    I originally put down up to 1000, but things are looking up here and I'm up into the 2000+ range, mostly 357 mag thru my Rossi R92 but 308 is starting to mount up now I've got my mold and the 30/30 is taking off too for the same reason.
    If I can count jacketed reloads and rimfire I can add another 500.
    In the last year I've gotten through 2 pounds of 2400 in 16 grain doses, a pound of RL7 in 23 grain 30/30 doses, half a kilogram of Lovex D036 in 9 grain 357 doses, a pound of Universal in 5.5 grain 357 doses, a half kilo of N-150 at 44 grains a time 308 and half a pound of CFE223 at 23 grains in 223 plus half a bottle each of Lovex D073.5 and D073.6 at 45 grains a time in 308. Not quite sure of the total rounds but those are the loads I've settled on, the 16 grains of 2400 is a cracking load for both 30/30 and 308 both at around 1600 fps. These figures include loads that are sitting waiting on me shooting them, must be 600 plus of various cals in my arsenal.
    Regards,
    John.

    This is when I went back to cap& ball. Percussion caps are even more scarce - but I can make those.

    I won't make centerfire primers until there is some way I can either buy or make the two metal parts - I'm not going to re-use old ones. If that day comes, I may go back to more modern shooting.
    Currently casting and loading: .32 S&W Long, .38 Special, 9X19, .357 Magnum, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, 10mm, 44 Special 44 Magnum. .223, 7.62x39, 7.62 x 54R, .30-06, 45-70, .32, .36, .44. .45. .50. .54. .58 and .60 round ball and various minies. And .375 heel crimped conical for those .36 conversions . KB6MRP on Discord

    Since the shutdowns, I haven't shot much at all.
