It would have been better if I was loading 500 gr Boolits! Of course those might qualify as cruise missiles!

I actually stole that. Hickok45 calls 45/70 shells torpedoes!

Then you'll have to add more powder, there goes your low recoil shooting 45/70 or should I say 45/10...??? :lol: :mrgreen: :D

Hickok45 is a great guy. Him and John lives just down the road from me.

Looks like I'll need to load some more mouse fart 30-30s and a bunch of .40 and 45LC. Took my sisters and brother-in-law shooting today. They really enjoyed the 165 gn MBC with Herco load in the 30-30. Come to think of it... I really like that one too. :D

Reloading some 44 Special coated 240gr SWC for my Ruger Redhawk 5.5" barrel. Got these coated 240gr SWC the first of this your and worked up the load data for them and now, it's time to load them up. I plan on loading 500 of them up since 4th of July is just around the corner. Neighbor down the road from me just bought himself a Henry Big Boy Brass chambered in 357 Magnum. So, me and him decided to attack some full size AR500 IDPA steel targets over the 4th of July weekend.

I just primed 100 cases for my .357 BBB and Uberti revolver that I shot and cleaned from last week and put them in their boxes. Soon, I'll be reloading 100 more 130 gr. FMJs in anticipation of another session at the range this week.

Handloading is full of different pleasures; first carefully building the ammo, step by step; then shooting it, followed by cleaning the gun(s) and the spent brass, and finally building them again for another day at the range.

It's a great hobby. I wish I'd been doing it for the last fifty years and not just the last two; though, better late than never.

Well if you own any black rifles, might want to stock up on components.
Probably be a run on them in the near future.

I have been buying some stuff for reloading. still need a little more brass. I've been thinking the same thing. Not just black rifle stuff. The closer it get to November the worse it's gonna get.

I've got torpedo cases in the vibrator as I type.
