    Just got my K&M Neck Turning tools in. Tried them out on 82 pieces of 7.62x54R.

    Annealed, full-length re-sized, length trimmed, prepped necks, trued necks, tumbled.

    If this works, I've got 150 brand new PPU cases, and about 250 various used brass to process.....

    Went down to the shop, but didn't do any reloading today. Instead I sorted, priced, and boxed up some surplus items to put on my table at the local gun show this Sunday. Will take 6 or 7 guns along too just to see if people are buying. At most of our previous gun shows people seemed to be buying small and relatively inexpensive "trinkets" (dies, brass, bullets, moulds, etc.) but not so much the big ticket items like guns ...
    I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't reached my "Expiry" date!

    Capt. I need more insulation. But Tom we have to go light speed to sector lows and that could take 2 hours if ya don't get warp speed working.

    I'm retired now... no hurries here. It would be nice if I put some ceiling insulation in the shed. Sometimes I go in the evening when it's a bit cooler ( a relative term here in Alabama) and cast a few hundred.....

    I loaded a bunch of 380 for my wife's pistol and started priming 9mm cases. I ran out of small pistol primers, now I need to see if the small rifle primers I have will work.

    I loaded 100 9mm w/srp. Haven't been to shoot them yet, but I'm pretty sure that they will work. Seated just fine. I believe somewhere on this forum that there is a thread about it.

    I have been cleaning brass... I bought a large quantity of 40 Brass form a couple sources and they needed cleaning.

    Then I loaded up four ladder loadings for my 6.5 Grendel that I shot last Sunday.

    Then I have been sizing 40cal powder coated bullets.

    Cast some 158 gr rnfp and powder coated ‘em red. Loaded ‘em into highly polished brass for a cowboy shoot. Looked like a batch of lipstick.
