    Be aware its an addiction !

    You depart with mighty boasts, but you come back having done little.
    Sounds like a typical hunting trip !

    Just food for thoughts, if you really want to know what you are doing or intend to do about "reload or hand load" read the following link till the end and you will understand what addiction is... No joke, you will find out why many of us spend too much money in "reloading"...

    Reloading and handloading, what is the difference?

    Cheers.

    Good beam scales are hard to beat...can be sensitive to drafts though...as all scales can be. I use an RCBS chargemaster and calibrate each time. The pace of reloading has increased dramatically but it has not added quality.
