Are you one.
I am completely consumed by reloading, shooting and anything "gun".
To make matters worse, or better depending on your point of veiw, I now have a chrony.
I love the smell of fresh powder and burnt powder or Hoppe's powder solvent should be a womans fragrance.
I named my dog Ruger and I wear NRA shirts to conceal my Kimber.
I have a TV with a dvd in my reloading room and my wife said if I had a microwave and a fridge no one would ever see me. I know she is right on that one.
When I'm not reloading or shooting I am at work thinking about shooting, hunting, reloading and fishing.
God help me if the senator from NY or anybody like "HIM" :lol: gets in the white house.
 
You're in good company Old #7.
TV, and Radio in the reloading room, and always looking for an excuse to load for something or somebody. Doesn't matter if it's my gun or not. I love my Chrony, but now I'm thinking about an oehler 43, or one of the competetors. There also a Chronograph out there with IR sky screens. I think it's made for those of us who don't have enough sence to stop shooting while the sun is setting. If I have to turn on my lights when I leave the shooting range, that means it was a good day.
 
My wife is constantly after me about how much time I spend handloading, reading about shooting or handloading, and surfing the forums. I think if it weren't for my son loving to handload with me, I'd be in more trouble than I already am.
 
Yep, eat, breath, read reloading, hunting. Getting a computer and finding this site made it worse . You trying to start something like reloaders anonymous ? :)
 
No reloaders anonymus for me.
You would have to pry my gun and my reloading press out of my cold dead fingers to get me in a anti reloading room.
 
Yep, I have a Black Lab named Remmy, short for you know what... on the look out for a Yellow Lab now mostly so I can name him Nosler.
I have all the above mentioned in the reloading room as well, the one thing I'm missing however is a " LOCK " on the door! :lol:
 
Well I guess that I can join the crowd. I got back into reloading this past year with my old press and cause the price of ammo for a 7mm Mag at wal-mart and other sporting goods store has gotten out of sight. I've been buying some Nosler brass 2nds and also bullet 2nds. a little at a time. My wife says I'm spending too much money. well you can't take that money with you,so I might as well enjoy it. when the weather breaks I want to try to do some shooting before next hunting season. I enjoy shooting,hunting and fishing.



Noslers Rock!

If the senator from NY gets in for president,were in trouble.
 
I remember - barely - seating bullets with Grandpa back when I was around four, five or six years old. Out in his old shop, loading for the .30-06 and his fancy new .257 Wby mag - this was about 1962 or so and I don't think I've ever lived anywhere without a reloading press setup - except a few times when the Marines had me living in some odd places around the globe. They provided plenty of ammo though! :grin: Didn't really need to reload in those places. Yes, I just plain enjoy loading ammo.

Heck, I remember thinking once - "I've got to go shooting so I can load more." :roll: Pretty much realized I was a hopeless basket case at that point.
 
I'm just about done with college and it took some bartering with the little woman to let me have one wall in our small rental house to set up my reloading stuff. Funny thing, there just keeps getting to be more and more cool stuf that a reloader just "has to have" so now the dinning room is my reloading room for a few more months, then i'll have my own room with the radio and my mini fridge!

I was just thinking that.
You could always save your ammo and buy more brass :)
