What did you do at your reloading bench today?

[Grunt67]

Finished my 45/70 loads. Now I've got 100 pcs Starline 45/70,
that likely need trimming.
Speaking of trimming. I found & ordered 2 cutters for the Hornady Cam trimmer. Like everything else, they are scarce.
They only had 5 in stock at Graf & Son. Randy do you need a back up?

[Vaquero]

No sir I don't own a 45-70, my Big bore is the mighty 444 Marlin.
Thanks for the offer though.

Went to the LGS to check the status of my Henry order and found they had some powder and primers. Bought some Alliant 300-MP powder for $25/lb and CCI small rifle primers for $8/100. Figured I would get what I could and put it in the cabinet with the rest. The powder states it is a magnum pistol powder and I was wondering if anyone had experience with it.

Loaded up 50 only 41 mag’s using H110. I saved some bullets in case I can find a pound of 2400 somewhere. I put the Bat-Signal out here locally for some 2400 and offered several other powders for a trade hoping to entice somebody into letting a pound go. I’m planning on getting my BBS out for another trip to the range and give it some more break in time.

CCI small rifle primers for $8/100.

I fully understand buying what you can, I would too since I am down primers, but I cannot begin to shout loud enough how criminal it is to take advantage of loyal customers and charging such an outrageous prices.

Not a lot gets under my skin, but I'm tellin ya, loyalty runs two ways, up and down.

(PS, give me a gold star for keeping it clean, it wasn't easy !)

A LGS here got about 100K in CCI SRP by mistake from their distributor (they don't carry reloading supplies). They were selling them for $65/brick initially. Then it jumped up to $75/brick. Now it is at $150/brick. I'll not be going back.

[BigAl52]

Lots of that going on and I wouldnt go back either. Even after things come back if they ever do.

That's just baldface gouging. Maybe the LGS will make a quick profit, but it leaves a bad taste and you lose customers long term.

Cleaned up the revolvers from the days events.
I will get the rifles tomorrow.

Glad to help, buddy. Love that pic. Can't imagine my reaction to that.

[Rifletom]

Cardiac arrest right there! Oh boy!

[Grunt67]

Haven't done much on the bench lately, been doing other stuff. Still got 100 pcs Starline 45/70 brass to trim, size, clean, primer, flare.
That's where it'll end for now, no bullets. Dreading the trimming, anyway, my least fav. thing to do with loading.
I'll get it......eventually. LOL

[Vaquero]

I loaded 10 rounds of 223 with some 62 gr blems I got last summer.
They did well with some CFE, trying some LVR this time as I have 4 to 5 lbs of it.
Raining here this morn so I'll be shooting from the back deck, in a bit,
Gonna give the neighbors time to rise and shine.

Haven't done a thing on the bench, in fact I am not even home. I am on the road working out of state for the next month. It sucks but I need the bucks, so I have to do this to to that !

No wonder you've been scarce around here.

Really ticked me off. I was notified by Midway that some HS6 was in, tried to buy it and have it shipped to me, no dice, not in Calif !

My 357 Mag. brass showed up today. So after a quick inspection I tossed them in the tumbler for a little cleaning. Just getting them ready to fill up with powder, primer and a bullet.
