I finished a group of 300 blackout and had to find primers for it. Found some small rifle a friend gave me that was an antique box of CCI but worked as I have shot these before. While I was looking for more primers I found the other box the friends had given me so I finished the 300 blackout and had a bunch of primers left over so I am doing some HST or v-crown which ever they are. Looking around I can load like 2000 270 or 303 but have no use for them as I have thousands loaded now. Just trying to keep going.  Craig

Something of interest. In processing the 9mm brass I forgot to put in the lemishine in the wet tumbler but still the brass came out like new or newer. That process still amazes me.  Craig

Finished 50 of the 125g HST and have some primers left over like 30 or so. BTW I am running Universal for the fifty just for laughs.  Craig

Finished the 30 HST, small primers are now gone. Got 80 HST to shoot and another 300 in storage. I guess I am done with reloading unless I do some 303 as all the primers are large rifle or maybe some large pistol.  Just don't shoot much of those.  Craig

BTW the 30 or so 9mm brass came out like new with the Lemishine. It does put a super shine on the brass.  Craig

Hey Craig, I need to look into this wet tumbler process, it sounds pretty slick

Hey Kenk, my machine was a Harbor Freight 50.00 rock polisher well worth the money but Lyman I think makes one for like 175 or so that is much larger. I would go with that one if it were me starting again or Harbor has a double model that you could do twice as many or two different calibers at the same time. You can get the stainless steel chips on the net and one bag has lasted me a year or more, I could go on forever but it just works great for the cleanest brass you will ever get.  Craig ;D

BTW Franklin makes one but I don't know the price.  Craig

Last evening I was looking for large pistol primer type rounds I could reload and found a bunch of 10mm I guess I overlooked. I also have a large quantity of 180g JHP that are a nice Montana Gold bullet. I have bought these in large quantities over the years and have a nice history with them. I guess I have a carton with 500 or so in it. I will get busy but need to stretch these out over a few days as it's all I have to reload.!!!  Craig

Well trying to drag my feet all the 10mm are done and I am almost out of Universal. I could have been done yesterday but left 50 to finish today. I chambered a few to test and all went with no problem. I will shoot a few when I can to test.  Craig

Since I had large pistol primers and found 45 long colt brass I loaded some up using universal and now it is almost gone. I found a box of 1000 45 FMJ and 3 45 JHP. Out of large primer brass so I am taking a long break!!!  Craig

Did the 11 9mm blue bullets I found primers for and I didn't run out of universal but I am close.  Craig

Was looking for any large pistol primer loads I could do and found an unopened bag of 100 45 long colt I do for my friends son shooting a judge, not a real judge but the Ruger judge. I don't need these for a few months but it's something to load and I have everything needed to do them. Oh yeah I do like the joke about the judge. Ha Ha!!!  Craig

I just sorted the 45 long colt and like the others I have bought at the gun show there were 27 Starline in the mix. This will give me over 100 Starline reloaded 45 colt for myself. I have stated before with my Comanche one shot you can't loose the brass so the Starline should last forever!!!!  Craig
