    Thumbs up Stocked up I guess

    Thanks to everyone who helped me over the long haul. Still learning more about casting and lubing. Just finished up my latest casting/loading marathon (to me). Here is a picture of what the past couple of weeks rendered.

    4900 9mm
    1750 .45 acp
    400 .38
    400 .357

    Several hundred 230 grain .45 acp still cast and waiting, couple of thousand .38/.357 waiting their turn to be loaded. over 400 lbs of WW ingots left. Need more powder and primers from the next gun show.

    Thanks all.

    I would call that an adequate supply. I'd recommend more .38 special though.
    How is your primer supply holding up??

    I have no problem getting primers or powder. We have gun shows often around here so I just take a bag and a pocket of cash. The prices of primers hover around $35 for sm/lg pistol. I powders use are H110, HP38 and Tight Group and the price per lb. is about $20. Last time I got some powder that was miss marked. HP38 and TG for $14 a lb. Ya, sure, I got all they had at that price. Yes I slept good that night.
