I know some of you have been reloading a long time. Do you remember that first time you pulled the trigger on your first reloaded cartridge? I do, and it's probably the main reason I still reload. My neighbor gave me a single stage press and everything I needed to load 30-30. Bullets, powder, primers, dies, etc. It sat in my basement for quite a while until I decided to give it a try. After reading up on the process I loaded up a few rounds with the Hornady bullets and IMR 3031 powder. The next range trip I took the Marlin 336 and my reloads. I was half expecting them not to work. The powder and primers were over 30 years old, but from what I had read were safe to load and shoot and would be fine. First trigger pull and it went bang! Not only that but it was an accurate shot! My reloads were as good as if not better than the factory ammo I had been using. I think that hooked me on reloading. Of course that first experience led to other calibers, new press, dies and all the rest. Anyway, I've enjoyed the hobby for a number of years now and learned a lot along the way, including information from a lot of you on this forum. I'll bet some of you got that same rush when your first reload cartridge went bang.
