That’s a S&B case in the middle that I could not deprime on my Lee Auto Breech Lock Pro. Locked it up! That’s one heck of a primer crimp!

I was happy with my Caldwell until it wouldn’t connect/register with the phone app anymore….Yow. Those Garmins are pricey. Nice, but oh, the price. I am also looking at the new Caldwell Chronograph Kit with Bluetooth at Midway. 1/5th the price Garmin with good reviews.
I had pretty good results with the 68gr Matchburners in my 243.I bought 2 boxes of 6mm 75 grain speer varmitors for testing in 6x45. The 100 shots with the Sierra 75 was wonderful... 68 matchburners are on deck next for testing....
Bill threaded and chambered 2 barrels for me last year. He's a great guy!Decided to organize my 7-08 pile from long past silhouette matches. Kept finding range boxes of fired brass (thankfully marked for rifle and # of times fired). Can't remember how many cases I'd originally bought, but since I have 250 loaded rounds (Win 760, Win primed, R-P brass, and SMK 100, 130 & 150 bullets over various charges) it appears I was really lazy when brass was cheap. Decapped 800+ rounds of empties and have been running the tumbler day & night cleaning things up.
Since I'm a paper in notebooks person (with targets and chrono tapes on them), records - including scope settings for the targets - are all in hand.
Off to Bass Pro for some supplies, and down to AR Gun Traders to pick up the 220 Swift. Had Bill look at it, he pointed out sloppy machining marks on the last 1" at the muzzle - might explain why very few rounds appear to have gone through this gun. Bill cut the barrel by 1-1/4" (now a 24-3/4") and put an 11 degree match crown on the end.
Gonna need apic of that fly fishing rod/reel. My grandpa used to make those also back in the 30's[?]. Those were all gone before I even heard about 'em.As I posted earlier, I moved my reloading bench from the basement to the garage. One of the obvious things I was missing in the move was empty ammo boxes for my reloads. I found ONE box, and I knew I had three dozen or more. Gone, so I thought.
Well, I went out in the garage this morning and poked around. Under some Christmas decoration boxes, was a large unmarked box. It was light, so I had hope. I opened it, and Voila! Ammo Boxes Galore;

I almost orderd some from Midway yesterday to replace these that I had thought were tossed out by accident, or at best hopelessly misplaced. That order would have been a waste. I have plenty, as you can see. Luckily, I have five 44 Magnum boxes, so I have storage for my (new to me) 45 Long Colt reloads.
As a bonus, in the box was my grandfather's 12 ga reloading kit and Tomlinson Gun Cleaning Kit with the old large wooden cleaning rods. I think my late father told me these were from the late 1920s. The reloading press is a now antiquated Sears and Roebuck. I had forgotten about these. A nice surprise, and another "Sporting" connection to my grandfather. I have his bamboo fly fishing rod and reel hanging in my cabin. I was planning on putting these items out near my reloading bench as decorative memorabilia;
