    Are you degenerate reloader?

    Take this short questionnaire to see if you have a "reloading problem". Hopefully my attempt at humor doesn't offend anyone or compromise Forum Etiquetteicon.

    On a typical day at the range, what percentage of your time is spent shooting vs scrounging brass?
    A. 90/10
    B. 75/25
    C. 50/50
    D. Sometimes I go, pay my fee and only scrounge brass.

    Would you rather prep brass or:
    A. Do your taxes
    B. Attend a loved one's funeral
    C. Attend your funeral
    D. Prep brass

    Which un-recomended household use have you found for let's say Reloader 19?
    A. Weed killer
    B. Ant killer
    C. Cat killer
    D. To cover male pattern baldness

    Number of times a year you've attempted to introduce case lube into your bedroom activities and been rebuffed by significant other?
    A. Once
    B. Twice
    C. Three times a lady
    D. Rebuffed? Not in MY house!

    Number of days you slept on your couch when during a dinner party you shouted out your wife's weight in grains?
    A. One
    B. Three
    C. A Week?
    D. I prefer the couch anyway

    Quick quiz: Yes or No...is Hoppes#9 an acceptable aftershave?


    Scoring:
    If you answered any of these at all, get help.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    I've sprinkled a fair bit of "decomposing" or "mystery" powders on the garden over the years. If you think it is expensive stuff in the US of A, it's downright scary over here in Oz, Still better to fertilize the roses than wreck a good gun or, yourself. Only way it kills weeds is if you pile it up on them and ignite it. Take care of your eyebrows; some of those mystery "shotgun" powders can burn pretty fast out in the open..

    Hoppes is much better utilized by the females as an attractant perfume. At least, hereabouts.

    Had a buddy who taught concealed carry classes. He used to sweep up all the brass and dump it in 5 gallon buckets and take it home. Finally got tired of all the brass sweeping so asked me if I wanted it. All 38 special and only fired once. I have a 40 mm ammo can full of it. Same thing for 45 acp and 40 S&W. One year I started being the brass rat at our club. Anything and everything went into a bucket and home it went. when I stopped I had 10 of those buckets. Scrap yard scale said 450 pounds when I scrapped it. Slowed down considerably so now only get 45acp. Old age has caught up with me so have to take it easy on my back. Used to mine the pistol range berms. Many of us shot only 230 grain hard cast in our 45's. So when the pistol range was closed for the monthly high power matches. I'd be out there with a sifter made of 2"x4"s a rake and shovel. Still have a couple buckets in the garage. Frank
