Old rancher Bob farmed a ranch in Texas. The Texas Labor Board claimed he wasn't paying proper wages to his workers and sent an agent out to interview him.

"I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them," demanded the agent.

"Well," replied old Bob, "There's my ranch hand who's been with me for 5 years. I pay him $700 a week plus free room and board. The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $500 a week plus free room and board. Then there's the half-wit who works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of all the work around here. He makes about $10 per week, pays his own room and board and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday night."

"That's the guy I want to talk to, the half-wit," says the agent.

"That would be me," replied old rancher Bob.

OK let's see if I can get this to reply. I've been reloading ammo for years and know. I am in a wheelchair from to many auto accidents. But still love shooting hunting everything outdoors. I'm really trying to respond to a post. With reloadonig you won't know what your particular firearm will like revolvers tend to be more tempermetal than rifles. But start out always with lower loads. Fire three shot groups in a vise so to eliminate error. Mark each one with bullet type and what sizing was used, full length or kneck whether a crimp was used many don't use crimps with semi autos cause they headspace on the case mouth trouble is they tend to jam more frequently. So I always use crimps but not with revolvers the less you work the case the longer it will last. And as for the right combo your firearm likes well it takes time at the range and in the reloading room. So keep testing till you get what your looking for.
 
I know a whole bunch of fellers that can identify with Rancher Bob.

I would always complain that it would be cheaper to hire out some things rather than us amateurs tryin' to tackle a job out on the ranch.

My Dad and Grand Dad would both come back and say " Well your labor don't cost nuthin', so you can work longer on it and still save money."
 
Reminds me of the farmer that won the big millions jackpot.
When asked what he was going to do with all that money; he said he reckoned to keep on farming till it was all gone.
 
I always thought it would be great to find an 18 year old blonde bombshell that had a fetish for building fence and shoveling out barns for free. Then my wife gave me a book on the fallacy and true meaning of dreams. Oh yea she gave me a new shovel for a book marker.
 
Geez, Rancher Bob could swim the river if things got too hot up there and run an Ice Cream store down here for the same exact pay and working hours.
