I wanted to load my last 100 rounds of 38 Special today. I ended up with only 94 cases so I went out to my garage where I had 20 cases that needed to be prepped. So I prepped them in order to have an even 100 to load. I finished that up and cleaned my gun from shooting this morning. I prepped a bunch of 357 Magnum cases. I organized my closet with all my ammo boxes.

I still have ~300 cases of 9mm to prep and 50 cases of 7.62x38R to prep and load.

I had a lot going on today so I didn’t get as much done as I wanted to.

I retrieved 200 rounds of 357 Magnum cases from my tumbler with walnut shells and blew out the primer holes with compressed air. I organized and labeled my boxes and entered them into my inventory app. I placed all the cases in my loading blocks and hand primed all of them with regular SPP as they are all going to be bunny fart loads. I set up my press and powder measure for the Trail Boss powder. And I retrieved 500 heads (DG 158gr SWC Powder Coated)  from my inventory for loading tomorrow. I took inventory of all of the different heads I have for 357 magnum and I realized I am getting low so I need to order more or make more. Right now prices are relatively low on lead heads still so I think I’ll order them and save my casting lead for more lean times.

My target frames look like that. :rofl:

My wife suddenly became a smart ass when she said "I thought you are supposed to hit the round circle in the center....."

 :grrr:  Made me feel just wonderful.......
Sounds like the joke could be on her, in your choice of targets to hit  :P

I continued prepping brass from my last few outings. It has been cold out here so I limit the amount of time I spend in my garage. It looks like I will need to bring some of the brass prep inside now. Anyway, I prepped all my 7.62x38R brass. And last time I was at the range these nice people gave me all of their 38SPL and 357Mag brass so I finished prepping those. I also have about 500 rounds of 9mm I am in the middle of prepping.

I loaded another 100 rounds of 357 Magnum.

I just started using the 38/357 LSWC PC boolits I bought from DG Bullets. I am not too happy with the powder coating on this batch. And I was happy with the last batch of boolits I bought from Summit City. BTW, Summit City has a 5% off for returning customers and 15% off for X-Mas Sale right now.So far their CS has been very good and their bullets have been good as well. Here is the URL:

They ship USPS so I imagine they will ship to Hawaii.

Depends but yesterday was Unique. I have been using Trail Boss for the bunny farts and H110 with magnum primers for the heavy loads. But the heavy loads I have been using FMJ bullets. The LSWC Powder Coated boolits shoot very nicely under Unique and the recoil is moderate.

I used to run lubed lead 158 swc with 14.5 H110.
It has a nice thump without shaking the false teeth out of your mouth.

I know we can push the coated bullets harder, but I don't drive my Nissan at 80 mph all the time either.

Cool! I’ll load a few of those today. I’m planning to go to the range tomorrow with the powder coated boolits.

Today I’m loading another 100 rounds of 357 Magnum but without the magnum. Using Trail Boss on these.

I finished up all my case prep for today. Tomorrow I do inventory on all my once fired brass and start planning for increasing my ammo stores. I need to buy more heads.

Summit City and Acme does red as well. But I would say the Summit City boolits are a more festive (Brighter) red than Acme.
