Proven again that I can gain no ground reloading:
I bought a Loadmaster in 9mm. I figured I could load up several thousand and have them when I need them. No damned way, NO DAMNED WAY! For the love of God I can load up a damned bucket full and I will shoot it all, every round, in a weekend. My G26 and my Sig P250 subcompact are getting one hell of a workout.
I had the same experience with 223 when I tried to load a supply. I bought 3000 bullets and powder and primers. I just could not get ahead of the curve, the AR-15's just got hungrier. But I figured this is a progressive, yeah, nope. It's like giving a beer drinking alcoholic a bottle of Jim Beam.
There is no hope for me, the compulsion and addiction is just too much.
