[QUOTE="nheninge, post: 280299, member: 13085"] Wow 50 hours spent on 50 shells? Shoot me now. I spend a lot of time on brass, and I would quit reloading before spending that amount of time. My time is worth a lot of money. With those numbers I could justify spending thousands more on a custom rifle that shoots factory ammunition. Unless you are a competitive shooter, that amount of time has [B]very[/B] diminishing returns especially for hunting. Even long range BR shooters will tell you to spend less time reloading and more time shooting. I do all the preparation you list [I]and more[/I] and can't even imagine how in the heck I could spend 50 hours on a single box of shells, even with new brass. Things I would rather do than spend 50 hours reloading 50 shells: 1) spend 25 hours reloading and 2 days scouting 2) Spend 25 hours reloading and 2 days going to the gym to get in shape 3) Spend 25 hours reloading and 2 days doping the wind 4) Spend 25 hours reloading and 2 days reading how to shorten my procedure You get the idea... I hope your loads are "perfect" and that you have a rifle capable of justifying this much time. [/QUOTE]
