The post whore thread.

Cool, HC...and I look forward to that.

Buying 1lb containers, except for load development is, IMO, mental masturbation. Like the guy in a LGS buying primers. CSR said we have 1 - 5 K available. Guy goes i'll take 1K Your reloading and buying 1K, it cost you more to drive there and back than buying all 5K. I understand 1K of anew primer, maybe. I took the other 4K
Buy often, buy in BULK.

I disagree. I did what budget allowed and never have put my reloading supplies on credit cards. Some weeks I could buy 1 pound, some weeks 0, and some weeks 8 pounds.

Buy what you can(both availability and budget), and always see what you can do to reduce money on dumb shit so you can buy reloading supplies.

My $00.02

I salvaged "most" of it...mostly.

I just look at it and go .

No reason you need to be pushing max load specs for paper.

Probably another newbie mistake, Jim. Spec is 23 gr start.....25 gr max....I went max because most of my factory Rem 223 is 55 gr projectile, I thought it would be more comparable that way.

Again...I'm still learning.

Not used a CC for any components or presses. Cash or bartered, buying components when everyone else was buying mags & guns. Barter or trade is the only way i can afford ANY hobby.
Besides who else has the Good deal, AMIGO

I run 55gr ONLY and have some loads @ 22.4grs. There's a reloading forum 1/2 way down from here. Has more answers, suggestions, advice, than a PWT. Might also save your firearm, or sight.
Hell i'm still asking questions, can't learn if you don't. One of the better things to come out of instant info, are the gun and reloading forums .

You're right on a few things there, Jim.

As usual, I'd add.

I kinda think of this thread as my home sorta....and I shouldn't have brought it up here..... it would be best to keep reloading specific topics and related conversation, in threads that exist for that purpose.

Not really, There's no "RULES' regarding what you post here. However you'd get more input there, than here.

Besides if you ain't posting , you ain't whorin

I do, however, know that this is the right place to drop my pants and run around in circles...waving a rubber chicken, and threatening the ice cream truck driver with the music turned up too damn loud.

Yeah, that's true.
