Decapped,sized and trimmed 100 .556 cases. Got them rotating in tumbler now.

Took advantage of the cool weather and turned 35 pounds of cowboy action range scrap into 1000+ 230 grain truncated cone .45 bullets...
Hope to do the same thing tomorrow...and the next day...
Then the sizing and lubing begins

Stopped by the range this afternoon,and "made" about 200 empty cases that I now need to reload.

Yesterday, wet tumbled and dried 10lbs of dirty 9mm brass, trimmed about 200 and today loaded 775 rounds of 9mm match ammo on a single stage press. Have to start building up next years USPSA match ammo.

Cut the crimp out of 1000 primer pockets with an RCBS Crimp remover tool and my drill motor. Received 500 Federal HST 230gr 45 cal bullets.

Put some upgrades on my two 650's Replaced the ski jump primer ramp, with a catcher and the spent primer cup with a tube and jar. Will make the process a lot cleaner.

Ordered both for my 650 on Friday...I also have another box still pending from Brian Enos that will allow me to finish my set up.....Mark

I traded 1,300 clean .40 S&W once fired cases for almost 4 pounds of 2400 powder in a cardboard container.

Long story, but I was the original owner of that powder purchased in 1972 and it's seen -40 Degrees Fahrenheit in Alaska and +140 Degrees Fahrenheit stored in a storage shed here. I'm going to go shoot some of it up in a .410 bore next week next to some .410 bore loaded with 2400 powder purchased 3 months ago.

There won't be any discernable difference, but I'm going to do it anyway.

went looking for some rl17 for my 308. picked up 4 pounds in two different locals.

Just whipped out a quick 200 220gr blackout subs on the 650. Runs like a top now that I've got it all dialed in. Need to run a few hundred more to finish off that box of bullets, then I need to run maybe 1k of 223, then switch over to 9mm and do load development for 147s. My pistol cans were approved last week, expecting a call from the dealer and day now......

Stopped at three different locations this past week looking for pistol powder.

Nope.

Loaded rounds for next weekend's f class match.

Been up this way at all lately? Checked Midwest?

Finished setting up my new Dillon 650xl, set up my powder charge and ran 80 rounds of various charges to test.

Hopefully one of the charges will work well in my Sig 1911 and I'll do another couple hundred later this week.

No. Up around the 20th for a spell. Will stop at Cabelas, there and the place by OSH.

My local LGS was a great honey hole. Unfortunately owners wife is pretty ill and hes not been open much. Ive stopped by to say hello, but bugging him about powder is down the list. I doubt if hes had time anyhow.

Your local lgs? Do they have an atm machine? And a department of redundancy department sign?

Picked up a bottle of H110 and CFE Pistol at a store we had not gone to.

They had about 50 different powders, it was shocking.

I am damn sick of loading 45 apc's,been at it for three days now.
I load till my ass gets sore and wander off to do other things.Second brick of wolf is down to two boxes.
I still got a few hundred to get next years supply done.

Damn, 45 Cal isn't going to let the police out-militarize him, he bought 45 freakin' APCs!

You load for the whole year in one big batch? That must be very time consuming.

Filling 45 apcs would take a lot more than could be loaded in one sitting, methinks.
