    Okay, so I tried the "picture on the milk carton" idea. Not going to do THAT again! I'm not taking Kazoo's advice anymore! That's going to leave a scar.

    I've started working out after work since I got back from the Grand Pacific shoot. Nice by-product of that is my cooling down period in the basement (it's always cooler down there) is just about right for two boxes of 12 ga reloading.
    Finished a case of rounds last night. And, I've got another thou of 147 gr 9mm's coming from Extreme Bullets. BTW, they have free shipping this month.

    It is interesting reading. With articles written by guys with names like Hodgdon, Page and O'Connor, all you can say is there's a solid foundation there.

    Here's a link to 4 old manuals:

    I ordered some lead (Keith 173g .358 and 265g .452) from Beartooth. If these work out then I'll add the Keith 250g .430 for my .44.

    Tested my first 9mm rounds using the CFE Pistol. Metered very well. Looks like VERY tiny flakes, small enough that it flowed well in the powder measure.

    Loaded up 15 each with 5.3gr, 5.5gr, and 5.7gr, using Xtreme 115gr plated round nose, at 1.125" OAL. Made sure to test all the round in both of my 9mm pistols. All of them seemed good, a little snappier than my titegroup rounds, which I'm thinking I may have loaded a little light. Muzzle flash was minimal, and both guns were pretty clean afterwards.

    Going to use the 5.5gr load and load up a couple hundred 9mm.

    Measured Case capacity on some old brass; had a friend run my load thru QL & it came back OVERPRESSURE. Will now be pulling these down & reworking the load; ugh

    Bent the flat spring inside the ram on my press. Have to call RCBS I guess.

    Helped jreifsch / Justin, sort his berdan brass, from everything else. Found 75 pcs of 1X Hornady 44mag . It's a message from the spirits, Buy A lever action 44mag.

    I'm not sure why you would ever doubt such a thing.

    If that's how the gun spirits speak to us, then I should probably buy a bunch of guns in .380 because I seem to always find a bunch of .380 mixed in with my 9mm! ...of course I always seem to find it just AFTER I've seated a 9mm bullet in the .380 case...

    cleaned .45 brass now time to reload. I shot up the last reloads over the weekend. Was happy to find the Berry's bullets I use at Cabellas. Quick price check on internet shows the same price. Bought one box should have bought both of them.
