Picked up my instore Cabelas order - 2lbs Bullseye, 500 223 55gr, 600 CCI SPP. Was supposed to be 1,000 primers, but they only sent six packs. The manager apologized, refunded me for the 1,000, and rung up 600. Oh well, 600 is better than zero. Off to find more

Just finished up ~500 rounds of my favorite plinking 9mm, The Blue Bullet 147gr RN over 3.5gr CFE Pistol.
Along with ~500 rounds of Black Bullet Intl. 147gr FN over 3.7gr CFE Pistol, that killed off a brick of Federal Match SPPs and a jug of Top Brass Re-Spec brass.  Next steps... Convert my press over for 223/556 Work up a plinking load for ~1,000 rds of 55gr FMJ & CFE 2223 Work up a NATO pressure load for ~1,000 rds of 62gr FMJ & CFE 223 Probably won't happen until March, tho. |

Loaded up 40 .380 100gr with some Bullseye. My Lehigh Defense Xtreme .355s will be here tomorrow, downloaded their load data for 9mm and .380. I was going to order some 38 cal, but they didn't have them in stock, of course they do today.

I did a guestimate of 9mm reloads that I have ready to go. Probably over 6k. Good for 2-3 years 9mm shooting. Plus more components to reload 4K more. Makes me feel good. I didn’t even count 45 and 380. I got a crazy amount of reload 223. I wish I had more loaded pistol ammo.

Weekly reloading evening with NW556.
He loaded about 800 5.56 with 55 gr FMJBT's and A-2230. Next week will be SS-109 night, loading the bullets he bought during the ban SS-109 scare 5-6 years ago. Got the next batch of 5.56 in the wet tumbler. While he was doing that I trimmed another 50 35 Remington, deburred and chamfered them. Trimmed with my motorized trim mate. Slow but perfect for low volume Fudd rounds. |

 Glued up these panels for another powder magazine. They haven't been cut to size, but are laid out where they will go. Sized to hold 20 1 pound cans of Western powder, Ramshot, Accurate.  Panels cut out and box assembled, top cut out. Box made from 3/4 Pine boards, will line the 1/4 boards you see on the inside to get 1 inch thick walls per SAMMI spec. Emptied load of 5.56 from wet tumbler and got another batch going. |

Range time today and I shot my hand loads in 6.8 SPC and 9mm. 6.8 with 90 gr GD needs more work. Probably going to try another powder than A2200.
9mm with True Blue were great. Accurate and clean. I’m going to load a bunch more of these with True Blue. Picked up my brass plus a little leftover .223 for the “blasting bucket” brass. |

Daughter is still grounded. So today she gets to help me do load work ups for my ak47 in 7.62x39 with some new 150gr speer hot cor bullets.
Up until today, she was scared to shoot this rifle. Now, she isn't. We tried H322, maxed out the case capacity and only got to 2100 fps. Tried H4895, barely got above 2000 fps. Super compressed load at max charge. H335 got us up to 2155 fps and we still have some capacity left. We may creep up on it after lunch to see what we can squeeze out of it.

Performed a rare act of charity. Guy at work tries reloading .308. Tells me his rounds wont chamber in his rifle.
He had no clue as how to resize correctly. I pulled the bullets, dumped the powder, FL resized the brass and pushed the shoulder back to match factory Lapua. Loaded the rounds back with RL 15 and 168 SMK. |
