No doubt MRE's are selling well.

Just got emails, 2 of my orders will be delivered today & tomorrow. Not bad considering, since they were ordered on 3/24 & 3/25.
Mid South & Midway.

FedEx just delivered 50 pcs, Starline 45/70 brass, from Mid South Shooters. about 9 days. Sooner than I'd hoped.

You are correct, Moe, LOL. Got 50 pcs 45/70 Hornady 300 gr HP coming tomorrow. Business is booming in Trousdale Co, :lol:

I discovered today that my RCBS shell holders won't fit my new Hornady case trimmer. Dang it Man!
Didn't really want to do any case trimming today anyway LOL.

Hornady and RCBS shell holders are different heights for the same caliber.
Found that out when resizing 30-30 one time.
Thinking I was done I put the dies in the box and the found another 50 cases.
Set it all up and the ram was slamming over when I had it just bumping previously. Catching my head a little foe awhile in till I looked at the shell holders. The RCBS was a couple .001s" taller.
Keep the Hornady in the box and the RCBS squirreled away in a tool drawer.

True, I had to order a Hornady shell holder for mine. You'll like that trimmer. Works much better than my old Wilson.

Got lucky today. Checked Mid South Shooters to see if by some chance they had 9mm Hornady XTP 124 gr bullets. They did have them in stock. Grabbed some (200). Good to go....

Not at the loading bench, but after work yesterday.
I did cast up another 50 of those 270 gr 41's.
Made 26 210 gr 41's then dropped the mold in the water bucket.
Not quite sure it will ever be the same.
I will give it a good look this afternoon.
