Just putting up some brass tonight and looked around; holy Toledo Bend!  I'm reloading 28 different calibers now.  That is a bit rediculous, but I won't let my wife know that.

 

So anyone with me?

I am at 25 calibers between rifle and pistol that I have guns to shoot my reloads out of.

Wow.  How did I let myself do that.

Why did you ask that question Ron?  Now I am sitting here Screwy

Sorry, I was just wondering the same thing... how???  I guess it's normal.  I've been reloading for over 30 years now and so it is natural to reload for whatever is in the stable.  I am going to focus on cast bullets when I return. I just bought a Star lurisizer and several moulds.  I've casted for just a little bit but am really interested in crafting a bullet from start to end of the hunt.  If I could make brass, I suppose I'd try that too.  I'm kinda ill////

I forget how obsesive compulsive our behavior is until I read these posts.  I reload 16; but I've been reloading less than a year. I'm sure more will follow.
