Dropped ~950 Bullets On The Floor

[Squaregrouper]

My plan was to transfer a 1000rd lot of 9mm/.357 Sig projectiles from the RMR plastic bag to a plastic "shoe box".
I was 11 or 12 when I learned about a fulcrum and levers. At age 47, apparently that information was lost.
I am done reloading and have switched to drinking. I will clean it up after work tomorrow.

Look on the bright side, you didn't drop all of them!

 

[DutchV]

Pics or it didn't happen...

 

[Squaregrouper]

I would, but someone would come along and claim I didn't account for the situation the bullets were in and claim I was...
Never mind.

 

[hdatontodo]

Yeah. Pics with feet.

 

[lowoncash]

950?
Is that anything like Rainman counting the toothpicks?

 

[Jmorrismetal]

246 toothpicks, definitely 246, definitely.

 

[Biggfoot44]

Nine hundred fifty bullets on the floor, Nine hundred fifty bullets on the floor
Pick one, and pass it around
Nine hundred forty nine bullets on the floor

So you got 50 loaded up before that happened.

Success.

For some additional holiday enjoyment, I highly recommend the exercise of pulling the handle on a MEC when out of sequence, and dumping charges of 8 shot onto the floor. It’s just like hitting the jackpot on a slot machine! The joy is utterly indescribable!

One of the few things that makes me go back to smoking - er, cigarettes.

I might as well add one. For even more holiday enjoyment, I recommend leaving the powder empty spout open on your Chargemaster and pouring fresh power in. It's the gift that keeps on giving, even after the jackpot has been spent!

I may or may not have seated a bullet with my powder measure once

Was that one slightly compressed?

Shat happens buddy.

My last mistake at the reloading bench was loading up case with no primer in them. I think I got to case #4 before I noticed the powder slipping onto the floor.
Then when using the inertial bullet puller, forgetting I should put tape on the back, having the powder fly around during the hitting of the hard surface.
ugg.

Its good to know when to take a break.....

50 left in the plastic bag

50 left in the plastic bag

Or as Raymond Babbitt would say, "82, 82, 82."

...or seeing that Mr. MEC is out of sequence, flipping the bottles off to correct the sequencing, and THEN remembering you didn't put the plug back in the bottle top yet. Doesn't matter which bottle you filled last, the result is just as pleasing.....

Funny story, a shooting buddy of mine was shooting the Remington Classic this year and pulled the last round out of the box, pulled the trigger and click. Only to find out that there was no primer seated. He contemplated seating the primer with the bolt face LOL, glad he decided against it.


Worst part, all he had to do was HIT the target to lock a win.

This reminds me a bit of an old thread dedicated to finding out how many rounds really were in a Remington 550 round pack.
