Some times it's just not meant to be and you have to learn to take the omens for what they are . I decided to try and get in a little reloading done for the .44 and .243 on my one day off. First off it seems someone used all my large pistol primers up and never told me . Then, lo and behold, first pull of the handle runs the case up the die but will not pull it out. It seems SOMEBODY left the .44 shell holder in and forgot to put the .243 shell holder in . Time to call it a day and go have lunch with the family. What it is I can say? Count my losses before anything really bad happens and quit for the day.. Oh well, you just gotta know when to say when some times.

By the way, I am not blaming this on all the long hours at work and being out until 3:00am last night with my best friend/hunting partner I haven't seen for 2 months . I am however blaming this on Frank, since it was he who got me to buying the bullets to try and up the speed a bit of my reloads and see if they shoot any better

Yikes, Bob, while I was reading your post, I was thinking man, that sounds like something "I" would do. But hey, I'm OLD, & can't remember what I did yesterday.... having slept since then!

And while I always say, "Speed Kills", it wasn't meant to "kill" the handloader. LOL So glad you walked away from it. Things always seem to be better after taking a break & returning to it later.... I hope!

Darn Frank,
You are must be a little more carefull.
At my age I have to double check everything.
Yesterday, I forgot my wifes name.

Tom I think that isn't good lol. I hope you just called her hey you, not some other name. Might not be healthy. Ed

, Yeah Frank, I have learned never to force it anymore. When two things in a row go sour I try not to tempt fate, especially since ammo is basically nothing mor than a small controlled bomb. And I had to blame you, that is the (new) American way right? Never take credit for something bad when you can always pawn it off on someone else

Hey Tom, it is probably better to completely forget her name rather than call her by thr wrong name though

[Frank]

since ammo is basically nothing mor than a small controlled bomb

Yep, exactly, Bob... And so true on the American (Obama plan) way now days.

Tom, truer words were never spoken. I honestly do have to be more careful now days & double check everything. Which reminds me... I better look at my wife's driver's license right now (double check rule).

[True2ThySelf]

Frank...while you're double checking her name on her driver's license, make sure to double check the age and subtract 20 when it's time to put the birthday candles on...that or go with 24

LOL... Hey, True, I never thought of that, and good idea. I may have to do just that. lol
