Woo Hoo! Happy Birthday to me! Well, not for another month.
BUT, my lovely lady, for the sub-momentous occasion of my 47th birthday, ordered me the RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme kit and it arrived in all its green glory today. It was like a hot, humid Christmas with no annoying relatives and tuna for dinner.
I am pretty jazzed to learn the art. Plan is to start with 9mm, get a solid understanding and then move on to the rifle ammo.
I think I’ve gathered all the basics. I’ve done a ton of reading… here there and everywhere. As soon as this post is done, I’m making a tuna sandwich and digging into the reloading manual
I’m also scoring a 6’x32” heavy duty wood-topped bench with steel legs for my favorite price… free - another perk of being with such a lovely lady. Her place of employment is getting rid of it and they seem fond of her. I get to pick it up Tuesday.
Out to the shed goes my crummy almost-a-gun-bench! The book & gun room is getting a makeover! Next week includes a bunch of stripping and painting…. followed by the mounting of hardware, and finally the beginning of what I’m feeling will be a pretty rewarding endeavor. The OCD element within is just giddy with the thought of all the counting, measuring and adjusting… ever towards a more perfect round.
That’s the multi-moment of good day vibes I wanted to share. I guess it’s also fair warning - there’s a new guy getting into it… another round of questions.
