I haven't sat down at my bench since fall. Starting on some 9mm loads today... I have a bunch of Universal and 124 grain Berry's round nose. Starting with 4 grains and an oal of 1.15, mixed brass. Loaded 10 rounds to start with and we'll see how they do... WOW, the last time I had a loading session it was loading 45-70.... 4 grains of universal seems like a tiny bit of dust compared to 55 grains of 4895! :lol:

More power to ya if you can load 9mm Greyhawk. I quit doing it even though I can. The price to buy them is nearly what you can load them for and that doesnt count the time to do it.

Ha! ya, its a tough decision! But, believe it or not 9mm is drying up in my neck of the woods again, not sure why.. The shelves are empty of 9mm at my favorite local outlet.. Maybe just a temporary blip. I'm sure I could buy it all over the place online... But, I thought it would be good to have a couple of pet loads ready to go In case ammo supplies really did disappear again like they did a few years ago.

Well, today, I started back reloading for my Walther PPS M2 9mm. Using Hogdon CFE Pistol powder, 5.2 grs. Hornady 124gr XTP JHP,
CCI 500 primer. Got a few hundred loaded up, some time back, got 500 more to go. Don't get to shoot a lot, so it'll last me a while.
Relaxing doing it tho, mostly a hobby for me to pass the time, when weather, etc is too bad to get outside.
I rarely ever buy a rifle, but when I do, it's a Henry.

Already tumbled the .22 Hornet brass I shot this morning. I'll resize and prime this evening. Hopefully, after cooking supper, I'll have time to add powder and bullets.

Finished off a couple errands this morning[yeah, honey do's], now, to the bench to load up some more of those RR .45 Colt load: 7.0gr Universal/250gr LRNFP bullets. I'm likin' that load along with my standard 8.0gr Unique and same bullet. Variety, the spice of life!
