RE: MZ addiction is a terrible, terrible , thing.
Personally, I don't believe there is any such thing as "MZ Addiction". For example, I've been playing with muzzle loaders for a little over forty years and could have quit any time I wanted - I just never wanted to. Sure, I think about muzzle loadersa lot. Maybe talk about them now and then, or or even constantly. Once in a while I dream about them. Have a locker full of five different kinds of powder, about sixtypounds ofbullets in twenty or thirty different styles,three or four or five different patching materials, enough sabots tomelt down and make a plastic replica of a Volkswagon,a pileof miscellaneous chunks of leadin the corner of thegarage, six range rods and cleaning rods, 209 primers, #11 caps, 25ACP primers, musket caps, black English flints, cut agate flints, bullet lube, patch lube, cleaning supplies,etc., etc., etc.
Now, I know inmy heart that if I were addicted to muzzle loading I would never think of anything else. However, I do occasionally think about sex and often wonder what's for dinner. SO, I'm NOT ADDICTED!
