First and foremost I would like to thank the people working on the forum and it seems to be working just fine now for me!!! With no reloading components available I am undertaking a new hobby!! I will be cleaning pull down bullets sent to me by American. I just love the wet tumbling results I get so cleaning pull down bullets seems like a good idea. What's the old saying?? It ain't but something to do!! Craig

That was a short hobby!!! I dug out the 1000 FMJ 115g I got from American and they are fine. Sometimes I get the pull downs with dirt encrusted on the bullets but these were real clean. Oh well!! Craig

I suppose I could deprime and clean brass but why when you can't finish the round??? Craig

Just got back from the range, I shot 9mm with the Gock and the Walther p-38. I had some of the 9mm Hod Universal rounds loaded at 4.5 with a 125g in think bullet and zit was very weak and wouldn't cycle the next round. I had other rounds that shot great in both guns. It was fun all the way around.  I guess I should say the good rounds were 115g v-crown loaded with power pistol 6.3g. It's my "will always work" round.  Craig

I've been de-priming, tumbling & resizing  all my brass. just about everything is ready to load once I get some primers & powder. I have plenty of loaded ammo on hand and a small stash of various primers & powder incase I need to load something I'm running out of.

Hey Blaster, I?m in the same boat, a bunch on hand, but holding back on some components?as we should in times like these!

I'm still OK on components and have plenty loaded up already, but have been shooting 22LR a whole lot more as of late.  Like blaster, all my brass that has been languishing for years is now prepped, ready to go when I shoot up some CF rounds and need to load 'em up again.

Hey all I used to keep a few components on hand to use as needed. Then I got bored looking at the stuff so I loaded it all up. I find loaded rounds shoot better than components anyway!!!!  Ha Ha  Craig
