Default Bullet addict

This time of year the local sporting goods shops are all having sales and I can't seem to pass up a box of .44, .452, or .50 bullets. So far I've purchased 2 boxes of Nosler Partition HG (260 grns. and 300 grns.) at half price - even at half price they were still rather pricey, a box of 100 .44 CAS type lead SWC for $4.00, a box of 20 T/C Maxi Ball for $4.00, a box of 20 T/C Maxi Hunter for $4.00, and a box of 100 Hornady PA conicals for $4.00. All of these on top of the bullets left over from last winters hunting; Powerbelts (2 kinds), Hornady SST's 300 grn., PR Bullet QT's 250 grn.

I'm giving up going into sporting goods stores for Lent. This addiction is getting expensive. Uhhh... and I uhhh... picked up a couple lbs. of 777, I figured I'll need some powder to go with all the lead.

That is a easy thing to do. I have gotten where I avoid the sporting goods area of the local Wal Mart. They had a CVA Bobcat there in .50 caliber for only $59.00 and even though I did not need it, I can not say I was not tempted to buy the thing.

I did all my stocking up earlier, and got plenty of shooting material now for the rest of the spring and summer. Then hunting season will start and all this will start all over again...

Yeah well get a new muzzleloader that you have to "test out". You sound like you would make a great reloader too bugs. You have to try a few of these, and a few of those, and well I got such a deal on these I just had to get them.....
