[QUOTE="scheme, post: 2395069, member: 117961"] If the horse ain’t dead yet, I think he will be real soon…. Maybe I’m thinking about this just a little differently though, and no doubt age and stage of life is part of this conversation. I’ve got a job that takes more time and attention than I would like it to, but it pays **** good. Taking care of life’s other responsibilities leaves me a lot less time than I would like to reload (which I enjoy doing), shoot (which I enjoy doing MORE), hunt, fish, or catch up with buddies over a beer. I think a lot of guys on here are probably in a similar spot. I’ve been asked by several guys that I considered friends to do load development for them. They offered to pay, but my time is worth way more than would be reasonable to charge for it. Don’t mean that as any kind of brag, just that time is at a premium and you have to look at opportunity cost. What’s a day spent shooting prairie dogs or fishing with your kid worth? Instead I’ve invited them over, with an offer to teach them what I know and help them get started loading. Even offered to provide the beer, and maybe a steak dinner. The ones that have taken me up on it are the ones worth counting as friends, and the time in the reloading room drinking a little and shooting the **** is worth a whole lot more than what the ones that didn’t take me up on it would pay.
