disassembled our portable loading station .... installed an Automatic Primer Feed ===> https://www.cabelas.com/catalog/product ... 40330a924f on our press .... simple enough .. :) .. deceptively so .. :? .. correctly installing the the wire spring that holds the primers in the tube is the key to the whole operation .... the wire spring can be seen in the picture below and in the following link .... it is held by a single, small screw on the front of what they call the Primer Feeder Body ===> https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1012998776?pid=806746 .... in looking at the small spring it was easy to see that it was binding .... it took me a while to delicately adjust that spring to get it working .... I will not be surprised if I have to call Hornady and have them send a replacement .... I won't know for a while because I don't anticipate using the press again any time soon

Just finished loading 50 pcs. 45/70 w/Starline brass, Hornady 300gr. HP, IMR 4198, CCI-200. Gonna give it a rest for a while.
I rarely ever buy a rifle, but when I do, it's a Henry.

Called Missouri Bullets to get an idea when my order might be shipped. Lady said I was in the system and would get an e-mail when the order ships.
They are really swamped with bullet orders she said. Anyway will leave my .38 setup alone until bullets come.

I read that gun sales in the USA were up 80%. Canada too but the media here will not say how much. But I see ammo and reloading stuff out of stock lots of places.
Sure glad I reload. My new rifle may actually be on its way across the border soon too. Shipping is getting sorted out finally sounds like.

And I read that a large percentage of those guns were sold to first time owners. There may be a lot of like-new-in-box firearms available in a year or two.
