    I Do not know who would end up with my reloading equipment if I were to die but right now I would think My son in law would get the best use out of it. It would take more than a trip with the pickup to haul it all if he left the bench. The bench has a 1/2 inch thick by 30 wide and 50 inch long aluminum top.
    When I think back on all the **** I learned in high school it's a wonder I can think at all ! And then my lack of education hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall.

    Picking up ww out of parking lots while my wife looks at me like I am a nut.
    YES! I grab them off the side of the road when I'm riding my bike.

    I found .21 Oz. worth of SOWW in the parking lot at work on Friday and was as tickled as if I found a $20 bill. This is definitely a disease.

    You think you are saving now, wait until you graduate to things like 505 Gibbs and Double Rifles in 470 NE and larger calibers...
    Then, there's the Ten Bore Double I am having built. The slugs are 960gr apiece.

    pity this poor retiree on a fixed income...

    What I save in boolits I make up for in powder, primers, and propane. I'm saving a fortune! LOL

    Ya know, there are times I wish I only had one rifle, one hand gun, and one shotgun. But then reality sets in! Need a rifle for deer, one for Bear/Elk/Moose etc, one for Africa, at least two for P-Dogs, and just can't do without a 22. Then there is the handgun: Well, could probably get along with a 357 and a 22, but the issue of revolver or auto in 22 would be a problem, and probably need both.
    Do think I could get along with just one shotgun however, probably my side by side Browning 20g. Guess that totals up to about 7-8 which would probably be my minimum. And then there are the milsurps, andl the levers! Ahhhh-decisions, decisions!

    I started reloading and casting so I could shoot more, not save money!! Now I shoot more and spend more. Life is good!

    I think the answer is that those of us who cast are among the most avid shooters on the planet. Casting is simply a symptom of my condition

    Much like most politicians will say spending our tax dollars,
    "I'm not spending, I'm investing"

    Yeah, I'm investing in tools and supplies.

    I wasn't saving enough casting for a couple dozen cartridges so I started casting for the 50BMG. Now I'm saving so much I don'tknow what to do with it all. I'll be another Bill Gates before long. If I get that Anzio Ironworks 20mm I'll be the richest man in the world.

    This thread started with an "Ingot Slinger," wonder what we moved up to with a .50BMG? A muffin slinger?
