What do have waiting for you in the reloading room?

Good day at the range today. Someone threw out 20 pieces of new primed 300 RUM brass. Since I don't know what the primers are, I'll deprime. Otherwise, a good score. Brought out 200 new pieces of new Starline 308 brass for prep.
 
9mm reloading today. About 150 rounds in. Might call it a day at 300. Staying single stage. One of my favorite radio shows is on the bench stereo now, "The Trail Ride" on WAMU Washington, DC www.BluegrassCountry.org , Cajun Zydeco and various Americana hosted by "The Cowboy". Makes me want some Gumbo and Jambalaya. Maybe a Beignet and Cafe Du Monde coffee. So when that concludes at 6 PM, I'm done for the day at the bench.

I am just waiting on FedEx to deliver small 1 oz wide mouth HDPE Nalgene (anti-stat) bottles for powder transport to the range in a Range Reloading Kit I am putting togehter, centered around the Lee Hand Press. I got some very thin 25 cartridge reloading blocks from eBay yesterday. They are small and will work just dandy in the reloading kit. They are the dark gray blocks in the foreground. Color coded for convenience. Small rubber feet. Very thin so I can stack all three in the reloading kit. Small Medium and Large covers most pistol calibers. I am working with the designer/seller to make a large block that holds 45 Colt. The largest block (Pistol - he also does Rifle) only accommodates up to 45 ACP.

These are thin, but the bench light source is casting a shadow that makes them look thicker than they are. I added standard reloading blocks to give you scale;

As soon as FedEx gets here with the bottles, I'll be laying out the items in the bags and cutting out the foam to put them in their place for transport;
 
Got the delivery of the Berlin Packaging HDPE bottles a few minutes ago. So I can now complete my range reloading kit. I got 1 oz, 2 oz and 4 oz bottles. I will be using the 1 oz bottles, 4 or them, in the kit with an assortment of powder to cover what I reload for now. They only had white in 2 oz, so I will probably use that for gun cleaning fluids. The 4 oz would be good for larger loading portability for reloading at places like Deer Camps or extended travel to ranges for weeks where you are going to reload. I just have to label them and that's it. Assembling the kit tomorrow.

1 lb powder bottle added for scale;
