Does reloading cause brain damage?

Reloading and brain damage

There is a fairly recent Facebook page for discussing the use of Dillon Precision presses for handloading. I have been using Dillon presses since the early 1990s so I thought I might help. However, after watching the site for a few weeks, I have concluded that brain-damaged people are buying Dillon presses due to ammo scarcity.

Many of these people have NEVER handloaded any ammo ever, but they buy brand new Dillon 1050s, 1100s or 750s. This is clear proof of brain damage as they come on the Facebook page asking questions that should be elementary. It is pitiful but there may well be a lot of Dillon presses for sale in the near future.

I did finally post a comment about setting up a Dillon press: First-Never open and read the detailed set-up manual that comes with the press! Second-Never call the Dillon help/tech and get expert help. Third-Always go to the internet and get "help" from people you don't know!

The site may not last much longer because it has turned mean/nasty the last few days.
 
I was given 2 Dillon 550s but that was years ago just because I'm such a swell guy and I think that I don't have any drain bamage but my wife might disagree. For further proof of my mental prowess my son gave me a tee shirt that proudly states that 'I'm no rocket surgeon.' See!

I thought it was "rocket scientist"? Whomever printed the shirt might have been brain damaged.
 
I have a "Reloading causes brain damage" near miss. I was sizing bullets in a old Lyman 450 and the lube was so stiff it would not flow (it was cold in that room in January!) So I grabbed my wife's blow dryer and directed the hot air stream towards the base of the sizer, worked great!

But I managed to smear alox all over he hair dryer! She started looking for her dryer before I got home from work the next day. She met me at the door (with dripping wet hair and fire in her eyes) I simply hander her the bag with a brand new top of the line blow dryer. That is how I avoided a trip to the ER for a emergancy rectal dryerectemy! (it seems my brain is located near there and that blow dryer would definitely cause brain damage!)

I keep nothing but blunt-tip scissors in the house just in case my wife decides to operate on my skull.:eek:
