    Be an adult and do it yourself. Just search for the Hornady product numbers in your link.

    But something you keep missing. You don't need multiple powder measures. Just the rotor inserts.

    Ha

    I sorted all my 243 bullets by weight. I've got 10 loaded at 41.7 and 10 at 42. I plan to load 10 more at 42.3 and 42.6 but got a little mexican-food-flu and couldn't bare to do anymore yesterday. Hopefully I'll feel a little better soon and can get the rest done.

    My wife okayd me buying 15kg of powder for 350 delivered. Then I saved my tip money from work, which she said I can only use for gun stuff. Then when the day came to hit the button she started throwing a fit and I had to use my cash on something else. Then I sold a pistol specifically to use the cash from that for the powder. It still ended in a fight. I bought it anyway. 15 keys fit nicely in 4 gallon sized paint cans.

    ...I haven't even used half of one yet

    ETA: what kind of powder did you get?

    I got tired of stashing case feeder plates in haphazard places, so I turned some plywood scraps into a wall mounted holder for them. I'll finish sand it tomorrow and lacquer the whole thing before mounting on the wall:

    Made an excel form for a ladder test I will perform in the next week or so. Weatherby Ultralight in 25-06. I have had it for a year but have not fired it yet. Picked it up from an old friend, I saw it shoot 20 yrs ago, it drove tacks with Hornady custom ammo then. I just got clearance to shoot from my neurosurgeon a few days before dove season opened.

    Where did you go?


    16 lbs of Red Dot
    8 lbs of Clays
    8 lbs of Universal

    Gander Outdoors in Tyler. They also have Clay Dot in stock.

    I purchased a club membership for $29, it saved me $50 after the cost of the membership. It gives and additional 20% off closeout items.

    Sorry to hear that MailMan.

    Did you explain that there are deals then there are grab the CC deals?

    I try to keep my shenanigans under the radar and am generally able to do so.

    Of course I’m probably not near as slick as I think I am either!

    My wife thought I was going to buy one or maybe two. I added a Anderson lower, just because.

    One of the Red Dot kegs is for a buddy.

    I tried to explain to SWMBO that $8 a lb for powder is one of those grab the debit card and BUY NOW deals.

    I figure with my 24 lbs of powder that's close to 42,000 rounds of 9mm and .45 ACP.

    I've still got close to 12 lbs of the Ramshot Competition I bought on closeout a couple of years ago. That powder was $11/lb delivered.

    I've also got a 4 lb keg of Sport Pistol, and a 4 lb keg of IMR Red. I picked up the IMR Red for $50. Then there's all that WST I picked up when Gander closed their Corsicana store.

    If I had to hazard a guess....I've got enough powder to load close to a 200K of pistol rounds. I really need to stock up on primers. Wish I could still get the S&B for $20/1000.

    Same. I've reached the last of my s&b. I'm completely out of all pistol and only have a couple thousand Winchester SR left.

    Now my 2.5cent 9mm rounds are gonna cost me 3.2 cents!

    I sized ~300 H&G 115 boolits.

    Then I loaded up 150 of them over 3.8 gr Red Dot, then loaded 150 MP 125 RNFP over the same.

    Switched to the other 650 and loaded 200 rounds of .45 ACP.

    I had issues with my XDm not liking the Lee 230 tumble lube bullets. I have even seated the bullets super deep and crimped like crazy but I still get jams. About 3/5 rounds will not go fully into battery. The gun will shoot XTPs all day like butter though.

    Finally fed up with screwing around trying to get the casts to chamber so I just ordered a couple boxes of Hornady HAPs. The wife okayd me to get 1 box but I found them cheaper online so I ordered 2. Just need to make sure she doesn't try to pickup the box when it comes though. Don't need her hurting herself.
