What did you do at your reloading bench today?

RP

Yeah.
Up till now just used the MBC coated 85g.
Gonna turn to 3/8s andc1/5 size targets at 200 meters.
Varmint Silhouette .
Gotta see if the center fire the likes of 25-20, 22 Hornet will damage the targets at 200 meters.

[Vaquero]

I wouldn't think so at that distance.
Have fun and post some results.

I ordered mine 4/2 from Mid South Shooters Supply, came today, 4/11. So 9 days from order to mailbox. Not bad considering suppliers
are in overload now.

Did 50 rounds this morning of 200 gr LRNFP, 7.5 gn of Universal. A little hotter load that the 7.0 I usually do but still well within the limit. These might be fun to shoot in the High Wall one day.

[BigAl52]

Loaded 100 rounds of 41 mag this afternoon. Used up some bullets Ive been wanting to use.

[Ojaileveraction]

I ordered a 1/2 liter 5% pure denatured ethyl alcohol and pure lanolin to make my own case lube.
By volume 10% pure lanolin and 90% alcohol.
Lanolin arrives next week, alcohol will take a month with special shipping requirements.
I'll use the spray bottles I already have.

Edit
I received the lanolin and I know many of you worry about this.
The lanolin is gluten free.

Nope been raining pretty much all day, sometimes extremely hard.
Only stepped out on the deck and let one 45 colt go at the gong. Bang, Ding.
Came back in and went back to loading some more 45's.
Found a pound of Clays in the very back of the powder cabinet,
no idea how long it's been back there.
So I loaded 25 45's from 4.3,to 5.1, 5.1 being the Max.
Then I loaded the rest of the clean 45 brass, 50 pcs. with my normal Unique load.
Then stopped for a Pizza break, and catchin' up here.

[BigAl52]
