Worked on prepping some more WCC brass last night. I'm about half way finished with what I have... probably around 2500. I can do about 15 per minute, which is 900 per hour Eek I just wish I could stay focused for that long Smile I'm anxious to be able to start actually reloading though.

My Sako 75 in 300WSM is getting the barrel threaded for my Harvester suppressor. Once that gets finished I'll be ready to check the accuracy on it, so I really need to start working up some loads for it.

My best friend and his wife gave me a VERY nice Stack-On gun cabinet (not safe...cabinet) for Christmas last year. I finally...FINALLY...uncrated it yesterday and set it up in my spare bedroom; started putting the ammo that I've reloaded, boxed, and labeled over the past 6 months in it.

They don't call me Mr. Procrastinator for NOTHIN'!!! Cool

I went to the club the last 2 days to practice. Shot about 300 rounds.
I loaded 400 rounds to replace the ammo that I shot.
I would like to find some Unique powder. 4 pounds would be good

I got them a while back from NE Reloading, they are pulls but they do a good job on them. I have bought Fusion and HSTs from them and both have been good.

My fusions get loaded in nickel federal cases I got from them as well that were primed and sealed with a blue sealant.

Oh, I got to sort 9mm and .45acp bullets. Could have been worse, I guess. Could have been 9mm and .40cal!!

They (oddly) don't have any .40 S&W projectiles of ANY kind. Things that make you go "hmmmmmmm"...

About to go size, prime, & load 200 rifle rounds for the shoot tomorrow. Should only take about 5 hours. Ugh.

Long night ahead for you it sounds like.

I loaded 20 this evening for a practice tomorrow. 1/10th of what you gotta do.

Loaded up 60 rounds of .44 mag; 240 grain Montana Gold bullets over 21 grains of 2400 and 24 grains of H110, respectively. I'll be firing for effect tomorrow to narrow down what load my new-to-me Ruger carbine likes best.
