When I first started hand loading I decided it would be best to only have 1 or 2 "calibers" to have to load for so I traded the wifes .243 for a .270win since we had one already, and I had a couple .308win's so I was just going to keep things nice and simple and not have to buy a whole bunch of reloading equipment....boy was I kidding myself. $1000 in reloading crap later I realized I was fooling myself. I blame you people. Now I'm planning on getting a new .243, I have a .264 barrel blank with no real clear direction in mind, .223 ,22-250, the new fad gun(for the wife) I won't spell out cuz that horse has been beat to death. And now i just gotta have a 7ss, and really thinking the 25ss looks intriguing. So yes, i blame you all. The bug done bit! Still haven't become comfortable with spending big money on a custom action, but it's only a matter of time. I'm crazy enough that I want to pull apart my rem 700 and try to blueprint the action myself, and then cut that blank i got into a 260rem. Cuz why not? And since I'm not just quite there on my machinist skills, will end up running the remage style setup as it's more forgiving in the headspace department. I dont want to do any of this because I'm too cheap to pay a gunsmith(but I kinda am), but rather because I cant imagine how thrilling it will be if I can pull off a sub MOA build that I did everything myself. So everything everybody has said about building customs being fun and then move on to the next, I totally get that. I just think I'll be the crazy guys with gun safes lining every wall cuz I dont like getting rid of a rifle.
