    I'm starting work on some cedar handles for some HSS LR/SR primer pocket reamers I picked up the other day. Getting the cedar trimmed down to 1-3/8" diameter and assembling the hardware I intend to use is as far as I got today.

    Those look awfully familiar Newtire! I've been helping a buddy with his 5.7 Spitfire Kurz boltgun project:



    They just need to be trimmed and neck-turned. What are you feeding them through, Newtire, an M1 or something else?

    In the shop not the loading room. Started stamping identifying letters on a 3000# pile of wheel weight ingots. Probably about half through.

    Loaded about 300 .44MAG Cowboy Loads.

    Finally set up the 1st set of HORNADY L-N-L bushings for those dies. Set up the dies for .44SPL, then used the REDDING .44 cal spacer washers to raise the dies up to load .44MAG. Those washers for .44 & .38/357 are fantastic.
    Do the .38/357 next.
    I HATE auto-correct

    Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.

    My Experience and My Opinion, are just that, Mine.

    Load and test some Acme 100gr RNFP in my Ruger 32H&R Mag's. I used Unique at 2.5gr and they were well under the expected velocity. Going to bump them up some and see what happens as the recoil was very light. I did crimp them long in the groove so that may be the answer to why they were slower than expected.

    Almost forgot, one of my bosses gave me a Folgers Coffee Can full of .40 Brass and most of a pound of Power Pistol. I am tumbling the brass now.

    Worked with my Redding Turret press and a universal decapping die. De-capped about 100 pieces of .300 Blackout brass. Going to clean them tomorrow, load them Monday.

    Melted about 800 bullets I no longer shoot and casted about 200 45-70s. Loaded up about 50 rounds of 357 to shoot a little tomorrow.

    Flared my Winchester 30/30 brass , so now it's ready to load. I have a LOT to prime and load. It will keep me busy for a while. My Federal and RP brass went back into storage.
