We need a new section on this forum...maybe called something like "CA"...
Where AA is for "alcoholics anonymous", this can be CA for "compulsives anonymous"
I did just that the a couple of weeks ago...loaded brass without throwing through the wet tumbler...
I actually really struggled with it, & was so annoyed at myself for not leaving enough time to tumble...
Anyway, i sat up all night & loaded them...no gloves either...just a bit of handwashing...
Dear lord i felt so dirty & had no one to whom i could confess my sins...
Those beautiful little shiny gold coloured projectiles sitting up so clean & proud, & being held there with cases awash in my shame & neglect...it was truely woeful...
Anyway...by the time i got up the farm & threw a round in the chamber, most of my self turmoil had dissipated into that of excitement with only minor efforts required at spaced intervals of just trying to not dwell on the turmoil of the night before...
Next thing i know & ive got 5 rounds down the tube to check zero, & i realised i was looking at the said ammo box with some positive feeling...
Before i know it, i felt normal again, heart rate back to being out of drag race mode & the world started to turn again. albeit minus several furry little grey & red coloured critters, & it appeared the demonic spirit that had posessed my being had been exorcised ...
Load em' up shoot em' boy...!!!
Im back in the reloading room tonight...wish me luck...
The man who knows everything, doesnt really know everything...he's just stopped learning...
