What did you do at your reloading bench today?

Found a load the Long Ranger likes so I figure I better feed it. Seems pretty accurate hopefully it gets even better when I get the barrel shot in. Only have 30 through it so far.

How about some Christmas bullets.
200 gr 35 Rem. over 34.0 grs. 3031.
Both Marlins love this load.

Oh boy, now I’m hearing that Christmas song “Carol of the Bullets” in my head.

Well I am about to load some of these 265 gr. WFNGC that forty was talking about last week.
And well there was only enough powder to load a couple rounds.
but never fear.
I have backup.
this has been sitting at the side of the bench for like 4 yrs. now.
Glad I got it back then, $20 per lb. 
Now I wish I had bought more.
So I poured a lb or so in the smaller bottle and am ready to go. May be a little dust on the bottle...as the song says.

Well, I sized, expanded and primed another 100 45 colts.
Then loaded 30 of the 265's over forty's mentioned load of Unique.
Rained most of the day, I'll report when I get time to try 'em.

Built a small 3'x2' bench this past weekend in the tool room on back of garage . first reloads since arriving in South Carolina. Decided to dust off the lee loader and put together a half dozen 38 special 158 Lead RNFP plinkers. I enjoyed the slow lee loader and listening to the radio, Buster lifted his leg on the bench Support giving his approval

I haven't been loading much lately, but today I found some brand new Winchester brass .357 unprimed casings that
I've been saving for something, so I primed them up. I plan to load them with 158 grn Keith Hunter lead target bullets
and am considering how much powder to load in them. I have lots of Unique left over from the old days and want to use
it up.
I have loaded then as high as 8grns of Unique, but that rattles my cage in my Colt Trooper III so I want to load then down
to something fun to shoot. I'm thinking about 6grns. I want to be able to shoot them in both my Trooper III and my Henry
Yellow Boy .357 Mag.
Maybe I'll load several varying loads and experiment.
Thoughts?
