Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

I just resized 32-20 cases into 25-20 cases.
Rim is not as thick as the real thing but my Wilson case gauge can't tell the difference.
One dummy I made was not catching on extractor but I had a bulb in the neck from screwing up the bullet seating. I jostled the lever and it engaged.

Well not really at the reloading 'desk' but out in the shop.

I had about 25 old rounds of .30 Luger ammo I pulled the bullets from. I had to come up with a 'creative' way to pull them but it was quick and worked well.

They are 93 grain JSP so I'll probably try about 10 grains of Unique with them for .30-30.

I am HOPING they don't turn out to be some incredibly accurate load as I don't think this bullet style is readily available but it's one way to use up old components!
