Resized about 80 cases earlier this week.
Got about 20 of them trimmed and chamfered. (Thank You Milwaukee!)
Looking to load at least 20, maybe 40 for this weekend if I can get it finished up.

Bought at least a hundred rounds a double decade ago when I bought the gun.
Bought a hundred 400 grain bullets and 500 300 grain jacketed bullets if I recall correctly along with 100 brand new Remington cases.

Bought at least another hundred loaded rounds or so over the next decade.

Had a friend on the internet who sold me another 120-150 Hornady 300-350 grain bullets.

Picked up a couple hundred Starline cases sometime in the last five or ten years and a box of 250 Meister 300 grain hard cast bullets.

I've been picking up primers from time to time but I ran across an old national match shoother sometime when the Obama panic was going on. I relieved him of a couple cans of Match .308, Match .30-06 and a can of .308 ball plus some brass. He tossed in 4 boxes of LR primers. I'm going to try them on the .45-70 and IF they work out I'll probably use them on .45-70 and .30-30 and maybe some 6.5x55.
