Don't You Just Love Reloading?

[Thomas15]

Been handloading for a year and a half. I have dies and components to load several rifle calibers but all I have the time to do is pistol. 9mm, 38 spl and 45 acp. I shoot "a lot" and have enough 9mm target and match ammo to get me and the 3 others I load for through the winter and into next spring. I want to finish up 200 rounds of 38 special tomorrow, this will give me enough 38 to get through July and then I'm sending my S&W 686 back to the mfg for some warranty work. I probably have about 1000 rounds of 45 so I'm good for now.

So, as I have enough pistol ammo to last "a while" I'm going to next weekend built a new bench and mount my LNL-AP progressive press that hasn't been taken out of the box since Santa delivered it over 6 months ago. The bench project has on hold pending completion of several projects for the Mrs., and a good cleaning of the garage. This weekend it gets put away or thrown out.

But I do love making my own ammo.

While I love building my own stuff I found it hard to pass up the Seville tables at Sams (looks like they've gone up $20 recently online).

Also,the roll arounds tuck nicely under them for mobile storage. Funny timing because I am picking one of these up tomorrow AM
Ultra HD 4-Drawer Rolling Cabinet - Sam's Club

You see, I too have another LNL AP I've yet to add. I've already received the free bullets if that tells you how long I've had it (the price was too good to pass up)! I think it is going to go to the left of the current press as far as possible leaving the left area under the table accessible for the new roll around (where the wood cart is now)

Thanks, smokindog. I didn't know Sam's had stuff like this. I'll take a closer look next time I go.

Yep. Been hooked for couple years now. It's relaxing and fun for me. Trying new powders and tailoring loads to suit my needs is another bonus. Of course I'm now hooked on casting too!

I have been reloading since 2005 and I enjoy it greatly. My two brothers and me went into it jointly and have a setup at my parents house. I've since got married and moved about 45 minutes away from my home town, just this morning I finished setting up my reloading bench at my new house. All I like is some small stuff to order for it to be complete. In very excited because I have no friends in my new town, and get extremely bored, so now I can get back to reloading to pass my abundant spare time !
