Hanging up my reloading hat

[MississippiJoe]

I am getting out of reloading, for now at least. I posted my stuff on the classified. Only being home for a week every 6 weeks is rough and the wife has told me in no uncertain terms I am not allowed to hide out in my man cave during that week. I will probably start reloading again in a few years once work slows downs or I retire. Thanks to all you guys for the info.

Sorry to hear that.

She sees how much more it'll cost you to buy ammo and shell probably tell you to get back to the bench.

I rather someone get use out of the stuff instead of it just collecting dust.

What's bad, is that there is a range right across the street from where I am working in NC.

Well, you won't lose your knowledge. When you slow down, reloading will be there for you.

Teach your wife to reload and she can use it to pass the time while you're gone.

 

[tony b]

yes now that is a plan. teach the wife.

Great idea!

I can see the wife saying, "you ran out of x powder so I just put y powder instead. Also, 4.9 gr didn't really fill up the case so I just filled it up."

 

[Infantry23]

Lol, maybe selling is better then!

The decision is yours, but if there is even the smallest chance you'll reload again I'd seriously re-think selling all your gear. If you decide to replace it later the prices will only be higher and availability may be questionable.

This ^^^^^^

The stuff does not go bad. My reloading stuff sat for 16 years while I played with other hobbies.

Take your reloading gear to NC with you. Load in the evenings when off of work. You need to do something with your time.

Mine sat for 6 years while I worked overseas. Everything was fine when I came back. Keep it dry and bare steel lubricated and it will be fine.

I'd be reluctant to sell off my gear, even if I knew I wouldn't have the time to use it for a while.
Got to figure the investment in it has already been made, so why do that twice?
Also, remember not too long ago it was tough to find reloading gear anywhere.
This is also MD, so what you are allowed to own today you might not be allowed to own in the future.

I'm about to finish off some 45 loads this morning as we speak
Visiting family later today, so I have a little free time.

Happy Holidays to All
