I'll be getting there sometime Saturday morning. Maybe we'll run into each other.
If you need someone to spot and call I'll be glad to for you!

Sorted one and a half large coffee cans of 223 range brass. Mostly federal and lake city, going to try to swage it this weekend.

Nothing, absolutely nothing, but I did go in the shed where I had my reloading equipment years ago, and struck gold, 4 large boxes of .22, a few hundred .308 (fmj), , 5.56mm, 9mm, .40, .45. I had completely forgot about those rounds, I think my range time will be decent this spring.
Like Christmas again! Lol

Got a load worked up for my antelope hunt this fall ( if we draw a tag) for my 6.5 BRM Contender pistol. 123 gr. Hornady SST with H-4350 powder. Lights out at 100 yds. .629" groups as long as I do my part. 30-30 Win. on the left for comparison. It's essentially a 6.5 x 30-30 improved.

Man that's some fine shooting, especially with a pistol!

I placed an order to Brownell's for a WFT in .223, Sinclair chamber gauges in .223 and .30 and another loading tray. One of these days I'll have everything I could possibly need........ or......

Swaged all my 223 federal brass, measured and trimmed and got about a third of it chamfered and deburred.
Shot 20 rounds through the 6arc with the new Burris scope on it, wasn't just overly happy with those loads I had for continuing barrel break in and getting the scope close. Those were 24.5 imr4895 under 100 grain hornady interlocks in Lapua cases with cci450 primers. Best 5 shot group was barely under an inch, but I think the groups will tighten with the aa2520 loads I am going to try. Also had a wide spread on velocity, but overall way too low.

Any leads on finding 200 gr round nose bullets for 35 rem?

I stocked up on Hornady 200gr FTX as they weren't too hard to find at times in the last year or so. A quick look showed not many places have them right now but Opticsplanet say they
do. Wont let me post link for some reason.

Thanks, I enjoy hunting with a handgun more each year. All my friends use rifles, and that's fine, I just prefer the Shortgun.

Thank you
I cleaned up a little!

My bench would scare most people that know anything at all about loading ammo but I know where everything is. Sometimes 
Actually, I'll soon be adding another section of bench that's down in my shop and moving everything to another room. At that point I'll be doing some deep sorting, hanging on pegboard, etc and it'll look like I know a little bit about what I'm doing.

I don't even know if my "area" would even be considered as a "bench" I've got some tables and a couple of desks, but I get it done, somehow LOL

My table and bench are in bad need of cleaning up, problem is I don't have a dedicated space to put what is on the table. I really need some shelves and to extend my table space. My existing table is actually dual purpose, home stuff and gun stuff. I do know what's there though, and I am able to clear the area around my press and intellidropper when I am loading.

Did a little straightening up today. Ran my federal 223 brass through the fart without pins, to wash out any shavings. Started swaging lake city brass.
Had to show the 6.5cm some love tonight. 143eldx, 140 Barnes matchburner & 140 hornady bthp. Gonna be 50 and sunny Saturday will bring the 7-08 with 120 NBT loads & 6.5 to find go to loads. Looking forward to burning powder I've loaded last 3 months.
