FFS...
There i am standing at the reloading bench...
On the edge of the bench i have a container of cases nearly all the way through a tedious beauty make-over...
The cases are all dirtly & covered in lube, but freshly bumped trimmed chamferred fully prepped beautiful looking formed 204 cases about to go in the wet tumbler for their final skin exfoliation & come out looking like gods little angels...
I have an mtm case with 100 other cases of a different cartridge in it sitting on the seat, with one of those cases sitting on the bench BEHIND the container of fresh 204 cases...
Eager to get the sized cases in the wet tumbler, i rapidly reach over the container & grab the other case to put it back in its batch sitting on the seat...
In my hurried excited haste to return the other case to its box so i can set the tumbler up, my hand hits the edge of the container,
sending 49 fresh siized & prepped 204 cases flying accross the room,
in what i can only describe as being like that slow motion effect used in movies to bring exclamation to a disastrous turning point in the fight to save the human race ...
They flew past me fast enough for me to not even be able to catch one of them...yet they flew slow enough for me go into a sudden bout of depression before the first one even hit the ground.
And that sound of all that delicate brass pinging across the floor...
"oh the humanity"....
Somehow i just knew the room would eat one or 2 of them...& what do you know...in over 10 minutes of looking for them, i cant find one...
I have however found the ONE live primer i couldnt find when desperately needed it to finish priming a batch of cases recently...
We all know that once its all forgotton, & ive just packed everything away from loading these cases, that ill walk back in the room to lock up the fresh loaded batch & the case will be sitting right infront of me, all dirty, cold lonely & emotional tormenting me ...!!!
Thanks for listening...& go easy...the trauma is still fresh...
The man who knows everything, doesnt really know everything...he's just stopped learning...
