What did you do at your reloading bench today?

Earlier this year I had put a “notify me” when Graf and Sons got the Sierra .223 77 gr SMK back in stock. Well yesterday I got the notice at $18. Ish a box with a limit of 2. So I ordered two boxes but got a notice that Grafs now had a $40. Min order. I got a chuckle out of that because I was limited to buying two only but needed to buy three or more to hit the new minimum order. So I just added a can of Hornady One Shot Case Lube and got the order placed.

A few weeks ago I bought two boxes at a local store for $26. So at $18 each plus $10 for shipping it was still cheaper.

Oh how I pine away for 2019.......

Oh, oh! Loaded up some 30-30's. What could that possibly mean? 170gr Hornady Interlock FN, 33.0gr Win 748 and a CCI mag primer.
Well, looks like a desert shoot to me! Not sure what day, but, it's fast approaching. 30-30, 30-06, a couple of .45 Colts; oh, this gonna be an over night deal me thinks!

Interesting use for the mag primer. You find that burns that load best (or just the one you have on hand)?

I use the mag primer with 748 only. It's a ball type powder, so, helps with ignition. Seemed to help with accuracy also. The MV in my Mod 94[20" barrel], avg is 2,025 fps. It's a good load.
Randy, you have any 748? Mag primers work well with that powder in 30-30's.

Yes I do have a little bit, probably less than half a pound, but
I will try them next time I load some 30-30's.
Thank ya.

Popped about 300 rounds of 45 Colt brass into the tumbler. Running low on loaded 45 Colt.

I tell you what PJM, it sure is nice to have property to set up your own long rifle range ! ! !

FYI, we have been talking about Missouri Bullets quite a bit on different threads. Ship time is around 12 to 16 weeks.

HOWEVER: I made an order yesterday for 180 grain .357 Striker Pugnose bulletts and was just notified THEY SHIPPED TODAY !

I still have two pending orders made a couple of months ago for my 45/70 and 9mm, but the PUGNOSE shipped in a day.

Dang r-n-g, now that is a surprise! Awesome.

Was running low on 45 Colt loads so I put together 300 rounds. I'm never happy unless I see 400-500 rounds, of any caliber, sitting on the shelf.

Bought Al’s 308 dies. Hoping to combine them with a new press. The reloading horizon is expanding. 6.5 is next. Yeah Mark, I’m getting closer to that new build. Waiting on the barrel.

That's a very popular bullet here lately, this forum alone buys quite a number.
I have somewhere like 7-800 on hand, plus some loaded.

I did run a bunch of 45 colts through through the pins.
Need to load some the deck out back has been a little busy.
