Does it ever end??

[hogpatrol]

Years ago [early 70's] I bought an RCBS reloading kit with "everything" I would need to load ammo cept dies.. Bought some H4831, primers [ $.75 a box], and bullets, and had at it. I was fat and happy.. Then I decided I needed a hand held primer tool. Got one.. Aaaah life is good. I now have everything.

Har Har Har. everything? Since then I just keep spending and accumulating stuff I just have to have.. Measuring tools, Case trimmers [total of 3] shell holders, funnels, primer pocket uniformer and flash hole thingy.. Finally I retired and figured I bout had it covered.. But NOOOooo.. Now I am looking at an annealer, and a bore scope among other things. Then there's the handy dandy scope alignemnt tool and laser bore sighter.. And a buncha stuff I don't even know I have. Someone just slit my wrists!!!

DOES IT EVER END?????

NOTHING ends until they put you in the box. There's no such thing as a rifle that's accurate enough.

Just hang on a while longer, Zillla. I'm about to introduce a tool for weighing and measuring every axis for small and large rifle primers. It comes in choice of color .....

Excellent idea, we go through the trouble to weigh out all are components and separate them into lots and never thought about primers. I am going to need to start weighing the primers and separating them into lots.

Everybody in this game wants the latest and greatest. Always looking for ways to improve and best what they currently have. Aesthetics counts too. It never ends.

Boy you said a mouthful. My friend and I were discussing how much money that I have spent since he got me into SR score shooting in 2013. 125K+. Totally ridiculous. It just never ends. It's a sickness.

If you learn from somebody that is on top of the accuracy game, you would buy once. That would save you a lot of money....... jim

Does it end? No, not if you keep reading or listening to catchy marketing ads or listening to those who did, who made the purchase and now feel they need to justify that purchase by telling their buds how great xyz is.

Be careful guys or you may come down with the dreaded SIDS* disease or it's cousin HIDS* Two of my pals were victims. It was sad to see those fire sales.

Ah but at 12 years old I told my Aunt who lived next door to me that I was never getting married. 47 years later nothing changed. I will NEVER be a victim of SIDS or HIDS. The only thing I have is CSSM, ( CAN'T STOP SPENDING MONEY). My friend who got me hooked on this game we play is SmittyJon. Thanks Chris, I'll never forgive u for this! LOL.

Well that's not always true.

 

[JimPag]

You're Welcome I think! But seriously folks in the few seasons that Jim has competed in IBS Score he has done very well. Clearly a case of the pupil's Ability exceeding that of his teachers. Go Pag!

Thanks Chris but you are far too kind. I've done fair, I do manage to pull a handful of matches out of my ass, but I am clearly not consistent. I'll never be a Breeden, France or a Jarvais, and that sits well with me. Like I said before, I have a better time hanging out with the guy's than I do actually shooting. I do thank you for getting me into this game, ( I THINK) and I should of gotten into it when I first met you in 2006 and you told me about it but you know how that goes.

You got that right. Same with me. First damn thing I look at. Same with items for sale on BR Central. A week and a half ago I bought a loading trailer that was for sale for 4K. I don't even load at the range. Everything I shoot is loaded at home, But I just had to have it. What a freak I am. No wonder I'm always broke.

 

[Ledd Slinger]

Same way with a boat and fishing gear. buy the best fish finders and gear, then next year you're outdated. What the hell? Endless pit, but I love my boat and fishing just like i love shooting so I can't stop.
