[QUOTE="Playtimefun, post: 2786241, member: 103742"] And I go off whether the rounds sit loaded in the gun safe... being fired at an animal, at a piece if paper OR even a rock out in the middle of a field... I want the most accurate load I can put in it. But at the same time, I have a ton of factory ammo sitting around where I go... I need to go practicing (paper or rocks, etc) so I'll buy this box(s) at the gun show. Then you wind up with both reloads and factory sitting there because you buy another gun.... cause you plan on practicing more with it (shhhhhh the wife still believes this story) lol. To me... it's all about how anal YOU want to be when you ARE NOT shooting competitions. Again... shooting IPSC matches, guys couldn't believe that I single stage loaded every shell. Just me being me. I am a die hard fisherman with mega dollars in gear. Used to change all my lines every year. Why??? Cause it stretches and you can't set the hook as well or feel finesse bites as well. Then I came to the realization that while I had been in 2 walleye tournaments in my life (for semi fun competition and we did not bad) for fishing at my cottage... there wasn't a hill of beans difference in putting new line on or not. Now 1 old rod sitting out there hadn't been changed in about 10 years and I took it out and the line would spool due to the memory. So for reloading side... it's like measuring to 0.01 grains versus .1 grains versus just using a powder throw and not even checking it (which I have seen and heard of guys doing) Being anal on reloading is fun but maybe not necessary but still we do it.
