Her discussion starts off with "We should...".
So many of us are still there! Dare not say anything or else the reloading gear gets auctioned off while we sleep!!

Loaded 3 loads of 10 each for .243 Win. using 90 gr Nosler BT blems. Centered them around my go-to load for 85 gr. Sierra GK using 42.5 gr of IMR 4831. Haven't found the 85s for months. So, I'll start again with what I could get. Can't be too much difference, (he said unknowingly!)

Think I'll load up some 30-30 using 30.5 and 31.0gr IMR4064 with 150gr RN Rem Core-Loc bullets. About 10 each and see how they do.

Never used that powder, but I hear it's pretty good in some lever guns.
Be awaiting your range report.

The desert decided to heat up a bit early, so, will have to go to mountain range sometime this week. Shoot the Ranger and Pietta. Pietta will use both .45 auto and .45 Colt cylinders. Maybe one of the .22lr rifles. I need trigger time.

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.......

Good to hear. Bet a week ago you would not have had any desire to process that much brass. Glad you’re feeling better.
