I can’t imagine the hours I’ve spent at the bench? Use to have a boy on one side and a girl on the other both under 5 years. Now they are 35 and 37. Hard to say where the time goes. Very shortly I’ll have another boy and girl on each side but they will be Grandbabys 😊

I have my shotgun shells pretty much under control. I'm doing rifle now and working on load development for a 38-55, 375, and 6.5-55. The shells are loaded but the weather isn't cooperating to test them

Trying to decide whether to switch up my MEC 600 from 2 1/2" to 2 3/4". Have a bag of 3-400 black RGL's , and scored 2 bags of DR16 wads this week, thanks to Kenny. And plenty of 20/28 powder for light 16 ga 7/8 oz loads. I love loading RST and other cheddite hulls , and get great crimps. Switching over will mean a lot of crimp adjustments--but hey, what else is there to do under the current situation. I could load up more 3/4 oz loads with the DR16 wad in the short shells, but I have settled on 7/8 oz being my preferred load, and the DR16 does not work well in 2 1/2" hulls with 7/8 oz. Use SG16 for that.
Hang I there everybody--I fear the situation will get much worse before it gets better.

Bill, you're a puppy. I have my great grandchildren down in my reloading room. I started two different houses ago. In this one it's grand and great grand children. Ya, it makes you wonder where the time goes.

Paul off topic, is the Lapeer shoot on, I haven't heard.

I’m almost done getting my loading room back in a semblance of order . And after that I wanna get maybe 850-1000 28’s done and the same of 20’s . After that I wanna do all the empty 16 gauge hulls I have . Those will all be done on 9000’s . After that if my arm still works I wanna load 150 10 gauge dove/skeet loads and use the remaining 50 brand new hulls for some new ideas in buckshot/slug loading . About the only rifle stuff I’m loading at the moment to any amount is 222 and 6 PPC . But I wanna load some more 7x57 for the range . Got a nice used Pachmayer side mount that might go on my 8 x56 MS if that’s the case I’ll need to load some more of them as well .

May 9th, but I'm not sure yet. I'll make up my mind by the first week in April. I'll post then.
