Haha! I'm getting the hint of that now. Its all fun I'd be bored without her farm projects, and then I would run out of components, or have my 8n rebuilt. Then what would I do. :shrugs

My last month just flew by. I'm excited for the day after the wedding honestly. I have not either but my reloading room is one play I know to expect quiet and can relax. The hum of the chargemaster calms me 😂

Wedding is next friday and king of procrastination here sat down to load some 45/70 and think about writing my vows. Got that partially done and a handfuls of test loads done. Looking up on my powder shelf I see the the couple pounds of longshot I bought for my 10mm. Now to dig around and find some data to load some 180s and 200s with.

Majority of my time working outside I do pack one of my 12ga's. Handy and light. And very versatile side saddle can pack bird shot and back up slugs.

I'm still haven't fully decided, It probably more of a want then a need. My old 45/70 has all the omph I probably will ever need. I will say the last one I scared out of my orchard(which is just a stones throw from my chicken coup) I don't care what I had in my hands it felt small. He was a very big bruin. Decision decision, it does suck to invest in a new caliber during the day spell of components.

This is true, a bump in the night around here is usually of the four legged variety. I play the defensive game. I have my perimeter heavily fenced, and if it makes it way through that and into my livestock I'd like to have every bit of horsepower I can handle to deal with the situation. I honestly don't own a pistol bigger then my 10mms or the wife's Dan Wesson 357 lol. I do have a bag of 500 S&W brass collecting dust

I really do want a bruiser, Its very versatile with cast bullets, and the grizzly's do get pretty fair sized around here.

Anyone else have trouble with the app? I had trouble with it a couple months back, ended up frustrated. I type all my info in and it says "you are not logged in or do not have permission" I'm on the forum more with my phone then my laptop. What say the armory?

Been a while fellows, ran about two k 9mm between 147 and 124gr HP that my brother picked up from American Reloading, Ran another 1500 115gr for my G34 out. Now I'm leaning heavily into research on the 458 Win Mag. I do not know why I want one but its on my short list, just to find either a Savage or Remington Left handed 300 Win to make the conversion. Probably go the Savage route. Be the only honest left handed rifle I have. But that will wait as tomorrow I go pick up a 8n ford I have been pestering a guy about for the last three years since he bought it. Steering is locked up and has not ran in a while so I have a bit of work ahead of me. The stars just aligned, I figured mama bear would be pissed as we have been saving for our wedding this year. Yet she actually pushed me into it lol.

Private party on the 8lber for 150$ and the primers I did give 50$ a k which I thought was reasonable, He originally wanted a lot more I told him what I would honestly pay and he bit.

For some reason my Tapatalk app isn't working. Been fairly lucky lately. Picked up 8lbs of a surplus BCL-2 military substitute. Couple antique pounds of 296 marked at 10$ a pound, few k small rifle primers. Been loading a bit of 300blk and some 9mm, need to sit down and get serious I have 3k of 147gr to load and 2k of 75gr 223 to load, then some fodder 115 gr 9 to fill the PCC mags.

Not to jump in, Powder coating is pretty simple set up. Toaster oven from the thrift store, plastic number 5 recycled container, and a way to "strain" the excess powder coat off I use a piece of hardware cloth. Lay a piece of parchment paper or a silicone mat down and bake away.
