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.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
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.

Was in my LGS in Lethbridge and they are well stocked. Lots of ammo and shelves of primers. Pistol and rifle. Cleaned him out of lead balls and T7 powder.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Nothing at the bench, per se, but did luck upon 100 Hornady 300gr. JHP bullets I have had on BO since Jan 12. These were at Midway,
limit (2), which is what I needed to fill my brass. The BO is on Midsouth Shooters. I'll leave it there, maybe they'll show up some of these days.
Pays to be persistent & keep looking everyday. Stock is scarce & this is a FCFS business, snooze & loose.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
I'm using 23.0 gr of Norma 201 powder, CCI BR primer, and Norma brass (from factory loads). I shoot them through my Ruger American All Weather with a Burris 9 powered scope. It's a very accurate rifle for a the price point.Hatchdog wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 10:35 amHi Jake,Shakey Jake wrote: ↑Tue Apr 06, 2021 7:59 pmLoaded up 60 rounds of 69gr Sierra HPBT .223 rounds this afternoon.
