Thanks Tom, I have a video of him a couple years ago doing the same.
I helped him finish up, I put 'em in the press and he pulled the handle on the last 50 or so.
Dumped them in the tumbler this morn, about 40 mins. ago.
I found one new piece of brass that was primed in the bunch. ;) a bonus. :lol:

Going to load up the .45 Colt I shot up yesterday[not the leverevolution brass] with 6.0gr Red Dot. Likin' that load a lot. So, next range session will be at the mountain range. Same revolver with the RD load and 7.2gr Universal. Same bullet. The Shoot Out! 8-)
Tom, I've been out of Red Dot for some time now so my go-to load for 45 Colt is 7.2 of Universal with 250 gr RNFP. My Marlin and Blackhawk both like that load and it's plesant to shoot.

Too bad shipping powder is such a pain as a local guy yesterday put up a new 4 lb jug of Red Dot for $160. Not great but if you need some you need some.

Paul, $40 a lb. isn't that bad, especially this day and time.

Universal has filled the void for now. I've got several pounds on the shelf and hopefully things will start to improve. My local shop has Power Pistol on the shelf and that's another alternative.

No, I’m not currently loading anything with Red Dot. Kinda wish I was with $40 no tax for powder. (What am I saying :shock: ) My how the times have changed.

Put together 100 rounds of 308 Win. to take to my daughter's house this weekend. Her hubby has a new Springfield SOCOM he wants to test out. Last fall he gave me a bag of 308 brass so I decided to prep some of them to reload. Come to find out 3/4 of the brass were Berdan primers so into the brass recycle bin they went. Out of a bag of 300-400 rounds only 74 were reloadable. Fortunately I had some extra brass.

Finished loading .45 Colt with 6.0gr Red Dot[the forty load] and 250gr coated rnfp from T & B bullets. Gad zooks, I'm down to 100 T & B and 400 naked Missouri bullet! Will be ordering shortly. Good thing is, no empty .45 Colt cases. All stuffed. Now, it's on to .45 acp. Like I need more. Course I do!

My little deprimming helper.
The 45 colt brass showed up today, and he's been wanting to play with the presses.
I have my 11 year old grandson for three weeks over the summer. First words out of his mouth yesterday "Are we going to do any reloading grandpa?"

Has anyone seen 6.5 Grendel? I keep kicking myself for going with an obscure size.

Hey RT, I hate to say it but I have been working none stop, just got back from Texas. Got home and I had to deal with an issue with one of of my German Shorthair's, she developed a small lump on her belly, took her to the vet, didn't hesitate, said emergency surgery. The next morning he cut out a four pound tumor on her spleen (and her spleen). Got the stitches out yesterday and found out the biopsy was malignant. She is doing great but just don/t know how much time we have left. Day at a time. She is only 4 and one of my best GSPs I have ever had.

Texas was 90 degrees with 70 per cent humidity. We are at around 105 here in Arizona with 5%, It is much more comfortable.
