Tumbled some mixed brass. Haven't even sifted it yet.

Sized some 357 brass, was going to do some 44's but, no hurry for them.
Probably load those 357 this evening.

Stared at the bench for about 5 seconds, went back in the house and watched "Saving Private Ryan". What a movie! Then homemade chicken enchiladas. Gooood!

I don't have any more room in my ammo cabinet for reloads; I need to shoot more. Recently, I bought a set of dies dedicated to .38 specials (so I won't have to adjust my .357 dies anymore - just cuz) and a powder trickler to make weight adjustments quicker. I always weigh each round and had used a small dipper to tap flakes of powder into the pan, which was often time consuming.

Finished up a batch of 50, 9mm. Got about 400 more empty brass. Think I'll let it rest for a while. Waiting on a part for my press, then start on some 45/70.

No loading today, but I did change the grip frame on the 45 Vaquero, it's now a bird's head.
Gonna search flea-bay, and see if I can find something I like.

I usually get powder at the Reloaders Bench in Mt. Juliet, distance about 1/2 hr or so, one way. In there yesterday. Of course, I usually come out with a bag full of other stuff. Can't seem to break that habit, LOL.
