    Filing a dovetail for a new front sight on my Arizona BIL's Ballester Molina. The staked combat sight is somewhere in the desert. I staked it in 20 odd years ago but apparently not good enough.....
    This one will stay put.

    De-primed and tumbled another short batch of .303 British tonight. At least this time around, they were all boxer primers.

    What's reloading?

    Oh....right.....that ancient process were one had brass, powder, PRIMERS, and projectiles and put them all together to make cartridges for guns & rifles.

    By the time all that "stuff" comes available again, many will be either deceased or will have forgotten how to do it!

    Trying to get the reload room organized, try to figure out what powders to make loads for first, save the unobtanium powder for later(like Varget).

    Put the finishing touches on a batch of 50 gr .224 cal bullets I swaged from .22 RF hulls. Did a final tumble polish & dry. I hope to get my .222 dialed in after the first of the year,
