We had it most of yesterday, Oldbrass, just cloudy today.
I ended up loading 110, then sized and primed the last 119 empties.
Puts at around 350 loaded rounds. :o :D

Found some of those 180 gr. Hornady XTP .44 Mag bullets that I like so much clocked at 1950-2000 FPS out of my .44 Henry carbine.
Placed the order this morning. They make great little pumpkin smashers and a good "anti-personnel" load according to Buffalo Bore!
Note these were bullets only for reloading.

Back pain pushed me out of bed at 3 am so went down into the man cave and fished cleaning the Ruger Blackhawk then sized some 44 mag. brass. That worked the back muscles.

Yesterday morning I loaded another 50 round box of 222 Remington Federal nickle Match cases for my Sako. Loaded with 55 gr Sierra spitzer bullets and H4895. I have 50 more new Federal match cases primed and I will load them today with 40 gr Sierra Blitz King bullets and IMR 4198 for this winter varmint hunting. Will have to change the sight in with the lighter bullets. The 40's shoot really flat compared to the 55's I use in fall small game and turkey season. The Federal nickle match cases are almost nonexistent any more and expensive if you find any for sale. Good shooting to everyone. :)
