Took a look at my stash of 45 ACP ammo and realized I was running low. (Well at least by my standard of low.) So I decided to load up 500 rounds to put back on the shelf. No problem since I had plenty of clean brass waiting to be filled with primers, powder and bullet. Now i feel better and I should have enough to get me to the end os summer.

I've been picking up my reloading room. I'll likely have another day of organizing and clean up. So far today I've put 4 presses on quick change plates, installed a new inline fabrication mount. I put away most of the swaging dies and the sizing dies. I need to clean off the second reloading table tomorrow and get things organized there.

Once all the guests head home, I need to clean some brass and anneal some others for swaging.

I went thru all my stuff and sorted out items I no longer need such as die sets for calibers I no longer shoot. Hopefully I can put this stuff in the sale and move them out.

Primed 1200 cases of 38 special. Received my order from Raven Rock.
1,000 sig 45 acp primed brass,
2,000 sig 125 grain 9mm bullets
500, dead nuts ball .452
500, dead nuts 230 jhp
1,000 cases norma primed 300 black.

I've got 2k in 45 ACP once-fired cases showing up today, along with a few other products. I'm looking forward to it all arriving.

I need to make a run to Home Depot and pick up a sheet of 3/4 and a couple of 2x4's. I've got four more inline fabrication mounts coming for my presses. Right now, they are all lying on top of my primary reloading bench.

Yesterday, i spilled a pound of benchmark all over my floor.

Today, I put together a few more .375 bullets, today's bullets are 240 grains of swaging fun.
