Site seems to be OK. Load issue should be resolved now.
What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Loaded up 200 rounds of .223 Rem. Seems I always load rifle ammo on days when it too cold to go outside and play. Besides I've been burning up the .223 on my last few range trips with my AR-15 and Ruger Mini 14.

As Paul said "the thought counts".
Heck I may do a little myself.

Picking up some Red Dot in a bit to load in .45 Colt and .45 acp. Something to try for the heck of it. This small store had 260 1lb bottles of Red Dot and 140 1lb bottles of Unique two weeks ago. 0 Unique left and 64 bottles of Red Dot left! On my way!

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Just got back from lgs with my pound of Red Dot. two fellas in front of me each had 4 lb and some shotgun loading items like wads, shot. 95% of Rick's business is with shotgunners, but, caters to us all when he can. Oh, he has plenty of Missouri bullets on hand. That was good to see. Still no primers.
Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Deprimed and flared about 200 38special shells. I have 100 357 magnum shells primed and just waiting for powder and bullet . Got way ahead of my self this week, don't usually shoot or load more than 100 a week
Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Loaded up some test loads for 32 H&R using Blue Dot and the Hornady 100gr XTP.
Funny story that I mentioned yesterday. Originally I intended to load up some 41 mags after a successful test with 2400. I went down to my reloading room and couldn’t find my fired brass. Looked all over and finally found it in my ammo cabinet already loaded up and ready to go.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
For target plinking in revolvers you might like the Red Dot in 45 Colt like 5-6 gr. with 200-250 gr. lead bullet.

Happy, what press are you using. I have been on the hunt for 209 primers for months. I had to resort to buying some factory 12 gauge.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Not really reloading per se, but getting ready to pack up my supplies for muzzle loading season that starts tomorrow in Texas. I want to tag a doe and a small BBq hog to make German smoked sausage and summer sausage. We have a couple more doe tags left over from the kid's hunt. It has snowed and sleeted this AM at the lease. All I got up on the Red River was 16* and a blue norther. Supposed to warm up a little later in the week.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Did the prep work on the .45 Colt cases I emptied in the desert, now I'm going to load 6.0gr Red Dot under a 250gr rnfp coated bullet from T & B.
Forty, if you read this, I saw your reply on previous page; not sure why I didn't answer, but, I'm trying that load. Looking forward to giving these a go.

Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
I'll try these in the Pietta and Henry. What about 5.0-5,5gr Red Dot in the Pietta?
Re: What did you do at your reloading bench today?
Pulled apart 100 .223 Rem reloads that were given to me. Since I'm not 100% sure of the load I figured it's safer to deconstruct them, dump the powder and charge them myself with a known load.
