You know you are a cheap reloader when:

[rineay]

....you go to the range on a day with crummy weather and a time you know nobody will be there just to hunt for brass.

Well thats me everytime at the range, but I add in to pick up burm lead on slow days to cast more boolits with.

 

[croy]

..... You watch your Shooter Friend's brass ejection NOT the target hits!!

hahaha I have done this. Ive also taken friends out shooting that dont own guns and tell them if they dont find all my brass theyre not allowed in the car and when they say we"ll see about that I reply whos the one with the gun?

 

[Loganwildman]

Wow, I am a cheap bugger, but there are a few on here making me look like a big spender lol.

Is it bad that i'm not set up for reload yet and i'm guilty of half these?

That just means you're only half a suckah, right now. You'll lose the other half when you stop buying factory ammo and buy a reloading kit, instead!

When you save your primers and load them in shotshells.

Save USED primers to load for shotshells? How's that work ? I'm interested!!

 

[biggen]

It aint' much of a load, but we do it when we're bored. We shoot them out of an old junk single shot. Kind of figured they would be hard on the barrel.

Yes they are USED primers.

 

[Fullmag]

Used primers? With no explanation on "you know your a cheap reloader when..." thread!

That's like throwing a candy bar on the floor at Weight Watchers just to see what happens.

 

[biggen]

Maybe people are misunderstanding, we use the "used primers" as shot in shotgun loads

 

[Fullmag]

That's what you mean by "kinda hard on the barrel". Thought maybe you were using match heads or something of the sort.

You know you're cheap when you use the same Dollar Store plastic colander to strain your spaghetti and to strain your brass out of the tumbler media.

 

[MikeDVB]

you design a brass catcher that attaches to your pistol so you don't loose so many cases when your 10mm throws them a mile away.

I don't see anything wrong with most things said so far!

Saw that very device here on INGO, pretty clever .

When you go buy a new set of tires and make the technician give you your wheel weights.

Please don't do that - I needed some wheel weights to balance the tires on my motorcycle and almost nowhere would even **sell** me any because they were concerned I was going to melt them down to make bullets... And this was before I carried.

*IF* you do that, please do not tell them you're making bullets with them.

I have heard of the used weights going for .50 a pound up here.... Insane I tell you!

You been watching me????

No Problem--

Just get a dark colored one and the Wife will never notice the brass wear marks..Bill.
