Psycho Handloaders unite
There is nothing that relaxes me more! Nothing! Handloading sometimes is better than you know what and not as messy! Its a science project! All that cross referencing and plugging in numbers and extrapolation and measuring! I have load data everywhere..I go to handloading fourms! I worship my loads, I love them they are so shiny and cool...
Especially the 6.5x55 becasue it looks so looooooooooooooong like a spear Like these two next to my cell phone. One with a 130 TSX loaded to 3.250 OAL (warning!!!!! that may exceed the OAL of YOUR rifle) and the other a 155 mega loaded out to 3.100....!!! I love them!!! i cant wait to see how they shoot!

Oh, yeah, those are nice. I have often thought about NOT shooting finished rounds when looking at them, all lined up, shiny and beautiful. Then I go out and ruin them anyway, so I can make more! Yes, "psycho" is quite apt here.

Repeat after me.
It is just a hobby. Every one needs a hobby. Relaxation is good. It is just a hobby.

Gotta love it when it takes me 2 to 3 days to load 60 rounds of match 5.56 rounds. Take the time sizing and trimming brass, manually weight all drop charges from a powder measure - meaning I nix the drop charge with the weight being off by .25 grain. Meticulously seat those 75 grain bullets and it only takes 2 hours for me to shoot them, with lots of breaks in the middle of a 5 shot string. Gotta love it! josh
