Yesterday I loaded up another 100 357 cartridges. I plan to load up another 100 which should keep me going for a while as I don’t shoot much in the winter. I do need to make a trip up to where my range is located to do some outdoor burning so I’ll probably burn some powder too. :D

I played around with seating .357 bullets in 350 legend cases. I will probably need to size them down to .355/.356.

I walked into the Corpus Christi gun club today to pay my winter dues. I looked up on the powder shelf and there set an 8lb jug of gold. Unique powder. I use it in my 20ga skeet loads. I have another jug here in Texas USA that has about 6lbs left in it. But now guess what another 8lber goes home with me. Top it all all with a 345.00 price tag on it. I sure do like Texas.

Congrats.

I ran across my first varget a month or so back. I'd been waiting to find some for my 223 loads.

I guy had it in his hands and he as trying to convince his wife it was unobtainium. He put it back; I waited a moment and snagged it.

I last summer I also picked up a couple of 8lbers of unopened estate sale products. 1680, and h110. Stupid low prices on those.

Primed 900 45 colt cases last night, and another 125 today.

Good catch Al. I haven't seen any Unique around here for a long time.

I loaded a batch of .357's with cast 158's over a mild load of Power Pistol on my Dillon SDB. After getting tripped up in most of the booby traps the auto index could throw at me I'm actually starting to like the little beast. My vocabulary was somewhat polluted during the first few sessions though.

Great snag Al, and at a decent price.
Well, I'm headed out in a min.
Taking my short 35 Rem. and the 41 Blackhawk for a little hunt.
Got to lookin around last night and none of my favorite hunting loads.
So I sat down and made 10 right quick, usually only takes one though.
Some 200 gr cast from a Lee clone of RCBS's 200 gr fn. loaded over 34.0 grs. of 3031.
Very accurate in both Marlin 35's.
Off to the woods, y'all have a good day.
