...You start thinking about tomorrows club shoot and realise you do not have as much ammo stored as you thought.

Oh well, cases are in the tumbler and an evenings reloading awaits.

Or you scrabble around and find some old nickel .357 cases, so load those up for Phoenix... then find that as the nickel cases are not as thick as brass, they haven't been crimped enough, so the bullets push back into the case in the magazine tube... and you find this out half way through stage one of T&P1...

When you drive an hour to a shooting range, only to find out that it had been booked for a competition, and you hadn't bothered to check the website before leaving.
Never take good advice, if you think you know better.

All, done.. 50 spanking new rounds ready.

I am taking 8 guns to the fun shoot tomorrow, mainly as we are a small bore club and shooting on a full bore range, so I am taking my toys for other members to have a go, many of them have never tried full bore or black powder :-)

Ammo for sunday shoot all built, then you get in late saturday and check club website to find you have the wrong course of fire and need few more rounds, so end up building them til 1am sunday morning.

That moment when, you've spent the past two weeks handloading your rounds, packing your bags and then drive up to Sennybridge, only to be told that the shoot is cancelled due to the fog. What was worse was the fact it was August at the time.
