Bought a high intensity disposable led light on Amazon for $30 to illuminate my bench. I now can read those fine lines on my vintage lyman 55 scale. Supposedly will last for thousands of hours. Really throws some serious illumination.

Just finished loading 50, 45/70 Hornady JHP 300 gr, IMR 4198 40.5 gr. Starline brass, CCI primers. Still got 50 more to go,
then I'll be out of bullets. Got 100 on BO, but anybody's guess when that'll show up, if ever. I'm in good shape regardless.

I put a couple of those I got from Costco above my bench. Man are they great! At the risk of sounding foolish I would like to say they are the difference between night and day.

Now when I enter my room and hit the switch to the regular lights I feel like I’m entering a cave.

Got the 50 45/70 powdered, bullet seated, just need crimp, then done. Had to quit to watch Audie Murphy in Six Black Horses.
I have my priorities, LOL.

Finished my 45/70 loads. Now I've got 100 pcs Starline 45/70,
that likely need trimming.
Speaking of trimming. I found & ordered 2 cutters for the Hornady Cam trimmer. Like everything else, they are scarce.
They only had 5 in stock at Graf & Son. Randy do you need a back up?

No sir I don't own a 45-70, my Big bore is the mighty 444 Marlin.

Thanks for the offer though.

Went to the LGS to check the status of my Henry order and found they had some powder and primers. Bought some Alliant 300-MP powder for $25/lb and CCI small rifle primers for $8/100. Figured I would get what I could and put it in the cabinet with the rest. The powder states it is a magnum pistol powder and I was wondering if anyone had experience with it.

Loaded up 50 only 41 mag’s using H110. I saved some bullets in case I can find a pound of 2400 somewhere. I put the Bat-Signal out here locally for some 2400 and offered several other powders for a trade hoping to entice somebody into letting a pound go. I’m planning on getting my BBS out for another trip to the range and give it some more break in time.

CCI small rifle primers for $8/100.

I fully understand buying what you can, I would too since I am down primers, but I cannot begin to shout loud enough how criminal it is to take advantage of loyal customers and charging such an outrageous prices.

Not a lot gets under my skin, but I'm tellin ya, loyalty runs two ways, up and down.

(PS, give me a gold star for keeping it clean, it wasn't easy !)
