jeff no doubt in my mind how cheap it is. man i was cleaning out one of my rattlesnake rat infested outbuildings and in a corner stashed were mega ammo boxes of empty brass.
while consuming insane quanities of beer this summer in a freeking 135 oven, i pulled all this brass out(CASES) and laid it on a werkbench i have outside. called my hunting amigo puedner over to have a few cold juans and when he got there i pulled the tarp off i had covered them with.
he liked to POO AND DIED ON THE SPOT!
.38/.357/.41/ .45/9mm/scads of .308/ scads of 30/30.
you should have seen his eyes. it was like he had hit the motherlode!
well that corner of the building is clean now and all those orphan cases are being reloaded.
when we get a stiffy to do some reloads we just come up with recipe for the load agreed on, hit dillon or a coupla other sporting goods/ammo stores, pick up primers powder, bullets and its off to the races.
one rule of thumb. one powder, one primer type, one shell type, one bullet type allowed at a time. no mix and match nothing. makes fer safe shooting and no bugging someone when dropping powder or horsing around. total controlled atmosphere. we control the horizontal and the vertical. that way no double powdering a shell.
its ridiculous what we pay to go shooting.
sure we gots to come up with the brass initially, but what the hell nothing in life is free.
right now both of us are in gun mode. until everything perfect as we want , nothing is safe from improving upon. a coupla months from now or so we will burn out and he will go back to his m3 bimmer and me to my 911.
being cyclic with our hobbies tends to not have terminal burnout on them.
