    I've got brass if anyone wants it. All total probably 1/2 a 5 gallon bucket full. 40, 45, 38spc, 5.56, 308.

    It's 100% once fired. I'm in Pflugerville.

    Oh, there is probably some reman Freedom Munitions mixed in the 40.

    PM me.

    Recently I got into .45 Colt and 44-40 Vaqueros so I have been reloading for those.
    I realized I don't have any plastic ammo boxes for FAT handgun rounds.
    I have all sorts of .30/.32, 9mm/.38 handgun and 30/8mm cal rifle cases but no 44/45????

    I guess I'll get some eBay MTM or Berry's plastic ammo boxes for the reloads.
    Today I loaded some resized .429 down to .427 JHP 200 grain Hornady into some Star-Line brass with 19 grains of IMR 4227 for my 1892 Winchester and Ruger Vaquero 44-40 Revolver.

    These are HOT LOADS (1100 fps??) that I will likely be used on occasion but lead flat point is mostly what I shoot.

    Cool weather is coming and I will fire up the lead pot to cast a supply for later on when it is too hot in the shop next year.

    I am always looking for strange cases that I reload like...............
    8 X 56R Steyr
    7.62 X 38R Nagant Revolver
    9 X 18mm Makarov
    6.5 X 52 Carcano
    30 M1 Carbine

    I never seem to have enough ammo. blame Obama

    I'll keep my eye out for you. I think I have exactly one piece of 9x18 and one piece of .30 carbine brass. I always bring a baggie of miscellaneous brass to Hicksville - just 'cause.

    Besides cleaning my shop, organized my loading area. My air-conditioned, concrete floor man-cave downstairs had all of the old kitchen cabinets put in when the house was remodeled. Utilizing a couple of drawers for dies, scale etc. on the left, bullets on the right:

    I like your setup.
    I have to use my car repair shop with the welding table for reloading but at least it is only a hundred feet from the house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The wife rarely comes down to the shop because it's 'BORING'.

    I got the TV and Radio so I am NEVER ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My shop is NOT boring!!!!

    Sane here... One carbine and one makarov. If I get more I'll let them go on here to anyone who wants them. Thinking of using some of the range pickup 223 brass that gets mixed in with my AK brass. Maybe I'll stop trashing it and will wait until I get about 500 or so. Maybe the. I'll get some dies and load them. And maybe then I'll be able to talk the wifey into letting me buy something to shoot them.

    I still want a mini-14 from accuracy systems!

    Moved a bag of spent brass. Just to get to my good screwdrivers.
    Sorry. That's as close as I got today.
