    Saturday morning I found three boxes of 7Mag brass mixed in with small calibers... In the tumbler it went. Later on Sat Night, I pulled it out and sized and primed 60 pieces for later loading!

    LOVE finding stuff I previously purchased! Its like its free!

    Cleaned my reloading bench and storage. Picked up 1k Winchester small rifle primers to try, 2lbs of W748, and a Dillon Quick Change for the 550. Dug down deep and made the budget stretch without touching "house" money.

    AMEN!

    Im packed in like a sardine can... I "find" stuff all the time!

    Yesterday I "found" 5-600 LC 30/06 Brass I knew I had but couldn't find... It was labeled 8MM Mauser with about 100 8MM Mauser that I reformed ON TOP!!!

    I tumbled it, but its pretty badly tarnished. Times like this I could use the steel pins. But haven't gone there yet. I de-primed about 200 this AM, annealed them at lunch time.

    Tonight I'll finish Uniforming the pockets, deburing the flash holes and form 6.5/06's out of them!

    Primed and flared 12 30/30 a.i. cases and when my lubrisizer finally heated up I lubed and sized some 9mm boolits with CR to .357 diameter. Then I got a call from my oldest son saying that his current GF ex husband fell out of a treestand and ended up dead. I suppose Lori & I will go to the viewing tonight.....

    Experimenting with .45 ACP loads.
    Everything is accurate with the NOE HG-68. Also prepping for some .223 loading.

    Dug up some forgotten .45 230gr XTP hp so I'm stuffing them over Unique in .45 ACP for SD/ hunting loads. I also found a LOT of 230 fmj to load. Come fall I'll cast some 200 swc and 230 tc and resume normal life.

    Sized and loaded a bunch of .35 Remington boolits that I had cast last week. Sized and primed a bunch of 44 Mag brass as well. Would have loaded them too, but the powder coat formed a giant boolit glob and they kept jamming up my sizing die. Might just cast some more...darn.
