Found some WST and WSF at PowderValley, so ordered 4 pounds of each and 5k LR primers. I would still really like to find True Blue if a 4lb jug. Still need to get my 650 set up for 9mm so I can crank out some 147's and 165's.

Production has stopped until I get down to NJ on Weds. where I'll pick up 7000 bullets from Ibejihead. They will not last long.

Graf and Sons has individual #'s in stock

Cranked out these for a GSSF match this weekend...

After bumping into FN MT several days ago, it spurred me on for another load bench marathon.

600 rnds yesterday of 147 9mm for upcoming USPSA, 200 of precision .308, with more of each today

A trip to different local ranges for some trigger time, now back at it with the 9mm. I am loving my Springfield 9mm RO, but the match gun will be 9mm M&P Pro Core with RDS in Carry Optic Division.

120rds Dasher/105 Hybrids for a LR rifle match this weekend in Raton. Prepped another 250 pieces of Dasher brass for a match the following weekend, primed ready to load.

1000rds 9MM/147's. Loaded half last night, finish today.

In NJ visiting family and stopped by Ibejihead to pick up 7,000 of his 147 grain FP.

Even better was getting to chat with Alex, the owner. You couldn't find a nicer guy who supports the matches all over the east coast.

A great product and a great guy. Maybe I can talk him into blending my own signature color coating.

Deprimed, neck bumped, sized, polished, annealed, trimmed, deburred, chamfered, polished, primed 100 twice fired Lapua .308 brass.

Over the past week or so, reading every post on the last 77 pages of this thread! My eyes hurt.
I've also started to build my own wet tumbler, gleaning ideas from all over the gun forums and youtube.
I've been wet tumbling with the little 3 lb capacity Chicago tumbler for a couple of years...time to step it up a notch.

Anyone on here use the Harvey deprimer? Its a hand held device that lets you deprime while watching tv or whatever. I've only had it a few weeks and its not near as fast as a single stage press set up with a decapping die, but it allows more to get done during otherwise non reloading time spent with the fam.
Now I can hand deprime, wet tumble and hand prime without going near the reloading bench. When I go to the bench, I get more reloading done.

Loaded up 500 rounds of 9mm and 500 rounds of 40 cal.

Went to the range this morning and tested the 200 grain .45 RNFP bullets I ordered from Summers Enterprises a month or so ago to use in in my Ruger Blackhawks...I'll say it again...excellent bullet...

http://www.summersenterprisesl...45-200grrnfp-500.htm

Starting with 4.6 grains...4.8 grains next and settled on 5.0 grains of Alliant Clay Dot as the cleanest loading (Hodgdon Clays and Alliant Clay Dot function the same at the same charge weight...Hodgdon Clays might come off a little cleaner burning overall with the lighter charges but at 5 grains both were equally clean...light recoil as well as a very accurate load for CAS load in .45 Colt...

While I was there I picked up a Wendy's fast food bag to 3/4's full of .45ACP, 38 Special, 7.62 NATO as well as a few .40's and 9's...I'm seeing more and more once fired cases on the range...

I spent the afternoon separating brass and decapping and reaming the primer pocket crimp on th LC 7.62 NATO brass...

Over all a good day

Edit to add...Saturday I went to LGS and bought 2000 LPP for $60 OTD to replace those I have use since the last of the year.

I really love reading this thread

My WSF, WST, and LR primers came in. I really don't have any immediate use for these, but I just wanted to get them in my stock.

Got my 650 set up for 9mm. That was easy-peasy! Loaded up a handful of 165gr Xtremes that I need to chrono.

Ran some 357mag loads over the chrony. Decided on a basic load of 5gr Unique with a coated 158gr LSWC. Need to play with the 2400 a bit more. Getting about 850fps from the Unique load. That will be good for practice.

Went down to the reloading room to process some 223 brass. Saw a black widow on the reloading bench. Smashed it, but felt like I was being watched by a thousand black widow eyes planning an attack in retribution for their fallen sister. The heebie-jeebies was too much to handle, so I went back upstairs without doing a damned thing.

yesterday the ups truck pulled up and the driver blew the horn.
[Never done that before]
I go out and powder valley came thru with my powder.
She thanked me for carrying it back to the house.
Happy to have the backstock

Today, 200 rounds of 45 auto on my LNL AP. S&B primers (which were on sale a while back), HP38, and 100 ea of 200 gr SWC by Bayou and Blue Bullets. I do enjoy sitting at the bench and trying different "recipes."

Setup my latest blue purchase...Dillon RF100 and loaded a few 45 acp. I hate loading primer tubes. This should save time for those long sessions.

300 Campro 124gn RN + CFE...

Set up my new Lee LoadMaster this week and loaded up 100 rounds of .223. Tested 50 of the first 100 today at the range and they worked great. First time loading .223 and I have about 1400 more cases to load up.

I've been loading 9, 40, 38 Special, 357 Mag, and 300 Blackout on a Lee Turret press for about 18 months and decided it was time to upgrade and start loading for volume.

Cleaned, neck-sized 35 or so 6.5CM pieces I shot at the last match. Still waiting for the scores! C'mon damnit!

Oh, also turned the scale on so it could warm up. Exhausted! Had to struggle back to the computer to tell you about it.
