    I have come to realize that once a person starts down the path of picking up range brass that person generally cannot hope to be rehabilitated. Reloading in and of itself is a vile obsession, causing one to virtually give up shooting in favor of sitting at a mechanical device and pulling a lever for hours at a time. Instead of improving upon the valuable skills of honing one's trigger control, breathing, and steadiness at the range, one becomes a slave to choosing the right bullets, powders, and whatnot in order to accomplish accuracy from the reloading bench. Truly, an obsession with pornography is not as destructive to society as an obsession with collecting brass and reloading.

    I'm kidding. Don't get all upset.

    I was with you right until you said you were kidding. I spend far more time reloading than shooting. I got into reloading to save money/shoot more, but at the end of the day I just have another expensive hobby.

    Same here. I spend WAY more time messing with brass prep and reloading than shooting.

    I can get certain brass cased 9mm for $5.99 / 50 rounds (AIM just had a sale on S&B)

    I don't even bother reloading anything but precision rifle loads anymore, and as KrazyKarl said I only trust the brass that came out of my rifle.
