Range Buddy is great but a "self-reloader" Buddy is priceless! It showed my Wife the process and that's where her interest ended. Lol

Same with my wife, so she just wants to shoot her .22 since we don't reload that, and then she'll want to fire the 9mm when I've got it all loaded and such. Oh well, my daughter loves to shoot and knows that we'll shoot more if there's more ammo. Only downside, replenishing my primer supply. We went through 200 of those little bastards today.
I took an old Navy Arms replica of a 1958 Remington .44 cap & ball out of the back of the safe. It is in a nice wooden case with compartments with a bullet mold, powder measure, lead balls, and a tin of caps. I have had it for 20 years plus. Out of sight - out of mind. Barely used with good bluing and case hardening. I found a blog in a black powder forum that let me know it was made by Gregorelli & Uberti (G.U. stamped under the loading lever)
in 1960, with S/N 18X. " G.U." were in collaboration from 1959 to 1963. Just something to do on a cool Sunday....Got my 1st covid shot this AM.

Cap and Ball definitely stretches your enjoyment hours per dollar spent ratio. 
I have a jug of 7383 powder (a triple base, pull down powder from 50 cal spotter-tracer ammo used on the 106mm recoilless rifle). Worked up a mild (1718fps w/200gr cast bullet) load that shot accurately and where the sights of my 303 Martini aimed. Fired 46 rounds of that load today. Now I have a use for that old, cheap ($3.25/pound) powder. 7383 does give off ammonia smell, which can have other shooters wondering what the heck you are shooting...it happened today at the range.
Patton didn't even start school until he was 11. He failed and had to repeat his freshman year of college. He had black spots on his brain from too many head injuries playing damn polo. He would never have even been commissioned in today's military and I doubt he would have even made it past MEPS

We're all serfs and slaves living on somebody else's land, either way you look at it. Even if you're done with the mortgage, if you dont pay rent to Uncle Sam, the city or the county then they show up with guns to take you off the property you only thought you owned^^^^^^^
