What did you do at your reloading bench today?

Brunix, nice set up. Yes, you got to be careful when downloading for the 300 Win Mag. It is a great cartridge and is particular on how low it wants to go. Good Luck with your range testing.

Just noticed this AM, I ordered 100 Hornady 300gr. JHP for the 45/70 back on Jan. 12, 2021, still on B/O. No relief insight.
Of course, I was aware of this when I ordered them, but might as well get my name in the pot.
Just another day in paradise, LOL.

Yes no doubt these new to loading are getting a good taste of reality.
I myself feel lucky to be sitting pretty well on a confrontable amount of supplies.
Heck the other night I was cleaning up under the bench, pulled out some walnut media that I don't use anymore.
Took it to a friend down at the river, he still has a vibrating cleaner.
While rearranging I found a large coffee can about one third full of primed 45 acp brass.that I had forgotten all about.

Key word......”primed”

Exactly.
In today's market, especially.
The primers are probably worth more than the brass it's self.

I finished trimming, resizing, flaring, 50 pcs , 45/70 Starline brass. Got 50 more to do, then drop all in the wet tumbler.
Think I'll wait until I get the bullets before priming. Looks like that's gonna be a while.
Not a problem, I've got plenty.

Bought a box of 1000 Winchester 205 shot shell primers for $60 at my LGS today. He posted he was getting powder, primers. 9 mil and 45 acp today. Powder and primers were for shotguns and saw 50 rounds of 9 mil for $31, but I don't need any and did not notice what brand. Place was filling up when I left.

Ernie, I was at my LGS today also. The shelves were pretty bare; no bullets, no primers and no powder. Bought a couple of .357/38 plastic cartridge holders and a can of Ballistol. Rick is hoping a bullet and powder delivery will come in next week. Primers, no clue yet.

Guns and ammo were pretty scarce. Had maybe 20 different powders, mostly shotgun, but the only primers today were 205 shotgun primers. Did have a used Uberti 1873 12 shot 22 pistol for $430. Nice shape but I really don't need one although it has my prints on it.

Noticed today, some of the online suppliers have some Hornady Flex tip bullets in stock. No idea how long it'll last. Better hurry.
