    Looks like 6.5 CM boolits. Good deal. I loaded up 50 140g Noslers last night. Tonight was sizing, trimming, and cleaning 100 cases of 6.5 Grendel. Tomorrow will be stuffing them with 123g ELD's and 8208XBR. It's funny. That powder is apparently the go to stuff on Grendel rounds. Rarely see it used elsewhere. I loaded some 6.5 CM with it, just cause. It was no better than the go to H4350.
    I found what I think was a deal on 500, only .21c each... I paid around $104 with shipping. I have a few sites that do bulk that I check out, but I just started using the "RELOADING" feature on ammo seek. I've come across some deals better than the normal bulk place that includes free shipping.

    It will be my first time to load up the 6.5cm, I'm hoping I find a good recipe that works well in my rifle. I'll work up a few next payday & play around & see how they do.

    Damn! Thank you Southpaw, um EZ. I hadn't seen that before. I'm paranoid after the last ammo shortage. I'm trying to keep a little stockpile.

    Realized today that my app hadn't been working. Turned it on for the first time in 10 days or so and what do I see? A pull started for a dishwasher.... You guys sure are an interesting bunch, you know that?

    I cleaned my bench and ran about 650 223s through one of the pro1000s. They are wolf bullets for plinking. I finished 1 small buckets of brass, now only have one left with 450 pieces in it. I'll use it to finish the wolfs and then I still have 500 vmax and 500 zmax to load up. Gonna need to pickup some more brass.

    That said, you guys talking about where you get your brass: Lonestar handgun sells brass by the pound for $2. You can pick through and take what you want. I get about 15# of mostly 223 brass for $30 and it yields about 1200 cases. They used to have pistol calibers pre sorted and I have bought 9mm and 45 that way. $20 was about 1000 45s and about 1300 9s I think. Been a while though.

    Ordered 500 7.62x39 (hopefully) once fired brass to begin my journey in creating my own 6.5 grendel cases.

    Gnashing my teeth, argued with (ok, really more like pleaded) Fedex to make sure that my POF 6.5 ar10 actually gets delivered... as if I don't already have enough guns to reload for.

    Yesterday I loaded up 400 9mm match ammo. I realized I was running low on the cast bullets I use in them so today I went out and ran 15 lbs or so of that bullet. I'll do another 15-20 lbs tomorrow and that should keep me for a couple of months.

    Spent several more hours cleaning up and reorganizing the reloading room... before, and after... I now actually know where to look for a particular caliber's bullets, and I can walk though without breaking toes and such

    We put a couple offers on houses and got 2 accepted. The first one was smaller but had a huge she'd in the back and an AC unit in the garage. We opted for the bigger house with a pool and 2 more rooms because of all the crotch fruits getting older and needing more space... These girls are gonna be the death of me.

    I'm making plans for a reloading space with a taller bench and shelving behind it for the garage and I'm gonna try to get a window AC in there to make it bearable in the summer.

    Last weekend I finished off all my wolf bullets for my 223 loads. Cleaned, boxed up, and stored in a fat 50 can.
