This stage is complete. All they need now is powder and pills. I'm worn out but a good worn out😊.

Hot dog! Went to the reloading store today and he had a bunch of spp's, sooo, I bought a couple bricks. That completes my handloading needs. Those spp's were all I needed(wanted?). So, whatever may come down the pike, I'm prepared. No shortage here. Feeling good right now.

Not a whole lot lately. Still working on some 9mm, a little at a time. Now my left wrist is so sore, I can barely pick up the remote.
I've made the acquaintance of Arthur ritis. Not a friendly sort.
I rarely ever buy a rifle, but when I do, it's a Henry.

After a bit of yard work, I'll head to the shop and load some more .357 with those 180's. If it stays cool, may drive out to the desert.

No more military cartridges for me even if they are a little cheaper. You pay for it on the other end by having to swage out the primer pocket staking.
Keep an eye out at your favorite reloading supplier, I like Midsouth, for virgin Lake city 5.56 brass. Never primed no crimp, a perfect case. That's what I use for my competition loads.

Finally finished up that batch of 100, 9mm I was working on. Got a few more to do later. Think I'll switch back to 45/70. Got 100 pcs
of Starline brass wanting my attention. They'll likely need trimming, usually do. Also, got a few that I fired that needs working up.
Almost more fun this this old heart can stand. :lol:

I bought a case of Wolf gold .223 loaded ammo in 2014. 500 of the rounds are in magazines, and have never been fired. The other 500 I've loaded at least 4 times. I've only had to throw away 5 or 6 due to case splitting at the neck. Darn good brass. Once I finish the current handloading for the current batch, I'll give the carbine a break, and start shooting the AK more. Not sure if I want to reload for the 7.62x39 since ammo is so cheap. The reloader in me says yes, but as much as I shoot I'd be at the bench all the time. Cheers
