    Loaded up 30 460 S&W Magnums for the Meet Saturday so I had some for people to try.

    If you want to shoot some weaker ones you need to bring them. Keep in mind 45 Colt and 454 Casull work too. 45 Auto Rim too if you can find them....

    Just found out my rcbs case prep machine was sent to my old address. The house is vacant and FedEx just left it on the porch. So some porch pirate just came up with a new rcbs machine.

    Keep an eye out on Craigslist...maybe you could find it & call popo & set up a sting. Im sure yours isnt the only package stolen the last several months.

    I knew someone that bought a new GSXR750RR, it got stolen from his apartment 2 nights later. Fast forward 2 months & he had been scanning craigslist & eneded up finding it. He call the cops & set up a sting. They arrested the guy that stole it.

    When one moves you need to CAREFULLY check your ship to address when ordering items. USPS will forward packages for a short while but the other services won't.

    Many people forget this simple step. I've had people think that by filling out a change of address with the USPS that the USPS will inform everyone of their new address.

    I've done business with this company before. When I ordered it I made sure it had my new address. The guy just used my.old address he had on file. His partner used the correct address for the 450 upper though. The guy knows he dropped the ball and he says he will make it right. Just gotta wait for the insurance. I've already been scanning Craigslist. I had that idea last night!

    Finally making a little progress trying to get started reloading. Got some brass tumbled and got the press almost set up. Be a lot easier to get started if I could get some time, worked a little over 70 hours so far this week and have to go back in tomorrow for a while :banghead:

    Nice choice in press.

    Edit. Noticed you don't have the primer alarm...its worth having.

    It came with the primer alarm, just didn't get it put on there yet. Had to be back at the office at 6 this morning and figured I better get a little sleep. Hopefully I will be able to get dies setup, get everything adjusted and start reloading a few rounds tonight or tomorrow.

    I thought I was working a lot. What do you do?

    I went to the garage and setup my 223 sizer in my single stage. Then when I looked at the bag of brass I said nah. Thinking I need to try some spray lube to speed things up.

    I do sales, purchasing, quoting, and some logistics for a commercial and industrial insulation supplier. Have a 2 million dollar project starting, and we just crammed about 1/2 a million more inventory for this project than we normally stock into our warehouse when corporate decided we needed to do inventory. Talk about throwing a wrench into an already jacked situation. Hopefully after this week, I will go back to my normal 50-60 hours a week.

    Shooting buddy came over to load some ammo. I was cleaning brass. He loaded up 400 each of 9mm and .45 ACP and I loaded up 400 .45 ACP, I got almost all the .45 brass cleaned. Having four tumblers really helps!

    Finally got around to loading some big boy rounds on the 1050

    Finished the proc box and added wire labels just to quiet the "haters" :)
