    Ahh, come on Chris, you don't need to! I like helping out members here and I had an abundance of what you needed. I was just glad I had it for you.

    Been on a weird bender...
    I've been doing brass prep on 350 legend and 308 for a week or so and started loading the past two nights. Last night was 250 350 legend and tonight was 200 308. I think this will continue until I run out of brass or the wife starts wondering where I have gone off to...

    Loaded a whole mess of 308. I am down to my last lb of varget but I have some SW Precision Rifle to start working with. In my experience (limited) it is identical. Kind of like W296 and H110.

    So you are saying SW Precision Rifle is similar to Varget, Right? When anyone mentions H110 while talking about a 308 Rifle I kind of get the willies.

    SW Precision Rifle is similar to Varget. It actually looks/smells the same and my test load velocities are very similar.

    Agreed - H110 in a big rifle case is no good...

    I put together a dozen plinking rounds for my Krag. 9 grains Unique with 150grLee flat nose pc'd. About 1300 fps from Lymans Krag in their 45th edition. I predict fun.

    I am trimming hundreds of 357 brass .08 shorter so I can later load them with semiwadcutter hollow points and h110.

    We have friends who are moving to Illinois to be closer to their grandkids. He called up and said he had a present for me because he said the moving company wouldn't move them. So I found homes in my shop for: 225 primed 45 ACP cases, 2500 primers of assorted flavors, 1 lb Bullseye, 1 lb CFE 223, 1 lb Unique and a partial can 4064.

    Since my right arm is still recovering I used my left to size maybe 150 130g 9mm bullets. I'm attacking the job the same way I would eat an elephant, one bite at a time.

    The Green Frog came to visit for a week and inspired me to do some work in the reloading room. I sized and lubed about 1500+ dbl ended .38 wadcutters. They are boxed labeled and ready to go! My drop ceiling is "dropping" and a repairman is coming tomorrow to fix it. I had to clean off my reloading bench to allow him room to work. The benefits are going to be great. After the repairs my bench will be clean and ready to go with my two Dillon 550B's along with my RCBS Rock Chucker ready to "hit it".

    I have been hard at work rearranging part of my loading room. That is GOOD!
    FWIW

    Broke the shop Vac out today, the Garage/Reloading Room needed cleaning the spider webs, dust and spent primers needed removal (wife was getting on my case about dragging spent primers in the house (they scare her when her vacuum picks them up (she thinks they are going to explode.

    This is the first time in many years I haven’t loaded in three or four months. Not a single round . Getting lazy I guess. Want to go out and cast 100 lbs of assorted 9 mm and 38 bullets. I have I thank every lee mold they make in thes two calibers so I got a lot of casting to do.waiting for it to get below 85 or so

    Cleaned about 800 223 cases in my Frankford tumbler. Set them out to dry in the sunshine to dry. They turned out beautiful also. Now deprime, clean pockets and check for military crimp, and trim what needs to be trimmed. Going to have a little help also, my wife wants to learn the process. That’s a good thing.
