I have discovered an optimal workflow for my brass prep courtesy of Covid and my work-from-home existence. I deprime with my Harvey deprimer at my desk during meetings. Depending on the level of engagement required of the meeting, I usually pop out between 150-250 rounds per meeting. This last week alone, I have decapped 2,000+ rounds during the normal course of business. Dump them in the wet tumbler in batches over the weekend. Yay multi-tasking!

Showing that you can multi task during a meeting. That right there, sounds like management material .

Management material would be making sure nothing is accomplished during the meeting.

WHOA........... you bucking for supervisor?


Sad but true. While working for the state, we'd have meetings on a daily basis, sometimes 2 a day. Because emails and delegating task was too difficult to do. After the 30 min mark, where the supervisor was telling us some people were complaining, the jobs we were doing were not done in a timely manner.

I said EXCUSE ME. if i may make a suggestion. How about we hold less time in meetings, and more time actually working.
We're at the 30 minute mark of our second meeting of the day. Total time spent today 2 hrs, talking. Overall that's an average of 10+ hours a week we're not doing real work.
Throw in the all dept meeting that usually runs 1.5 hours. That means we're down to a 28 hr work week. Anyone else see why the work is not getting done?

Damn gov employees, spend more time avoiding work, that getting it done. .



Now back on reloading. Today, nothing but, wander over to the reloading building and look at what i haven't done, the last month plus, due to health issues.

Soon the force will be strong in this one.

I do my part!

I am middle management, so all my meetings above and below involve other management. If you think nothing gets done in a conventional meeting, you should see the raw time-sucking fury of management to the third power.

Made a chamber cast of Dad's old Smith Corona 1903-A3. Mom gave it to him as a gift around '64 and I don't think he ever shot it.

I wanted to make sure it is still a 30.06 and wasn't modified. It measures out correctly. Now I need to find a headspace gauge to make sure it's okay to shoot.

Doing a few ladder test for .380 with 95 gr (everglades ammo) plated bullets. Running unique (3 gr- 2,8 and 2.6 gr) OAL of .965. Load data shows a flat poing bullet @ .900.

The OAL passed a plunk test with a friends ruger. Going to road test tomorrow, with another friends .380 Sig.

Why? because the daughter needs some 380 and i have ZERO .380's or even a case gauge.

Any input is, as always, appreciated. For those loading .380.


UPDATE. 2.8 gs causes FTE's. 3 gr unique, works fine.

Acquired some old dies, brass & powder to begin loading for the .45-70 that I do not yet own.
