Always more of a help.  ;)

Of course my wife is wondering who Teresa is and why she keeps e-mailing me now.  :o  :D

Just a hint ... Don't tell her about the whips  ;)
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

Reloading is one of the most addictiing things I do.  Can't get enough, I even load some calibres I don't even own guns for....is that bad?  I sell them to those who do....

Just like any other hobby, sport, etc, when done in accordance with common sense and some basic rules, safer than driving to work everyday...

I have to say this in all fairness....you will not save $$ cuz you will end up shooting a WHOLE lot more cuz of ammo stockpiled! ;D

You will be able to.  Get some leaded bullets, or some Hornady bullets and you will do well.  I use Universal Clays as my powder of choice for all of my pistol rounds (which are many).

Have fun with your new addiction!

One of these days I'll be there with you guys. Still have a Dillon RL550B new in the box and a Lee single stage that has not been used yet. I have everything I need to load several calibers but have not found the space to set them up yet.

One of these days..............

well send them to me then  I will let you know how they go  ;)

saves you finding the space to set them up
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them

Geez, Peg, I thought I was the only one with that problem. My 550B isn't new, got it from a reseller who picked it up from the capitol's PD after their pistol team disbanded as they all seem to have taken other jobs with other PDs. Got the 550B, 2 die sets ($60 each) and some miscellany for an excellent deal. It too sits in abox waiting for space to magically open up somewhere other than in the garage - where it currently is about 10 degrees. Above, thankfully, but still, 10!

My 24 year old just got married (October) and most of his personal belongings (junk) is still sitting in his old room, waiting to be taken to his new home. The original "spare" bedroom has my wife's quilting stuff in it (along with a queen-size bed and all my guitars). My other son just turned 18 and with one more year of school left, he ain't going anywhere anytime soon.
I have a 20' x 20' workshop out back that I got for MYSELF, but between a Yamaha Rhino, EZ-Go golf cart, lawnmower, my woodworking tools, son's fishing crap, son's golf clubs, two Craftsman tool box stacks....etc.....well, you get the picture.

Sometime in the future........between four bedrooms and MY shop.....I should be able to find SOME space for my pursuit of happiness..........oh well, I guess it goes with the fatherly territory of putting their wants ahead of mine.... I can wait.

Big sigh..... ;)

Hey Peg, I have been curious about a Dillon, you can send it to me, I'll put it to good use.  Will also put your guitars to good use.
