Struggling with finding time to reload....

[Emmersom Biggens]

I'd rather shoot than reload... that's my problem... I have thousands of $$ invested in a ton of Dillon equipment and supplies.. I am self-employed, so my time is limited during the week. I may be putting it all up on the chopping block. I hate to, but its hard to justify the investment I have made when I rarely make time to do it. Maybe I'll trade it all for something cool!

It seems hard to balance. I just started and for me from the time I start researching a load, brass prep, loading and testing, it takes a lot of time away from other things.

When you give up and sell everything, you will be kicking yourself in the butt wishing you still had it. Make time for it, you make time for shooting, right?
We all need hobbies and alone time.......no one bothers me when my press is working, I do throw fire crackers when I'm done. Makes everyone look.
Just my thoughts.

Throw your TV out and you will have plenty of time. I turned mine off the day after the 2012 election and have never turned it back on.

Reloading, is like courting your girl friend, who became your best friend, who became your wife. You have to schedule time agreed upon by yourself, and your family.

Never get frustrated, reloading has to be a passion, like a therapy to cleanse the mind, a time to climb into your bubble, no phone calls,no tv, no radio, a sign on your door, basement, back door, DO NOT DISTURB UNLESS THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE, OR THE KIDS NEED, a stern talking to.

Practice this for a planned schedule time and alert everyone to NOT DISTURB YOU...

It works, however you will find the other members of the family will start trying your structured program which will help them also.

just a simple suggestion to consider before throwing away your passion, and stress reliever...

Wishing you well in your consideration of jumping ship, just take a little time to consider what you can gain, and lose by jumping ship...

And it will be winter again soon! Spring and summer always slows ya down some..but those cold winter days seem to be the best for my production.

I break it up into short bits of time. 15 min here, 30 min there. It works for me. We shoot about 500 hundred rounds a week.

Good advice. The only reason I have one is for the few Saturdays in the fall when the Dawgs play.
