Went to my LGS looking for 335 but ended up with 2# BL-C2. Ordered 500 62gr Federal Fusion bullets for a look-see and began the process of cleaning 1500 pcs 9mm range brass.


Just another day in paradise.

Unable to find an adequate supply of powder I like recently, I decided to add to my brass inventory in the form of loaded rounds! Bought 1k of Fiocchi 55gr 223Rem and 1k of Blazer brass 9mm. They've been placed in the reserve inventory, hopefully, I'll be finding legitimate powders soon. My Leverevolution in .223 experiment is currently on hold for some more time at the range, though a chrono has also been purchased for help with that. However, it looks like it will be at least another 3 weeks before I can get back to the range due to work and travel and I'm going to have to do some shotgun shooting to get ready for pheasants as well! If only I had more time!

Had my Dad check a gun shop in while he was out on the road. Came away with 6 lbs Tightgroup, 6lbs Blue Dot, and 2lbs CFE pistol for $340 out the door after tax.

Should keep me plugging along through the winter. Now if Brownells would get me my back-ordered primers...

Deprimed and ultrasoniced a batch of SP 45acp's. Sold my 1911 last week so I don't have a 45 anymore. Figured I'd load up the rest of the odd counts of bullets I have and give them to dad for his Glock 21. Next gun will be a P227 Tacops though. Big Grin Hopefully by Christmas.

Got 3k 9mm projectiles to load when I go on my next job in a few weeks.

Opened the door to the reloading room to put some gun cleaning supplies and whatnot in there. Looked at the stacks of boxes and groaned.

This weekend will be putting it all back together again. A chore I must do this weekend, since I have to shoot 3 gun Sunday am and need ammo for it....

A little PSA from my bone headed move this morning. Make sure the powder drain door is closed before you pour your powder into the Chargemaster Mad

Got my 500 (pulled) Federal Fusion 62 gr bullets today. Wife came in complaining about the heavy box in the mail box, wait until my 1000 124gr 9mm's get here. Big Grin

Loaded my last bits of 45 ACP brass, 144 Small primer with Winchester small magnum pistol primers and red dot under a 230gr plated.

No more 45 pistol so the next few months will be 9mm only.

It's not considered heavy until the mailman complains.

My last order from xtreme was 5k 230gr 45 and 5k 147gr 9mm. He was a little miffed.

Scored a 4 Lb. jug of Hi Skor-700X from Sportsmans Warehouse for $78.00.

First time I've seen powder in Sportsmans in a couple of years.

Edited to add:

They had thousands of rounds of CCI standard velocity .22LR. I think .22s are just about back as I'm seeing them just about everywhere now and at good prices.

Also sorted all my Misc. calibers brass.

Well it rained so I moved my LnL to the old "apartment bench" so I can take it with me to the next camp on saturday. This camp will be on the road system and the boss said I better bring something to entertain myself cause it will be boring.... Big Grin


Got about 4,000 9mm projectiles to load and some .223 to try out while I'm at camp in the off time.

Also mounted some aluminum "L" rod for akro bin hangers next to the press.

The MOVE is done. The unpacking, not so much.

A buddy offered me all the free 2x4s I could ever want. He bought a crap load when he built his house and has a LOT let over. So I think I'm going to be building a bench in the future. Use free 2x4s and buy a couple sheets of 3/4" plywood.

Did manage to shoot 3 gun yesterday. Someone brought a registered lower, so I got to do a mag dump with my suppressed sbr upper. That was pretty fuckin cool! Decided I don't need to buy one of those though. I'd waste WAY too much ammo. Lol

Every once in a while someone brings a F/A .223 to my range and dumps a 30 rounder. Immediately afterward, someone always says something like, "there went $15.00".

It's nice to live where you can have these, but I have no interest in paying for the ammo. It was a lot more fun in the Army where I got paid to do mag dumps.

Got home early so I took the opportunity to load another 200 rounds of 9mm.

Yeah, it was neat, and I was quite happy to have had the opportunity and the experience, but it was $20 to empty that mag. In maybe 3 seconds. If that. It was definitely neat, but I have no use for one. Having never been in the military, many people go their whole lives having never had that momentary thrill. I consider myself fortunate. And educated. Lol
