    Started yesterday on 1500 223s. I got 150 done so far. Its slow going because the brass has crimped primer pockets. Its still fun and I will be busy a while
    what I do with crimped brass is size and deprime. Then I take my lyman crimp remover bit and chuck it in my cordless drill and just go to town on those little devils. It makes short work of them. Just fyi

    Just loaded 50 12 gauge shells for my next cowboy action match. Used Win 244 and a #14 bushing in my Sizemaster. No published loads that I could find so I made one. Going to make another hundred .38 Specials with 3.5 grains behind a Lee 125 grain RNFP.

    Loading up blank rounds for my tank. As you can see in my avatar, they give a nice smoke signature. However, I found out how flammable coffee creamer is, and loaded some rounds with creamer on top of my normal powder charge.

    Wait, what? You are implying components are available!
    What little I have left is waiting for dire emergencies.

    Short answer, nothing right now.

    I am finding supplies for .223/5.56 readily available at this time. Small Rifle Primers from Natchez, Processed Brass from Capital Cartridge, Factory Second bullets from Midway, and Hodgdon H335 from MidSouth all at reasonable prices.

    Different people have different standards for "available" and "reasonable prices." If you're like me and only got into reloading this year, then you've never known anything except >9 cents a piece primers that come in and out of stock every couple weeks, and powders starting at $30/pound, not counting hazmat fees. For people who paid 3-5 cents a piece for primers just 3 years ago, these prices are outrageous.

    I've been load developing for my 300 wm. Struggling but finally got a decent grouping load.

    I got my buddy a rifle at an auction and loaded him up 20 rds so he'd have something to shoot. He came over last Saturday to pay for rifle nad get his new piece. I said let's shoot. Damn thing clover leafed 3 at 100yds. Gotta love an older Remington 700.

    I am always making AAC 300 Blackout brass and purchasing components for winter time reloading hobby. I only have a single stage Lee Press, so I just do things on the slow and easy going mode...
