What have you done in the reloading room today

Been a little while since I posted but I recently shot a ladder of 338wm 210gr Barnes TTSX over some IMR4350 and found a load I like and will be taking to Africa in June. Made some more practice rounds today and will be using some new brass for the ammunition going to Africa over the next couple weeks.
 
I’m flabbergasted, stunned, amazed, dazed and confused! My Midway USA bullet order arrived. Intact! No spilled bullets, no broken boxes and nothing crushed.

Way to go, Larry!

Now to find room for them.
I wasn't so lucky, berry's all over the big box with the other trinkets. Any chance they will start using the costo plastic containers 🤣
 
I ran off about 20 9mm rounds last night with the progressive.(Im liking it more and more! I’m also disliking the plastic hopper more and more! I’m ordering the other one from dramworx after payday! Or maybe the next payday)
Reloading is probably going to be a little more intense next week. my daughter is gone next week, and reloading/shooting is my sole form of entertainment :) (other than being a bookworm, a beyond casual woodworker, and lots of church stuff:)) I’m pulling together info on a test ladder for 308 (and possibly 30-06)with 180 grain ballistic tips.

I also have my dad’s 22 torn apart on my bench to get back together. Compressing the springs with one hand and putting stuff back together with the same hand at the same time is a little on the complicated side.🤣
 
No spilled bullets, no broken boxes and nothing crushed.

That's one in a million... you need to go buy a lottery ticket the way your luck is! I pretty much quit buying bullets from Larry... for that reason.


Got 300 new WW .45ACP cases from another THR member, so I opened those up, put them in a bin, and tagged them.

Rounded up 2 bottles of powder that are going to another THR member... W244 and a partial pound of IMR4227. He wants Magnums... who am I to say no?

Also unboxed some AR build parts for a lower I picked up last week... all those tiny pins and springs! :oops:

They got me with free shipping and 20% off direct prices. I really like the Speer and Hornady soft swaged LRN for .38Spl. My old police revolvers are regulated to high speed 158’s perfectly. Under 850fps and over 750fps is the sweet spot.
 

Nice! Looks great to me. I am a fan. I am waiting for a Peters High Velocity tin sign to arrive on Saturday.

Put up four tin signs recently on my new relocated to the garage bench. The new Peters High Velocity shot shell sign will go on the top left when it arrives. Still have to pull out some gun/reloading storage items out of the bins and get the two top shelves 'Reloading Bench" organized. Almost there.

Out in my cabin (a Sunroom that I converted to a hunting/fishing cabin), I have a Peters Gun Dog sign that I put in a frame.
I really like some of these old tin sign reproductions. Peters reminds me of my late father. He was (mostly) a duck/rabbit hunter, and boxes of Peters High Velocity were always on his bench.
