    I loaded 100 rounds of match 38 special target wadcutters in RP wadcutter brass provided by two generous gentlemen on this site. I hope to try them out soon.

    Installed a .38 SUPER barrel in my mid-size RIA .22 TCM/9mm M1911. I had tried installing the 5" full-size barrel in it, but because of the difference in the part of the barrel that holds the link & link pin, the guide rod stuck out slightly and that resulted in me not being able to rotate the barrel bushing.

    Loaded just over 250 357mag rounds, 150gr RN, Mixed brass, WW primers, and CFE Pistol powder.
    Then poured around 500 more 150gr RN and will probably pour another 600 more today so I can PC up just over 1k this weekend.

    Not 'in' the reloading room, but 'for' the reloading room; ordered a bunch of X-Lox liquid lube to make up some Ben's Liquid. Have a good number of ingots made up and plan (at least, hope) to do my first bullet casting within the next week or so.

    Is that 75 grains a typo..? (Never loaded anything lighter than 110 in 38 or 357 myself.)

    So far today I walked into the reloading room and checked on my 357/38 projectile stash. It was lacking very much so. I broke down grabbed some Jword bullets. 200 bucks worth will last me the year. So I will restock with 5k 158g for now and keep shopping for lead locally. I am not sure where all the lead is going in my area but I can not get my hands on any.

    Not in the reloading room but I did build this fast. Still need to finish the seat so picture the seat done.

    Did a little case prep for 35 Rem and tossed them in the cleaner with a few 300 Savage cases. Will load them up tomorrow for the next load test range trip.

    Some of my favorite recipes start out with a handful of depleted counterbalance devices.

    Loaded up the 35 Rem cases for Scopekiller, 300 Savage cases still need more cleaning.

    weight sorted some 224 boolits. not a lot of fun. Had to use my mechanical scale as my cheap digital won't weigh the same boolit the same twice in a row.

    I would toss that scale in the trash can.
