake, but you can’t seem to open your eyes.
    after wincing and wiping your one dominant eye, and trying to focus, you realize a few things,
    1, light is coming through the window, just barely but it’s super bright.
    2, when did the window get put there?
    3. your still drunk
    4, this isn’t your bed, so that’s why the window is probably there, so you sit up, set your feet on the deck and rub your head and get other eye working.
    5. something just moved and snored:snorted behind you
    6. you gotta look.

    You know, being still belle drinking age(back then it wasn’t as big a deal) you gotta get gone, so getting clothed and trying not to fall, and be silent, you somehow achieve it, then you stagger threw the bedroom door and this big f dog barks, killing your escape and splitting your head,
    Then you hear in a soft spoken voice, “Where do you think you’re going?”

    Your friends are hateful.

    I'd be leery of retail reloads. A lot depend on how competent he is, quality of his equipment, and detail minded for accuracy.
    Squeeze of a double dose and blow up the ole shootin arn. Nah harley...
