Familiar setting for many of you, all the way down to the Pioneer stereo, but with MORE to take in:

I best straighten that bench up; starting to get cluttered. Spend some time there tho. Thanks Evan. If I keep both towels in the shop, they're safe. Wife NEVER goes there, 'cept to back her car out. 8-)

Oh, it works great! Well, not really, but, good little gadget holders. Tastes good too. Dice it up in scrambled eggs, a bit onions, some mushrooms, gooood stuff.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Spam is like duct tape and Windex. Millions of uses, all good!

Hmmm, out of the spam can and back to rifles. Very nice looking rifles and forum rags! Shot them yet? The rifles, not the wrags. How do they shoot?

Mags, they both shoot very well. Really not much load development with either cartridge. 8.0gr Unique, 250gr LRNFP, Starline brass and Win LPP. [.45 Colt]. For the .357 BB brass, it's 12.0gr 2400, coated 158gr LRNFP, Starline & Win brass.
Both bullets are Missouri bullets. Easy to load and shoot. Hope that helps.

That bench just shows what probably most (if not every) reloader has come to learn, that you just can't have too many containers around!

I can't hardly bring myself to throw away anything of any size that has a lid, and one of my shooting buddies from NE brought me a box of reloading "stuff," including a decades-old glazed, 1/2 cup-sized, open-top ramekin, which is just what I needed!

I guess there's a fine line between being a conscientious recycler and a pack-rat,huh?
