    9mm Bullets and other bullets in stock.
    Over the weekend I pulled 147gr. for a 9mm run and noticed the real heavyweights were empty or nearly empty (158 and 165 respectively).
    Last night I went on a half hearted search looking for 158 and/or 165 gr plated bullets with no real expectations of finding any in stock anywhere on the planet.
    After about 5 no stock matches-I thought Biden had-er was resting peacefully. IN-STOCK. And a lot of them.
    After some looking. Lots of 115, 124, 135, 147, 165 in RN, FP, HP, etc.
    Also 380, 40/10mm, 45, 223.

    Also RMR has some copper plated 124 gr. In-stock at the moment.

    Loaded up some small batch 45gap finally. Bought to try to find more brass for cheap.

    How do you do that?

    thought i replied to this! weird.

    so i reload those gamo viper express air gun shotshells (which arent meant to be reloaded) but sharpening the mouth of a .22 lr casing and using it as a hole punch for card stock, playing cards, cigarrete hard packs, note cards whatever is handy, make up a bunch of those and put one in the base of the cartridge and the load of shot (i use #6 or smaller for the airgun) and then one on top.

    i switched to a old piece of .223 because it makes the same sized holes but is easier to hold.

    i figure i can load a powder charge (to be determined) one of those cardstock discs, tamp it down a bit then load shot and crimp.

    i almost never do anything in the world of reloading as the title says.

    but today is a red letter day. i got a couple boxes of primed .22 lr rimfire brass for handloading shotshells for the Henry GG.


    still a few in stock.

    I reload .38 special shot, #9 or #12 shot. Never thought of doing .22LR. Interesting.

    plus i have always loved colibri .22s but these days they cost as much as regular rounds, and since they dont use powder im hoping i can make some up as well pretty easily

    Worked up some 45LC subsonic loads. Used Grizzly 335 grain WLNGC bullets over power pistol powder. 5 shot average 1049fps/818 # of energy. Sure is nice to be able to load 5 rounds, then shoot them out the window of the loading room through the chronograph.

    Neighbor said they sounded like 22 subsonic rounds.

    Prepped some 220 Swift brass as well.

    I ordered another 500 pieces of 45gap brass and a few more 7-08 brass. Trying to find a little 7.62x54 brass now.
