I am curious how often everyone's cranking out loads. I'm usually at it every weekend during hunting season, maybe once a month otherwise. My buddy goes full hermit mode and loads 500 rounds in one marathon session, then disappears for months. What's your rhythm? Daily grind or weekend warrior? Let's see who's really addicted here
How often y'all hit the reloading bench?

I've got so much backed up that I haven't touched mine all year. Also, been shooting a lot more 22LR, 22WMR, and 9mm (which I don't handload). Haven't had the 38 spl's, 44 spl's, and 45 Colts out all year, either. No shoot, no brass to work on.
Haha I feel this one. For me, reloading's kind of like a reset button after a long work week... some folks hit the gym, I just crank out a batch of .308 and call it therapy.I know a guy who treats it like his exercise routine too, every Saturday morning without fail, coffee on the bench and brass in the tumbler. Meanwhile, I've also got a buddy like yours... he'll go missing for a whole season, then show up bragging he just loaded half a year's worth of ammo in one sitting. Guess it just proves we all have our own rhythm. Some sweat it out on a treadmill, some sweat it out resizing brass... either way, stress gets burned off 
When you're shooting cheap .22 and factory 9mm, the reloading bench gets pretty lonely, those wheelgun cartridges are fun to load though when you get back to them
That's the truth right there, reloading is cheaper than therapy and way more relaxing than the gymHaha I feel this one.

Same here, saturday mornings are perfect for it. Those marathon sessions would drive me crazy, plus I'd definitely screw something up after round 300

It's sporadic here at best. Have loaded 38 special lately for practice, want to do more rifle as the season will be soon upon us.
Usually evenings when I can and if I'm not tired.
