What did you do at your reloading bench today?

Not sure those 308s can improve on this group, but we'll see.
May extend the range a tad though.
I shot this group week before last, 110yds.

Randy - that's one mighty fine looking group. That's going to be hard to beat no matter what you're shooting. Just hang that target near your favorite deer trail and you won't have to fire a shot. They'll take one look and fall over.

Or run like Hell.
Thanks Paul.
Well, the mx didn't really like those but that's ok. Not bad, not impressive either.
One rifle sighted and sent home, the other is close, went and helped a neighbor. So I will finish it tomorrow.

Nothing........I went deer hunting.

Good thing I loaded up a lot back when primers were reasonable as I have only about 1k each of the ones I use and no more extra $$'s for more.

Yes, we have had several lessons in the last 10 years about stocking up when we can and sitting on our inventory when we can’t.

A modified view, stock up when we can, so we have something to shoot when we can't.

Once bitten and that is NOT happening again. I honestly forget the first time it happened, as in what year. But, when things recovered, I bought!
As they say, "Never again, never forget".

I think the three year span from 2017 after the election dust settled up through the beginning of 2020 when the chinese bug invaded our shores will be remembered as the "Good 'ol Days".

To clarify my post in case it wasn't clear, I meant that I used my primers to load ammo. I was looking through my loaded stuff and now feel better about being low on primers. I bought all of the ones that I used and have left for about $16 per 1k. Also a lot of pure lead and #2 alloy plus many bullet moulds so @ 75 I think I am set for as long as I can still shoot good enough to not make myself look ridiculous.

[Vaquero]

I'm sitting pretty good on components, probably around 4k ea on the 4 most used primers.
Even have around 1200 Mag RP.s which I use very little.
Powder and bullets look pretty good, I am about to order another 1000 180gr Pugnose from Missouri Bullet Co.
Can't have too many bullets.
