Only once Colfisher around 1979, I am banned from leaving the man cave to do anything with guns and ammo !

I want you to know I wear the pants in the family, my wife just tells me which pair to wear each day, and which leg to put on first.
Do ya... Run things there also?

Like, like maybe the vacuum, washer & dryer, and other similar items? ;)

Well Vaquero, I am sure my operation runs like yours, after 45 years of marriage, I do what I'm told !

Well...she doesn't like the way I load the washer, :lol: but I can unload and put in the dryer. :roll: :lol:
I pretty much only vacuum the cave, ;) I never start the dishwasher, but it's ok to unload.
But really she takes care of everything, I just kinda pitch in from time to time.
Just a mere 25 yrs. with this one.

I have a rug in my reloading room that is a primer magnet. Back in the day (2019) when I dropped a live primer I didn’t try to find it and always wondered if the urban legend of a primer going off when vacuumed was true. Never happened thankfully. Now I search high and low for a live primer. :roll:

With all the spent primers I spill when I vacuum my rug the vacuum sounds like a grinder. :o

I decap with a LEE universal decap die on a single stage press and no matter how careful I am those little mothers go everywhere but into the primer try it seems. :(

These last few posts crack me up. I've come into the house with gun cleaning stuff or maybe a hand held prime thingy and say, "I wanna watch a couple innings of this game". Get the look only a wife can throw down and I just say, ok, ok, I'll listen on the radio out there". Back to normal. 8-)

Now see RT, when you do it enough, she eventually gives up and tells you to get a TV for the reloading room ! Best of both worlds now.

Thought about that r-n-g. As long as she still feeds me, I'll just make my way back in. I do have a good stereo set-up and well stocked mini fridge tho.

BUMMMMMMMEEERRRR ..... the order arrived but it didn't have 44 Spl, it had 40 S&W Spl .... don't know if it was my error in ordering or not ... I have a call in to Shooter's Pro Shop to see what can be worked out
the mix-up in the order was mine and I told them so .... without any hesitation, they said they would email us with a return authorization and shipping instructions .... to me that's good customer service

Successfully loaded about 25 rounds. Hope to get a date at local range soon. I’ll let you know how it goes.

I’ll zero short, and move to 100 based on how it does.

This is my first outing with the 6.5 Grendel.
Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Good luck Cofisher, hope it surprises you.

As to the tv, well of course there's one,
the reloading bench is in the mancave.

Sometimes it happens Jim, I just recently ordered the wrong stock for a shotgun project.
