What did you do at your reloading bench today?

[Vaquero]

Pre primed 100 of 45/70 cases, 30/30 cases, .500 s&w cases. 40 S7W cases and 9mm+P. I typically keep at least 100 cases of all my rounds pre primes.

I do a similar thing also. 30-30, 35, Rem 444, and 357, 41 mags, and the 45 colts.
I have around 6-700 223's that have been sitting for over 2 yrs now, I just haven't shot those in a couple yrs.

Doin well RT, thanks for asking. Not spending any time on the bench, stockpiled too much ammo and have been working through it. I have been shooting more shotgun than rifle or pistol. I have the itch for a day with the 45-70 though. Been reading everyone's post, but not much to say since I have not been that active. (hard to believe I have nothing to say!).

LOL! I've been trying my hand at skeet lately. Man, that and Sporting Clays will humble you fastly. At least till we get the hang of it. Sigh!
May take the wife to the desert to shoot the handguns this weekend. She seems to like the .45 Colt for a cylinde or two, then thats it!
Little Asian gal thinks shes John Wayne!

Using up Falcon coated bullets I've had on hand since they went out of business in 2020. Loading 50rounds a night of 38 special 105 grain tcfp with 5.6 grains of CFE pistol powder, have about 20 bullets left of those.

Sporting Clays will humble you fastly.

Yes they will. My son and family spent the holidays out here in Az, took a day to shoot clays, son was going to humble the old man. We were pretty much nose to nose until I pulled out my hammer coach gun and started busting clays. Not to be outdone, he pulled out his coach gun, and well, he was humbled and couldn't hit a bird !
