When I reload, I feel more at pece, calm, and relaxed. After working at my job i'm so wound up. But after I get home and start realoding I feel at pece, restful, and calmer. Do any of you have that happen to you. Rob

Only when the voices in my head tell me to go home and clean my guns lol!!

Peace, not pece.

I don't reload (yet), but I definitely feel that way after a day of shooting. Focusing on a target, being somewhat methodical for saftey's sake, and concentrating on a smooth trigger pull has a way of dissolving all of the day's other concerns. The same thing happens with photography, my other expensive hobby!

I usually feel relaxed after reloading and also after shooting, unless i am shooting poorly that is

I am fairly new to shooting but I tend to feel that way myself. My other hobby is messing with telescopes at night, if only I could put my telescope on top of my gun. that would rock. hehe.

*********************************

YES YES YES !!!!
EXACTLY

I kiss my wife on the forehead
I Go down into the Garage
I Turn on the Lights over my reloading bench
[relegating the rest of the garage (junky) to the shadows]
I Turn on the radio (103.5 Washington DC……Classical)
I Count the empty cartridge boxes (Color coded for caliber) on the “to be filled� shelf.
I Choose a caliber.
I Open up an appropriate page in my “Favorite Formula� book.
I Set up my Piggyback II (upgraded with the improved powder drop)
I check the operation of “Piggy� for smoothness….half a dozen strokes of the lever
I Select my components, counting them out………100.
I pull a box of primers out of the old refrigerator (non operating) I use for powder storage
(Powder in the Fridge…..Primers in the freezer)
I Dump them in the primer flip tray…shake….flip…pick them up in the primer tube.
I balance my scale
I check once more that everything is tight and as it should be.
I run through a test cartridge
(check weighing the powder drop before seating a bullet)
I try it out in my Cartridge Check Gauge
I mike it with my micrometer.
If all is good….I deliberately and serenely crank out a hundred .
No speed records….Just Me (note the “I’s� above) and MY “thing�.

Repeat until the world is more “right� again .
