Sounds great Craig, its been raining down here so much even our hard ground is like walking on a sponge!
By the time we dry out I'll be playing catch up on all the things I could not get done as a result of this weather!

Yea, we need rain in MN desperately. I'm ok with it, as my mowing frequently has been cut back substantially, but the farmers need it badly

It's still raining here if it's not 100 degrees. BTW I got in the order of 500 125g HST rounds so I can load except I am all most out of primers!!!!!!!! Craig

Hey Craig, are you able to get primers locally?

No!!! Last  ones I bought at a gun show and paid 125.00 per 1000. I just got in from a local gun place and the shelves are empty!! They have a fair amount of loaded rounds but no primers, powder and no projectiles. I am real tired of all this.  Craig

Yea, I think we all are. Have you checked Gun Broker?

I just saw a few places online offering them for around $90.00 - $100.00 per 1K, way expensive as far as I'm concerned, think I paid $34.00 pre-pandemic for 1K

Not sure if it's me just being cheap or sticking to my principles, but I'll just wait it out rather pay scalper prices. I'd rather buy factory Ammo than feed those scumbuckets.

Hey Vice I couldn't agree more but I love to reload and get antsy when I am low on stuff. I was out today shopping and the local place had 9mm 50 round box for 28.50. I can do around 200 at that price but my point is we are all paying to much.  Craig

I hear ya gad, agree 100%.

I love reloading as well as casting, so my costs are pretty low. If I get too bored I'll fill in that reloading time with casting while waiting for prices to get reasonable.

Was setting primers today getting ready to do the 124's I just got from American. They are HST but look like v crown to me with a small open dot in the center but really the hole looks smaller than a v crown. Doesn't matter they are a new bullet vs a pull down I think  at pull down prices. Now I was putting away some of the zombie bullets from the American mix order when one bullet fell out of the case. I did have trouble with one bullet setting as the bullet just seemed smaller.  I taper crimped harder I thought but still not enough. Is there anything else I should do? I did try to resize the case but it didn't seem to help. BTW this is a Winchester case. It's not worth going to any great length to fix expect it might happen again as the brass came from a big box of brass and there were more Win cases but no problems except this one.  Let me know what anybody thinks!!  Craig

Hey Craig, if it's only one, I'd just pitch it  if it were me 😀

Just finished up 100 125g HST at 6.3g depending on who's data you go by these are right on the HOT line. Wanted to do um at 6.2 but decided what the heck and pumped them up. Craig

Back from the range tested 125g hot loads against other loads that were loaded lighter. Shot as expected but very nice round. I will load more of these as I have a lot and a few primers left. Good day all in all/  Craig

Didn't get into it yesterday but I was shooting the Sig Sauer m17 or p-320 with the Romeo reflex sight on it. I think serious shooters will evidently go to these sights as they are the best I have ever used.  Holstering is still an issue but my holster guy made one for it but concealed carry is a problem for me. There are other issues anyway. I am waiting for universal outside carry to be accepted anyway.  Craig
