serious condition(I made need help)

:grin:
Well I'm afraid I might need help. Allthough I haven't been reloading that long I'm up to 6 calibers now but thats not enuff.
Now I find myself looking at rifles in odd ball calibers that would be a challenge to handload. No more "normal" ones for me. Gimme the 32-20 or the 303 savage.

Is there a deal like AA?? maybe RA, for me? A 12 step program?

OK, we'll give you the 32-20 and 303 Savage.  What abnormal ones are you going to try?  Those two are no different than -06, 308, or any other typical rifle caliber.  

You are just getting started.  Warmed up.   The fever hasn't hit yet!!

I first sensed I was in trouble, when I decided to fire form cases and started to look longingly at firearms with brass that would be a challenge to create from some other cartridge.

Then there is the pride in being able to neck size a 7.62x54R or 7.7x58 Japanese case with your handy 32 ACP pistol die.  

Another of my steps into trouble was when I bought dies just so I could reload for a co-worker who didn't reload and had an inherited rifle in a caliber where there wasn't off the shelf ammo.  I mean I didn't even own the rifle and I was buying brass, bullets, and dies for something I don't even use, just to have a new reloading challenge!

However, whenever I feel that I have gone off the deep end, I visit steve's web pages and realize that some people have taken reloading to a platue I will never enter.  I feel more normal, although in awe of Steve R.

If you don’t watch out you may soon find yourself hanging out at firing ranges, not to shoot, but just to scrounge for empty brass.  In a real bad case you will stand at the entrance with an empty coffee can and pan handle—Say mister do you have any spare brass?  You will offer to load for your friends in calibers that you don’t even have and will shoot just to have the empty brass.  The children will ask their mother—Who is that strange man who spends all his time down in the basement?  Yes my friend, you probably need some serious counseling before it is too late, if it isn’t already. :roll:
