Re: Thinkin' about Reloading?

Re: Thinkin' about Reloading?
Gotta admire RR for the one caliber. Life is simple and still has as much fun as the rest of us.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: Thinkin' about Reloading?
I'm trying to get an ole boy to let go of an 1885 high wall in 50-110. Just talked to him again yesterday and he's wearing down. I promised him it would have a good home and get plenty of exercise.RanchRoper wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 10:39 am1 rifle and 1 revolver, that's all I have. Both same caliber.

I do like the one caliber idea though. I just like so many others that I can't restrain myself.

Re: Thinkin' about Reloading?
My local range only goes out to 250 yds, so that's about as Quigley as I can get with a 45 Colt High Wall...

Re: Thinkin' about Reloading?
So do I and I wish if were that simple but it's more the exception rather than the rule.I do like the one caliber idea though.
Most reloaders started off with one caliber but added others as their gun interests expanded.
A lot of this has to do with ones shooting environment and if there is any hunting involvement this can increase calibers as well.
I am 'down' to just seven calibers now - three rifle and four handgun with two pulling double duty however it's not unusual to hear of double this number to more for some reloaders!
Reality is however even though some may have the dies & components for a variety of calibers it's usually about Half or less that get reloaded with any regularity. Out of my seven only five are loaded regularly.
I actually forsook my interest in a new gun and caliber a few years ago as I simply did not want to add a new caliber and have to acquire the dies and components for it.
