Not much at the bench for a while unless I really need to load something. Conserving standard large and small pistol primers and have plenty of ammo loaded for occasional plinking and plenty for SD uses.
that's pretty much where I am as well

In the past week or so, I've only loaded a few rounds to test in the Savage.
Found a couple with some promise, just waiting on some cooler weather.
When you work out in it all day, I just want to chill when I get home.
Been some decent mornings, but not the evenings.
I'm pretty stocked up, and still waiting on my 1500 pills from MB.

Mine's been idle for a while now.

And I haven't been shooting much either.

keeps me inside, which lately has been every day.

I finished reloading 110 .30-06 cartridges for my 4 .30-06 rifles... (1) M1 Garand, (2) '03 Springfield, (3) Kleingunther Seguin, (4) F111 Savage. I neck size for all except the M1 Garand. Each rifle has its own favorite recipe. Components used are Winchester brass and Large Rifle primers, Hornady 165 gr BTSP Interlock bullets, and Accurate 2520 powder. Variables are COL and amount of powder. Many in this Forum may not be familiar with Kleingunther Seguin rifles. They were made in West Germany during the 1970's and then shipped to a small importing company in Sequin, Texas for final assembly. They have an smooth, Mauser type receiver and are extremely accurate. In 2017, from an elevated box blind and no wind, I took a whitetail buck at 285 yds. with one shot through its heart. Recently, from a bench rest at our range, the rifle shot a 2" 4 round group at 200 yds.

Did not know of the Kleingunther, but love the name ! Very impressive grouping. What optics do you have mounted?
