What did you do at your reloading bench today?

[Vaquero]

Not anything soon, about to get worse for everything ammo related.
Was just talking with a friend who knows a gunshop owner that's a big military distributor of ammo. He says the ammo on the shelves now are just backorders from last year. After those are filled, estimated for the end of Summer then will most likely be a 50% increase in all ammo and components. So my advice is buy what you want/need before the end of Summer.

Randy if you use much IMR 4198 Midsouth Shooters has 8lb ers right now for 274.00

[Vaquero]

I do Al, I'm currently sitting on 4+ lbs., but that's a good price.
Wonder what shipping and hazmat would add to that?

Loaded 40 rounds of 140 grain Missouri coated in 38 special with Winchester 244 in 4 strengths. I think with the arrival of more powders and reloading supplies it may be a good idea to load up if you can on suppliers you can use as opposed what I've always used.

Picked up a 6.5 Creedmoor back in Jan., had a little bit of IMR4350.
Went looking for more, none to be found it or the H4350, but did find some A4350.
Tried it and it worked pretty good so I went back and picked 2 more lbs.

In the last year I've come across Winchester 296, Ramshot True Blue and Winchester 244. Will be able to use all 3 across 38special and 357magnum bullets I have on hand. I wish I got an 8 pounder of each but didn't know I could use it so much. If I cross paths again I'll grab as much as I can.

Not much at the bench as of lately, eaten there a time or two.
Thinking about loading some 45 colts in the next day or so.
Buuuuuut, this weekend...
Off of a couple other gun forums, I bought some stuff.
102 new pcs. of 35 Rem. brass, of which 34 are primed.
179 pcs. of 1x fired 45 colt brass, where'd that other one go, and
355 210 gr swc 41 mag bullets.
Not that I really need them that badly, it was that the prices were just so good.

Pretty good haul Randy. May not have needed it all, but, you've got it. The brass is the best score.

Couple hunnerd 45 acp.

Going to load up the .45 Colt I shot up yesterday[not the leverevolution brass] with 6.0gr Red Dot. Likin' that load a lot. So, next range session will be at the mountain range. Same revolver with the RD load and 7.2gr Universal. Same bullet. The Shoot Out!

Tom, I've been out of Red Dot for some time now so my go-to load for 45 Colt is 7.2 of Universal with 250 gr RNFP. My Marlin and Blackhawk both like that load and it's plesant to shoot.

Paul, 7.2gr Universal is indeed a very good load in .45 Colt. It gets used a lot in my Pietta and Henry. I believe I got that idea from Ranch Roper.
Regardless, it's a fine load. More loading today.

[The Happy Kaboomer]

132.......223
100.....45acp

132.......223

My little deprimming helper.
The 45 colt brass showed up today, and he's been wanting to play with the presses.
