Gun Owning Smokers

[badwhale]

If my wife had just given me her 380 this would not have happened.

She found the receipt where I went today so I am already busted but I think I will wait a month or so to pick it up just to keep form ticking her off any more than I have to.

Now I need a new long gun, I like to have a pistol for every long gun and now I am at 7 hand guns and only 6 long guns.
I am still itching for a old mosin nagant but I know better than to try and sneak it in the house any time in the near future "she knows my hiding spots".

Well I may push my luck she did not say no more guns or anything like that, I got off easy.

Good thing the DE split check arrived first...

I get busted way to easy I forget she handles all the bills and sending checks.

My wife knows my addictions and allows me to feed them without complaint. It's worth noting though that a new gun purchase on my part is usually followed immediately by her purchasing some more pottery (she's a collector) and at odd times, another display cabinet. Oddly enough, 3 boxes containing pottery arrived just two days ago.....

There's always a price...............LOL

I am off the shit list with my wife
She wanted me to get her up a new camera to watch her cats when not at home so I did that and she is happy again.
I am not pushing my luck and getting a new rifle this month ill wait a few months so she don't get ticked again.
Man trying to behave sucks I passed up a deal on a 22 mag bolt action I really wanted.
I am even waiting to get my 380 out of the shop just so she forgets

Tomorrow I am back to reloading 9mm only because the tumbler is full of 300+ cases that are clean and need to get used up so I can clean some 223 and 45.
I got a Dillon super swage 600 in the mail today also so I need to mount it to my loading table and test it out.

I'm glad you're back on her good side!

I was talking to one of the exec's from our gun club the other day (he runs the handgun/rifle range) and he's a reloader and of course has all the necessary equipment and experience. He's willing to help me not only learn how to reload the right way, but he'll also let me use his equipment once I've got a handle on things to fill all those empty brass I've been saving for years.

I'm going to have to ask him if he enjoys a good cigar...

CptnBlues63 having some one to teach you the right way is what I would recommend.

Never trust anyone else's reloads unless you really trust that person and know they are not a idiot.
I tend to load on the conservative side lighter loads.
always do your own research on load data and double check when using other peoples data.

Todays load data for 9mm was
115 grain plated round nose bullets
4.6 grains of Red DOT, its a little hot for my taste but will cycle better in my 9mm.
CCI small pistol primers

My arm is sore now I loaded over 300 rounds on a turret press that was 1200+ pulls on the handle
I hope to be loading 45 acp tomorrow depending on the case prep how long it takes.

I thought getting taught was the best way. Like most anything else, there is a lot to know and from the reading I've done already there are plenty of wrong ways to do things and this is way too dangerous to not get someone experienced to show me.

I'm sure eventually I'll invest in my own reloading equipment but for this year, it'd be nice to just use someone else's and load all my empty brass.

If I lived anywhere near you, I'd happily give you a hand....and when were done, we could kick back and have a good cigar!
