I can't stand shooting and having brass that needs filled. I shot 35 freshly rolled 45 colt on Saturday and having a partial box left over just bugged the crap out of me. Had to roll more and make a complete 50. Anyone else like that?
I just try to never bring home a partial box.
An older retired gentleman that loved to reload hung out at my club. Always trying new bullets, powders, kept the notebooks and everything. He did not shoot too well and always wanted me to try his gun and ammo. He would measure the targets and write it in his book. He was always real insistent that I finish shooting the box "so he would have brass to try a different load"
Usually it was fine, I liked the guy. Sometimes he would bring something like a heavy bullet load in 8mm Mauser or something else not comfortable to shoot. I would tell him not to load 50 more of those, and he would just laugh.
HA.HA..I have lots of half-full MTM boxes. I like variety. Sometimes I want to plink, sometimes I want earth-shattering kabooms. Sometimes I want both. It's nice to have options.
I'm still working through a box of 45 Colt that @billybob44 loaded. Been a couple years. I don't light off more than a cylinder at a time with those things. That box will last a while.
That was a great show.Everybody should have a little OCD in them.
As long as you're not compelled to touch every parking meter you walk by, you're good...
I think you mean CDO...alphabetical; the way it SHOULD be.Everybody should have a little OCD in them.
I had a buddy exactly the same, he had 20+ full autos and just wanted company when he would go shooting on the weekends. It was many years back but I still have fond memories of hanging out with that dude he was just a calm, laid back older dude who just wanted to see someone smile from shooting FA and see the curiosity from all of his reloading stuff he had going on.I just try to never bring home a partial box.

.....what sucks is when you find yourself becoming that old guy....your eyes aren't so good, your aim isn't so steady, your feet and legs are not as nimble in moving around trails and/or obstacles....I just try to never bring home a partial box.
