It allows me to empty my mind of the garbage that builds up during the day. Of course it's therapeutic. It's the same way that sitting in a deer blind is therapeutic. molɔ̀ːn labé skýla

I find it very relaxing.That is unless you come on here and ask questions. Although if you have 50-60,000 or so posts it's ok. Then it becomes a job. Last edited by Swifty52; 09/07/15. Swifty

After three weeks of project radios, phones and non stop people in and out of my office I'm ready for the quiet of my shop when I get home for my R&R. It's my escape and I can disappear for a whole day in the shop loading handgun, rifle or shotgun. Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

Guess that's why I shoot pistol so much now days. Whit my progressive, I just pull the handle put a bullet on top, and a completed round exits.

I like to go through a load development project for a new rifle, see how it works out; then adjust based on how the shooting results come out. For me it's part of the puzzle.
