Your non-aviation addictions?

Yanno ..

.. went to look at a Kimber .45 (Desert Warrior) ..shoots ACP .. makin my own ammo for it I could 'do' 2k rounds in a day of fun at the range with it..

..would be another hobby and a bit of change to get into but it does appeal.

Tempting.

Are those .30-06?

I wish I had the initial capital to invest in getting all of those tools to start saving money lol.  Hand casting your own bullets is pretty hard core.

Yup 30-06. Cost about a 600$ worth of tools and 400$ worth of expandable. The cast bullets Really are just for plinking. Bring my cost down to about 12cents/round, 4.6cents worth of powder, 3.6cents for a gas check and 4.2 cent for the primer. With a small charge like I'm using, the brass will last forever and with a reduced charge like, that the 30-06 does not kick harder than a 223. Good load for the wife and kiddo when he get old enough. Good for me too as you can shoot the thing all day without bruising. And man is it a fun hobby! I've had the time of my life assembling those.
