Ohio lockdown

[gadabout]

Pulled a fast one at the local gun shop as they are working off the internet setting up appointments to get your stuff you have paid for on there site. I said I couldn't make the site work so they let me in to get primers.I have found more critical duty 9mm bullets and some 165g HST I can load but I needed a break so mowed the grass. BTW I am running low on plastic boxes as I have been loading so much. Can do a few hundred without any problem. Also got the loading dies for the 7.62x39mm and if I can come up with bullets I will load 10 or so for testing.  Craig

Well I just answered my own question. I had bought a bunch of 9mm at one time and they were HST's, Critical duty. and one other I just found a bunch of that I couldn't remember the name of. Just went to check my stock and found some loaded V-crown and that's what I just found a lot of in the reloading room. Whew memory is just shot!  At leased I got a few hundred of those to load up. I think I now have about 10,000 9mm in stock.The unsung hero of reloading is small plastic containers. I would be dead without them.    Craig

Well just weighted these bullets and it appears they are really 165g 10mm or 40 cal bullets which I can use moreso than the 9mm. Craig

[gadabout]

Is moreso really a word if it's not it should be!! Well I am looking for something to load that's not the same as what I have been loading for the last two months!!! Ah I got a bunch of 10mm and 45 but loaded too much 10mm lately and I don't shoot 45 anymore so it is just for friends.  Craig

I will still be looking. :'(

In looking around for various 7.62,308,311 type bullets I came across a box that has like 400 9mm 124g V-Crown JHP bullets I forgot I had. I do have several hundred already loaded up but it's a nice bullet that I can do sometime. I am getting down to it. All small quantities have been loaded up.  Craig

Just finished all the 124g v-crown and it was more like 169 rounds. I already had 2 or 3 hundred rounds loaded up. Will start on the 300 blackout after lunch.  Craig

Your a machine Craig, you should be set for some time 😀

Hey Kenk, yeah I have too many rounds now and my idea of a long range session is shooting 20 or 30 rounds. I mostly test rounds, using a few different guns. I have to force myself to only take one gun and 100 rounds to the range for skills work.  Craig

What happen to that strange guy that was reloading all of the bullets he could find and then some??? He is still finding stuff to reload and the local place is now open sort of for some stuff. I am really reloading for my holster making friend that I meet up with at gun shows. I am working on rounds I need for a late June gun show as it's the first one in my aria that is still going to be open. Although they have plenty of time to cancel!! I am hopping a late June date may still happen. Well at leased the bullets don't go bad!! I all so did some 7.62 using reloader #7 but I need to give them to a guy for testing. It's good data so I know they will work just not sure of his gun as it had a dent in the case mouth on ejection. I am trying lighter but he hasn't tested the last rounds I gave him yet. Man I am getting tired of this "party in place" reloading. At leased the local gun place is open such as it is! Gives me something to do in between different loads. I have used up a lot of 303 bullets for 7,62 rounds and need more. Guess that's it for now.  Craig

I was reloading 2 days ago and my primer index can broke. Had to grab some scrap 1/4in and 11 gauge steel from work yesterday and bring it home. Fired up the welder and plasma cutter and was back up and running in an hour or so. It will be 10 days or so to get the the actual part from RCBS [emoji45] so at least I have a backup in case it happens again.

I finished 200 62gr Speer gold dots in 223 with cfe 223 powder and then 200 Xtreme X-Def 124gr 9mm with BE-86. Waiting on my 500 count pack of 69gr Sierra match kings and 200 73gr eld Hornady bullets [emoji51]

I forgot to mention it was 300 aac blackout I did for a friend that I really hate to do as it is just like 7.62 but a bad copy. I am going to make a round out of reloader 7 for the 300 blackout as I now have the powder but no data. I can extrapolate from 308 or some other round close. Funny as Alliant has no 300 blackout data on their website. Oh well another reason why I hate to reload 300 and I don't even have a gun to test with.
