    Spilled 100 small pistol primers all over the floor. Of course they headed for parts unknown. That's what I did at my reloading bench.

    Loaded fifty 9mm's using 125gr LCN, S&B primers, & 800-X powder with a trickler. Using the trickler because 800-X doesn't throw well at all in my RCBS measure. :-( But I have lots of 800-X mainly for shotgun so I figure I'll just use it also with 9mm too until it's gone.
    The process isn't very fast but is very therapeutic. LOL!

    Threw together some 6.5CM test rounds over the weekend to test in 2 different guns. Interesting with little attention to brass prep, they actually shot pretty well. However my dads likes 40gr of H4350 and my RPR likes 42gr using 140gr ELDs. Hopefully we can find a hotter load for my dads gun as we need it to go out to 1,200 yards. No pics sorry.

    It's probably already been posted on here somewhere, but I figured asking here would be better than making it's own thread.

    What are you guys using to hold your shellholders? I know they make little plastic boxes to keep them in, but I have around 25+ shellholders from RCBS, Lee and Hornady. I'm just looking for some DIY ideas so I can make my own thing.

    A couple of these small compartment organizer cases would do the trick. I use these for all my archery small parts, too.

    Just a thought.

    :facepalm: I can't believe I didn't even think of that. Thanks for reminding me. That'll work fine

    I put one of those magnet strip tool holders on the leg of my reloading bench, right next to the press. So they are always right there, incredibly easy to grab one and put it back. Takes up no space on the actual bench.

    That's the way to go IMO

    Not a damned thing.

    Have plenty of .260 brass in various stages of prep, but running low on 142gr SMK's and even less free time.
