What did you do at your reloading bench today?

Went to the shop, looked around, had a couple of beers and said, "naw, not today". Back in the house and watched baseball. Monday I'll go at it again.
More 30-30 loads.

Funny, I did the same thing today. got to the shop picked up and cleaned up a bit. Sat in the chair and decided I'm at the point I have more need to shoot this stuff than to load it. Went to the living room and watched the ballgame.
I'll get out early next week and shoot (and I'll have a cigar then too!)

Must be something going around on this forum. I went to the "factory",that's what the wife calls my reloading area,sat at the bench, set my powder drop to 4.7 grains and said maybe tomorrow I'll load some.

I hear you, I need to get to my “unloading” bench. Too dam many projects here at home. Just now my wife was discussing moving a large area of river rock and putting grass in for the dog. Of course she does the discussing and I do the moving,

"Of course she does the discussing and I do the moving". Been there and still doing that!

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.

You better do some rain dancing down there Tom. Powell and Mead are about to run out of water

Well, this afternoon I sized, primed, and neck expanded 90 pcs. of 38-55 brass.
Rainy and wet out and I was bored...
