Got 100 pcs Starline brass, trimmed, lubed, sized, flared, & in the wet tumbler. Can't do anymore until my bullets are shipped, which have been on BO since Jan. 12.

Edit: Cleaned & set aside til bullets arrive. :(

I'm going to load some .223 Remington later today. I've got about 250 small rifle primers left. I'm going to load about 25 I think.

My bench has been cleared till further notice ( no bullets). Did make the rounds of my online suppliers today. "Out of stock", the standard result. The only bullets available were the Hornady Flex tip stuff & the dangerous game type. Not a lot of T-Rex sightings here.

Well I finally scored a brick of Federal small pistol primers. The LGS had 60 boxes and posted on the Facebook page this morning. Paid through the nose vs. pre-COVID, $89.99, (OK, $90)! Also picked up a bottle of WST which I use for 45 ACP at a more reasonable $25.
Popular rifle powder is still scarce around here. That's getting to be my pinch-point now.

Out of curiosity, what were they asking for the primers?
