    Got my turret installed on to my new bench and cranked out 100 45 ACPs. Felt good to load up a few rounds and replenish my dwindling supply of loaded ammo.

    Will finish out the 500 or so projectiles over the next couple days. Then I have to setup my casting station -- I've got a whole lot of large pistol primers so will be shooting some 45 ACP for a little while.

    My second casting session today. Much shorter session with many more perfect boolits‼️‼️ When I get to culling them I’ll have pictures. Need 200 more 150 gr. 10mm popers for next weekend.

    Went to a yard sale two weeks ago and bought some loading items. The lady’s father passed away a while back and he had a bunch of stuff. Got to talking with her and she asked if I could help her with the sale of the stuff. I will have a lot of stuff to put up for sale as soon as I can get it separated and priced. Will put the items on the for sale pages soon.

    I loaded a few 38-55 and a few 30-06 and watched my dwindling supply of IMR 4198...dwindle some more.
    I'm seeing quite a bit of other powders for sale- but no IMR anything.

    Loaded up some test rounds form my new accurate arms 40–150H mold. To the range to test them bright sunshine seems to hinder my choreograph so I fired a few rounds over the top to see if it was going to work and grazed it. New Chrono gone. Have 150 boolits ready to get loaded up for a shoot on Saturday.

    A few bottles of X-Terminator arrived yesterday and I loaded a few 223, my first bottle neck cartridge. After loading straight walled pistol cartridges for years I had to buy a few things besides dies. A primer pocket swager for one. An unexpected bonus is it also works as a gauge so I know when a primer pocket is too lose and the brass needs to be tossed.

    I recently moved into a new house and my "What have you done in the loading room" is mostly opening boxes and organizing things. I bought an 8' bench to put in the middle of the new room like an island. The plan is to use it for brass sorting and prep. I like the Maple Butcher Block top well enough that I ordered another one for my loading bench. I'm on hold until it arrives.

    Been loading .30-40 krag and 6.5x55 for next Saturday’s BAMM at my monthly cas club’s shoot. Wearing my Spanish American War outfit. Remember the Maine. Going to try shooting my 1896 SRC Krag. Might try a stage with my new to me ‘96 Swede.

    Since I haven't found a muzzle resizer for my .38 Special tong tool set, I made one. Bored and reamed a random 310 die from the "orphan dies drawer" to .500 I.D. and pressed in a .375" (3/8) hardened drill bushing from McMaster. Works like a charm.

    Rolled up two boxes of 38 spl: Lee 148 gr wadcutter, 3.0gr Bullseye, and my new Servicios and Aventuras (SyA) primers. This will be my test run on the new primers. Others have reported good results with them. I was just glad to get primers of any description.
