Scored 7k Tula small rifle primers for $140.

Worked on Reloading Inventory some more. This app is going to be the death of me, I swear. But it's kind of fun, so I really don't mind. It's starting to pick up steam, too. Averaging just over 3 installs per day. It's interesting looking at the purchase console. It shows you the zip code of the purchaser. I can clearly see guys downloading it, and then telling their buddies, because the following day there will be one or two downloads from nearby zip codes. Love it! Big Grin

Spent two hours until I could not take it any longer, sorting 9mm brass so as to sort out crimped brass from uncrimped........UGH

Moved all the brass I'd been collecting and I'd been given into pails and freezer bags (in pails). Broke-down and placed in the recycle bin all the cardboard. Bundled-up and tossed all the styrofoam round holders. Moved all the reloading gear I'd been gifted into plastic storage bins (for now) and racked 'em. Broke-down the boxes, prepared them for the recycle bin. Cleaned everything up.

Did more reloading research Smile

(Some day I plan to actually, you know, start reloading...)

Made 50 rands of 243 with Winchester brass, CCI primers, Sierra 95gr SMK and had to use some Hybrid 100V cause I ran outta Varget. Hope this powder works well.

Gotta wait until Monday when I get a day off to go shoot it.

I cleaned off some of my bench. THAT was long overdue!

Now I can go back to sorting brass.

Loaded up 500 .45 ACP with 200 gr LRN on the 550 today. A friend hasn't yet put his bench together, so after watching him struggle with getting anything done, I sent him home and cranked 'em. LOL, he was kinda in the way of my being able to finish some indoor pistol loads.
