Finished up my 45 rounds of .45 Colt Black MZ loads. Why only 45? Cause that's all of those Hornady FXT short cases I had.
Today being a rain day I will reset the Dillon for standard length .45 Colt and finish up the 230 gr/ 5.5 Red Dot Cowboy load for the Remington.

I cut down a 5 shelf metal rack that was gave to me by my LGS just before going to the dumpster. He gave me two of them and I set on up for my wife to keep her washing machine detergents on. The one to go on the end of my loading and work bench was to wide so I hack sawed an inch from the base mounts of it to make it fit. It now fits between my bench and my safe pretty nice and don't look bad either. I will keep containers of brass and maybe barrel cleaning solvents and some other things that are either in my way or I can't find when I need them. I am limited on space so I have to try to use every available amount of space that I can fit something in that will have some shelf space. The shelves adjust to different heights so it can be adjusted to hold taller things I may want on it. Sits nice and solid on the floor and shouldn't ever tip over. Had to mount it side ways but it is open all around so no problem getting to things. Could have cut it down 2" on the width but looked like it would be to tall for the width to be stable. I will work on other gun room projects while still in "jail" from the lock down. Fifty days and counting. Not going to count many more before I am "breaking out" and they can stuff their law.

FYI, everyone has their go to place for powder and primers which are in short supply right now.

I just ordered 2 pounds of IMR4198 and 2 pounds of H322 from Midway. They are only charging $11.99 haz mat for the order.

They have been out of powder for a month, and its cheaper for me to pay the $12.00 for haz mat than what I would pay in Gas driving into Phoenix and back.

Sounds like a no-brainer.
Congrats on the score

Nothing yet, been busy all day. 2 doc. appts. this AM, new scope arrived, got it mounted, bore sighted. Probably re-size some 45/70 brass tonite. Maybe go sight the scope in tomorrow, if the weather cooperates.

Sitting here trying to figure out why my bullets that left Spokane Wash last Monday and went to Colorado Springs arriving there yesterday. They have now made it to Denver and are coming up to Greeley. The Post Office wonders why there going broke.

Al, I feel your pain. I've been down that road more times than I can recall. They've been broke several times. The Gov. keeps
bailing them out. I long for the day when they let some private co, like UPS or FEDEX take over.
You'll go nuts trying to figure out how or why they do things. I can't repeat some of the things I've had to say on this subject.
It'll eventually show up, but it may go to your heirs by then. :lol:

Today I was going to work up some 30-30 loads for an upcoming Silhouette competition then found out for sure it was canceled. Sooo I have some primed cases. Kind of took the wind out of my sale even though I thought it would be canceled.
