Loaded some 45-70 with my own 400 grain cast bullets and a duplex load of 5 grains of 4198 and 60 grains of ffg. These shoot very clean and are mild on the shoulder in my Rolling Block.

Loaded 50 .38 special with ACME coated 158 gr. RNFP and bullseye powder. Used my Lee hand press. It takes longer, but I can use it almost anywhere.

Well let's see, yesterday I deprimmed some 6.5 Creedmoor and 223 brass from the day before. Put all those in the ss tumbler, then loaded 10 more test loads for the Creed.
Then when I went to check the mailbox, my package from midway was there a few days earlier than expected.

🙂😉
Tried out the loads one shows promise. 😉
Got cleaned up and then dumped the brass and rinsed and left to dry in the sun.😉. Then took the scooter for a spin. Ended up close to a gun shop that sells loading supplies.
And I scored these.
