Just wondering what some of you guys do for fun/hobby.
I myself, I love going out to the garage, playing some music (any genra), light up the barrel stove, and start reloading some brass for my .308, 30.06, and 9mm.
Something about working with explosives and fine tolerances makes me happy after a bad day. _________________ Times change and so do people. |

I like to camp, ride my bicycle, play guitar/bass/mandolin and write, among other things.
I won't put reloading in this category, since I'm a bit too OCD when I'm loading. I actually feel better about using a single stage loader, weighing each load of powder by hand. I own a Dillon press but it hasn't been used in years. I just do not trust it.

I use a single stage Lee press and use a arsenal digital scale to double check charges. Works pretty well. I can do a batch of 50 cartridges from case prep to loaded cartridge in about an hr.
Then again I'm also not the fastest. _________________ Times change and so do people. |

I draw. A lot. I also play video games, as does most of humanity these days.
I love to travel but life has clipped my wings. _________________ AKA Skoon

I recently got into RC Tanking, good fun, puttering around the local parklands with my Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B. Watching the torsion suspension work the road wheels over twigs and divots looks aces.
And like any anthro enthusiast who can't draw, I write, on a ever growning collection of mechanical typewriter. Its safe to say I have a pretty big throbbing thing for working mechanical art. |

Well lets see weather permitting I enjoy shooting Trap and Skeet, reading, crusing around on my BMW two wheel and four. As for reloading use all Lee _________________ Beware the light at the end of the tunnel, just might be the headlights of my speeding truck. =0.0.=

Lee loaders are the stuff!
That Dillon of mine . . . yeah, it can load like nobody's business and I know reloading shops use them. I just don't trust the dang thing. I mean, I weigh each load after it's been through the press and I have never found a bad load, it just creeps me out with its precision.
I load a crap-load of .38 special 148gr hbwc, using 2.8gr of Bullseye. Okay, i know 2.7 is the preferred load but that extra .1gr helps 'seat' the bullet into the lands/grooves. 4" heavy barrel Smith model 10, Aristocrat sight rib, Clark grips.
Just sayin' . . . _________________ "Старый боевой конь, Кeллан" |

I really need to get the stuff to load 9mm.
I already do .308... I underload my target stuff, since the range im a member of only goes out to 200yrds.
Ive gotten about 20 or so reloads from the same brass on most of them hah _________________ Times change and so do people. |
