Finally finished up the batch I started last week.
Powder drop works much better cleaned, just like all of the press.
1500 more 45 ACP loaded up, inspected boxed up and labeled.
Started loading a little after 08:00, finished everything 00:00.
Managed to get in loading time between chores and then hanging out with my daughter.
Load 200, then back in the house until I couldn't take it any more and headed back out for some more reloading time.
Worked out pretty well.
Loaded 50 rounds of 300BO 150gr, prepped another 170 cases for tonight.

Thanks Yall!
My problem is that I keep buying more "stuff"!
I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't reached my "Expiry" date!
Today I'm in here sorting brass, cleaning brass, and pulling down some junk ammo for the bullets ... then I'll put some more "stuff" on the new shelves ... which are quickly filling up!
(And yes, I have a second computer system setup down here in the "Man Cave" so that I can "keep in touch" with the outside world ...)

LOL me too. Wife caught me with a USPS MO in my pocket yesterday. "More brass on the way?" Yes ma'am.....My problem is that I keep buying more "stuff"!

Oh ... and I'm just admiring the 3 "new to me" Lee 6 banger moulds that arrived in the mail yesterday! Three rifle moulds in .310, .312, and .323. Christmas came early to my house ...

I swept and picked up the quart of spent primers that I knocked off the bench, where they had no business being. By then my back was saying "No More", so I gave up.
Information not shared. is wasted.
lol those spent primers going all over the floor is how my wife was sold on a press upgrade. Still find those dang things just about everywhere no matter how many times I vacuum.

That's why you should not have carpet in your reloading area.lol those spent primers going all over the floor is how my wife was sold on a press upgrade
When my reloading room was one of the rooms in my house, I had stone floors, so sweeping up things was no big deal. Now, my reloading "shack" has wall-to-wall carpeting and when something gets lost in the carpet, it really gets lost.
Day two of the sorting 5 gallon bucket of .223 brass by headstamp. Do a bit in the evenings while watching TV or the news. Hope to get two buckets sorted and into bins on my brass shelves. Have to work sort of fast to avoid annoying better half too much with my junk in front of the TV. Give her a break from looking at it, then bring up the other bucket
Scrap.... because all the really pithy and emphatic four letter words were taken and we had to describe this source of casting material somehow so we added an "S" to what non casters and wives call what we collect.
Kind of hard to claim to love America while one is hating half the Americans that disagree with you. One nation indivisible requires work.

I alsoreload, cast, etc. in the garage, store my ammo there also. So today I put up 650 45 acp in vacuum bags. Keeps them dry in the Game humidity.
ONE SHOT, ONE KILL! SEMPER FI
Georgia humidity. I hate auto correct!

A new caster and friend brought over his new Lee 4-20 pot with a 6 cavity tumble lube 9 mm mold and a 2 cavity 230-308 mold for his first casting session. We made about 400 of the big boys and about 250 of the 9's. It was really enjoyable to watch him cast his very first boolits. Now to powder coat them on his next visit.
I sat around my reloading bench and thought about how much money I have saved over the years while drinking a couple of Coors lights and watching crime TV channel.
I need to shoot more so I can reload more.

JUST GOTTA LOVE THIS JOINT.
You do understand that shooting more leads to reloading more. Sort of a circle of virtuous life. Not to mention helps keep the economy going, employs people and is all around good for the country. At least that is what I tell my wife when the box of "goodies" arrives on the doorstep.

I hear you and share your pain. I have 500 rounds of 9.3x74R once fired Norma brass on it's way over from Germany to reform into .40-90 Ballard and 3" brass .410 cases (... that will probably be fun when it arrives at Canada Customs ...) and I finally broke down and ordered an Annealeze automatic annealing machine which is on its way up to me from Florida. And then I wonder why I keep running out of room down in the "Reloading Cave" ...

Loaded all my prepped 300BO cases and primed a few more...completed 230! Now if the weekend would get here a little faster that would be great.
