Longtooth,
I apprciate the offer, and would love to meet up with you sometime. But as far as the military thing goes, someone had to do it before me, and someone will do it after. The way i see it, those of us who came back uninjured, and especially alive, have no claim to anything special as there have been many who didnt even get to come home, and those are the guys we all owe a debt to. I just took my turn in a long cycle that needs to be kept going, thats all.

Longtooth,
That old schedule of mine has changed since then. At the time, i was in the military and have since gotten out and gone back to school. BAck then, i had a schedule, and it was to be where ever they told me to be at whatever time, and they didnt stay consistent. Making plans back then was iffy at best, so i'd go home and load a few rounds and then crash out, then do it again the next day. Nowadays, i dont get nearly as much time to shoot, much less load. Then again, i still dont hit the bars and clubs, so that helps with the time issue. I can always load a few hundred rounds per weekend and keep myself supplied.

I have been reloading for a few years, and i am still using my Lee single stage. It may not be as fast as a progressive, but it has kept me busy and out of trouble. You have to consider the source here, but being single, with no kids, i havent had much going on to keep me from turning out a few rounds here and there. My usual procedure was to wait til i had about 1,000 or so same-caliber cases that needed loading, then start. I'd do the resizing/depriming one night, as it usually goes fairly fast (3-4hrs). Next evening or two i'd prime them. Then bell, depending if needed on caliber being loaded. Then load powder and insert bullet, and sometimes crimp the same night, other times spread it out over several nights. This was usually weekends, but many times it was after work. What else was i gonna do with my time? Never been much for the bars and clubs, and i can only fish so much (dont wanna eat fish every night of the week).
