What did you do at your reloading bench today?

[Vaquero]

Well, I got an e-mail from MBC yesterday apologizing for the delayed shipment of my last order.
Said they had to cast up some Pugnose to fill my order. Must be a popular boolit.
It said they were being sized and would go out shortly.
I'm interested in trying the 165gr .309's that are coming with those.
So I sized and primed the 58 pieces of clean 30-30 brass I had ready and found 10 PCs. that were already primed.
Took an early lunch and I'm going to stuff some 38-55's with some 240 gr rnfp over 10 grs. of Unique.

Rainy day here, so something productive.
Or I could step out on the deck and slap some gongs.




Talked me into it.....Now what to shoot

No shooting... wife came home from taking her mother to a doctor appointment and wanted clean a couple pieces of cast iron.
So she was on the deck doing that and I just came back in and got 75 of the 38-55's stuffed.
Talked with my ex-neighbor, now in Kansas, for about an hour.
She's all done now so I may just shoot a few minutes, and decide if I want to load some more.

Another rainy day, a few more 38-55's.
Have been wanting to try some Trail Boss in this.
So I'm going to try 7.5grs. with a 255 gr pill.

Hoping my MBC order shows today, if so I'll stuff some 30-30's also.

Ordered 2000 rounds of CCI Mini mag Target 22LR. Easiest reloading Ive done in a while. You still lookin for a Single Shot 38-55 Randy?

Last time I was at the local WW, they had the 100 rd boxes for either $9.99 or $10.99 I don't recall right off.
Was going to buy 5 but the lady was helping someone with a hunting license and taking too long so I passed.

I'd still like to have one, but it's not a high priority at the moment, plus little fun money at the moment.
So I'm just enjoying the ole Cowboy.

Target Sports has the 500 round box for 36.50. I buy from them because local WalMart is charging 11.50 a 100. My 22/45 Ruger likes that ammo the best. Just about to go shooting here today and shoot my new 10/22 with a green dot sight on it. Will post results later

Was going to load some 41 mag., but, but my shell holder has gone missing.
Just looked and nothing else uses that particular one, nothing.
Closest I can come up with is a 44 and it's not close.

Edit: the 30-30/38-55 is close, it may work til I find it or pick up another.
Several years ago I miss placed the 357 holder, I bought one and within a week I found the dang original.

Well, I didn't get any loaded, but did size, expand and prime 300 PCs. of 41 mag. brass.

Yesterday morn before leaving for work I deprimed 100+ 357 cases.
Then later in the afternoon I ran those and some 38-55 through the SS pin tumbler.
That's about it for the past week or so.
