My birthday is tomorrow, I got some gifts tonite from my wife and daughter:

100 .357 Mag cases

100 158 gr .38 JSP's

500 CCI 550 Primers

1# of 2400

Lee 4 Die set in .38/.357

Obviously, they had some help from an expert, my understanding is that a Rock Chucker Supreme Master Kit is on the way.

Guess I need to go back and study the Reloading Roundtable discussion cool

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

I guess you better! Reloading is a good thing, you'll save some money, but it is also a rewarding hobby. Whenever I need some quiet time to relax, I go to the reloading bench.

Happy Birthday Steve! big-grin

You say that like it's a bad thing.  Where's the excitement in the post header?  mini-gun

Thanks Guys. I may be coming "full circle" here.

After I bought my first gun, my 15-2, I started reloading on a Rock Chucker. I sat up many late nights (overnights) trying very hard to blow up that gun with no success. That gun is still going strong in the hands of a very dedicated shooter and reloader.

Now I have several more to try to blow up, so I guess I have a lot of years left to shoot and play.

Again, Thanks.

Steve

I reload to save money and it is a good hobby.  You should enjoy it.
