    When, after a day shooting, your wife walks up and yanks the TV remote from your hand, turns the volume way down, yanks one of the plugs from your ears, throws the remote in your crotch... and storms away without saying a word.

    When you have a two wheeled dolly dedicated to hauling more 5 gallon buckets of wheel weights into the garage that your car used to fit into.

    the Wife cleans the car and claims that every cup holder and storage compartment contains brass and then says its not even in calibers that you shoot lol . The reply is that it's for my bud when I see him because he shoots that cal. got to think of your bud when picking up brass because he's going to do it for you.

    You find a small empty basket that you empty 2 magazines worth of loaded ammo into because its your defensive ammo (cause youre going shooting) to return later to find baby clothes piled on top of it and the wife didnt even notice the ammo in the bottom.

    You have to travel overseas on business and the guy you are going with says "I just looked up the laws in "x" country. I know you sometimes have random bullets and things in your pockets. They can hold people indefinitely for that there. Just looking out for you.

    you build a berm in your back field and invite everyone to use it so that you can mine it later.

    How about sitting on a hospital bed watching the heart minister and trying to see if you can actually slow down your heart beat because you read in some shooting book that you should slow your breathing and heart rate and shoot between heart beats?

    You buy factory ammo, and are more excited from recovering the brass than shooting it.

    Finding a wheel weight in the WalMart parking lot totally makes your day.

    Being a fisherman and boolit caster causes constant personal conflict on what to do with that tackle box full of big lead sinkers.

    A trip to the junk yard to get a small car part turns into you carrying 50+ lbs of wheel weights to your truck, completely forgetting the part you actually came for.

    you have 'disagreements' with your wife, because "we bought this house so you could have a space to work on cars in", but it's all taken up with casting, bow building, scrapping, reloading, and a half dozen other things that I can't think of right now!

    You know you're a boolit caster and reloader when...

    you "window shop" for ammunition at every convenience, BUT rarely ever buy any.

    your cat finds empty brass regularly and bats it around like a toy.

    My cat steals it off the reloading bench so much fun to step on in the middle of the night

    You find yourself in the kitchen section of Wal-Mart drooling over small loaf pans. Great ingot molds.

    can't get to the range today because you have to melt down 600 lbs. of scrap lead.
    can't go to the range tomorrow because you have to cast some of your new metal.
    Finally get to the range and start mining lead and grazing brass because the rifle and pistol clubs are done shooting for the day and left a gold mine .

    You have forgotten what the original use for solder was.

    You've purchased moulds for calibers you don't even own yet.
