I havent done much lately because of yard work and catching up on other things. But I did get my Dillon dies for 9mm the other day and I have them in the machine up and running. Maybe today I will load a few more.

Yesterday morn before leaving for work I deprimed 100+ 357 cases.
Then later in the afternoon I ran those and some 38-55 through the SS pin tumbler.
That's about it for the past week or so.

No I have not Al, I stopped by the local Academy last week. They had both srp and spp, but nothing in large. I asked the counter guy about it. He said they had some lrp a few weeks ago.
And haven't visited the two real gunshops that deal in liading supplies all year.

I do have a pretty decent stash, but depending on price might grab some.
They will only sell 400 at a time.

Loveland Sportsman's Warehouse website shows they have Remington 9-1/2 and Federal #210 LRP. Best to call ahead to make sure though.

Nothing this week but myself and the 7 yo grandson loaded some 86gr cast boolits over 5.5 grs of 2400 in some 25-20 cases last week.
Then I let him empty a few, big smiles both times, especially in the unloading process. ;)

I noticed that the Hodgdon web site that lists their loading data now includes some data for subsonic and reduced loads in a lot of rifle cartridges. At first, I thought it was going to have a lot of data for using H4895, which is a powder that I haven't seen in a coon's age. To my surprise, there is reduced load data for the .270 Winchester that has a number of other powders, specifically FIFTEEN other powders! And H4895 isn't even on the list. I have a load I worked up with IMR4895 using the 120SST for my neighbor, and that shot to an inch at 100 yards in his Savage Axis. He's very happy with that load, but I had to try another. I loaded up that same 120SST with IMR4350, since I have it on hand. The data says it should be about 2500 fps, which is ideal for that bullet. We'll see how his rifle likes that next time he comes over to sling some lead with me.

H4895 is a very vestal powder I was able to score some several weeks ago. One thing about H4895 you can reduce the loads to 60% and still get good results.

I have a nearly full lb. of it in the back of the powder cabinet.
Not even sure what I used the little that is missing for.
The price on the lid is $28.95.
