Pulled Another 'All Nighter' -For Fun- Last Night!
« on: December 07, 2006, 05:53:52 AM »
Happened to me again last night - told the wife, "Quite by
accident, honey!"  ... but it was worth it!

Was sitting around here reading the instruction manual
for our RCBS progressive and figured that I could
probably knock out just the instillation in an hour or two
- which I did - and then go to bed. Of course, by then I
'just had' to run off a few 'test runs' - did the obligatory
adjustments and made the obligatory mistakes - finally,
got the little 'munitions factory' up and humming along at
the advertised 650/hr. rate of production and by the time
I had set up and made a .44 Mag. dies plate and run that
one, too, it was about 5:30AM.

... mumbling something about "being too old for this kind of
all night stuff anymore" I finally got to bed for an hour's worth
of shuteye. 

Alarm went off at 6:30AM - fixed the wife's breakfast and got
her off to school - I'm such a good little house husband -
and now I'm waiting for the range to open at 10!

... and yes, it does out perform the Dillion - the primer strips
and swapable pre-adjusted dies plates make it a whole lot
faster!

I picked up three plates and am going back for about five more
tomorrow!

However, I think today I have a monumental clean up job scheduled
for our 'little bench!'

Yeah, but wasn't  it worth it?

Your reloading bench is a mess, God I love it!!! I pulled an all nighter myself last night. Had run out of 77gr HP bullet's for my 32 long so decided to go out and cast a few. Well now I have a few,,,,,,,,,,few 155gr 38 cal HP's also! I'm not going to show you my casting table, but I will say this. When the Swamp Monster come's by to crtique my life style, she stay's away from there. She has this hang up about a rotary dial phone I like to keep around,,,,and maybe a couple other thing's! ;D

A neat reloading bench is a sign of a sick mind.
Hunting and fishing are not matters of life or death. They are much more important than that.
