“It’s time to put away childish things.” “Goodnight Bill, Goodnight Ben, goodbye Golly, goodbye Teddy.” “HELLO Guns & Ammo”
Hobbies, a euphemism for an addiction, and I have more than my share. Reloading, a unique Cult within the shooting community. I’ve been Re-Loading for about 20 years, so a relative neophyte, as defined by the elders of the Cult. Its America, we do it because we can. A Re-Cycling effort long before it became an annoying catch phrase.As with Tea, this hobby is fraught with more than its share of self appointed experts, their proclamations are mostly self published / broadcast via the popular media.
So, a hobby with an edge that demands much care and attention to detail, with explosive feedback for a lapse in diligence. Should you migrate the hobby into the commercial realm, yes it is true a small fortune can be made, with ONE prerequisite: You start with a Large fortune.
My collection of “stuff” that supports one of my addictions; Buying Stuff, justified as required to support the higher level addiction.At the epicenter; a Dillon XL 650, 5 Station Progressive Press, with Vibratory Auto Case Feeder. A veritable cornucopia of supporting: Gadgets, Accoutrements, Paraphernalia and Whatnots, come in a mind boggling, never ending supply, to say nothing of the consumables and their Daedalus labyrinth of choices.
