Yes - on the surface it seems costly, but for me it pays for itself over the course of a year because I go a lot - planning a trip out this weekend.To join I would have to join a club then buy a badge?
Thanks man gave me a couple ideas I like the idea of that trimmer possible not needing to debur
That's a slippery slope. I went at one point from selling gear because I wasn't doing much shooting, never mind reloading, to doing a bit of a deep dive, investing in all kinds of stuff.I need to get more into reloading
No no no no no.... I’m really interested in the progressive with some fancy prep tools to make 9, 45,40, and 223 rounds being able to be reloaded in a seamless flow while I watch shows during my downtime.
It's always a fun conversation getting back to the SO after she calls for you to come, and you show up 15min later after finishing up your run..Dad used to have the radio on while he reloaded. I can have music on the in background, but more often the ONLY thing I'm doing in the reloading room is reloading - no music and no other distractions. I won't even go pee until I finish a run of what I'm working on because I don't want to have to figure out where I left off.
Your right don’t want a hole in me or my ceilingNo no no no no.
Reloading is not knitting, or crossword puzzles, or eating Doritos n drinking beer.
Reloading needs 100% undivided attention. You are creating a safe product unless done so using dangerous practices if distracted.
Do not reload ammo and watch TV, etc

Treat every step of the process as if your health and safety depends on it. Because it does.
I can tell stories about bad reloads (and other bad weapons practices) causing major injuries. Even the minor injuries from "normal" problems can be pretty unpleasant.
Don't watch tv. Don't talk on the phone. Don't listen to anything that occupies your mind. If you do any of these things, don't shoot near me.

If I can't devote myself to the task, I'll do something else. Sort brass, prep work, etc. With pistols, the main danger is a double charge. A squib will piss you off, especially if it happens to find it's way into your chamber during a match or a class. Unless you do something world record stupid (like shoot another one when I he last one made a weird noise and the target didn't take a hit), a range rod and you are back in business.These are guys with the proper uncluttered and dedicated mindset for reloading.
They're the ones you hope to see, when someone with a plastic ammo box sits down at the bench next to you.
That sounds smart, I’m looking into benches and how I’m going to set up my reloading area right now. I like for things to be organized and convenient to access.WOW. One change I made to my bench was to move all of my powder off of the bench to another shelf rather than keeping them on the shelf on the bench. That way I only have one container of powder on the bench at once so i know what’s in the hopper and don’t load the wrong powder.
This is how I do it. Only one bottle of powder out at a time. I decided a long time ago that I’m not going to reload pistol ammo so at least I don’t have to worry about that bad stuff that can come from mistakingly loading pistol powder in rifle cartridges. I can be forgetful and lose concentration easily so I make sure when I’m charging loads there are zero distractions and I can work without feeling rushed. I also visually double check every case before seating bullets.WOW.

Just curious if you are batch reloading, or progressive? I don't like stepping away for a long time, but I have no problems stepping away for a little while. One of the things I like about loading on a Lee Classic is that 4 pulls of the handle and its a loaded round. Nothing in the pipeline. No cartridges partway assembled. My wife or kids need me for something and "one second. Okay I am done". Now if I stepped away for hours, I might not remember where I was going. Was I going to load a bunch more? Etc. I never leave the powder hooper loaded overnight, or primers in the feed tray. If I need to be done for the day, I'll take the time to clean that stuff out. Next time I go to load, re-weigh the first few charges and double check COAL. I've yet to notice a shift in COALs, but sometimes humidity, or just the first round or two on a freshly filled powder hooper means the first couple of rounds don't hit the charge weight right.Dad used to have the radio on while he reloaded.
