Winter blues

[ByrdC130]

Blitzfike, I've got some .223 Berdan primed cased in the shop, a couple of hundred if I remember right. I'd make ya a smokin' deal on 'em....free.

Thing about this weather is I don't go out and shoot near what I do when it's not CTAWT (colder than a witches teat) so my reloads last a lot longer.

But my homemade tumbler took a dump yesterday so I might actually go out and buy a real store bought one..... nah, think I'll just get another tupperware bowl.

Time to bump this back up.
I've already started reloading.
I have added a Lyman lube/sizer to the bench.
But will still probably tumble lube all my plinkers.
I need to get the Lee progressive set up for 45 acp also.

Who else is preparing for cabin fever?

I keep thinking I need a progressive reloader but with all my free time I should just single stage those 1k 40's.

There are certain merits to single stage.

trying to... gotta get some more work on the place done before I can dig out all the reloading stuff.

I'm using that as my incentive to get the house done; can't get the reloader out till we refi the place.

Heck you may not need to worry about cabin fever.........

Yep. I just recently cleaned up my reloading room and got it organized. I'm working on brass prep and will probably start getting pretty serious about loading in the next couple of weeks.

You mean like tendonitis?

 

[NikatKimber]

Not so much cabin fever as withdrawals; I enjoy reloading!

No dumbars. Keeping you busy longer.

I think most people come to a point where they find the reloading a nice distraction from life.
It's kind of like wittling a stick. You need to focus on it, or risk having to have your finger reattached.
