I'm happy to report thatmy .38spl problems in post #371 were quickly solved with a trip through the Lee Factory Crimp Die!.
All my misfits passed the plunk test in my Lyman chamber gauge block, after their treatment.

Loaded 300 38 super tonight- Winchester brass , Servicios Aventuras SPP , Acme Coated 125gr. RN - W244 powder for my S&W 627 Performance Center 38 super and my Rock Island 1911 38 super which has a stainless match barrel, a real Bomar Sight Rail and a Swenson stainless 2 piece guide rod with custom maple burl grips compliments of my brother in law. Both are extremely accurate .

A nice collection of 7.62 x 39 cases and .310 bullets awaiting the mythical large rifle primers

I have another 38-44 project waiting. I did inital development of a rcbs-180-sil in Winchester 38 cases with #9. I did a quick ladder and accuracy put me at 9.0 grains of #9. Fast forward a year or so, and I was shooting these at 200 yards competing against my son at the local range. The groups weren't fantastic to say the least but I was keeping up with peeps against the new Christmas gifts being sighted in. Needless to say I had a blast and I need to break out the crono and get some numbers involved. Let the testing begin.....

They would have to keep them. Too bad you aren't close by.
That said, I did pay almost $100 per 1K for some CCI-34 primers early on during this craziness.
Other than that though, I have plenty of LR primers for my needs.

I’m tapping into product purchases from 2003, now. My buying slowed down around 2009 so I have a few years before I have to start thinking about current prices. Hopefully I will live that long.
I didn’t pay it. But I’m getting under 2k on hand and that makes me start getting nervous
I have a mess waiting for me. I had a pocket full of brass that I picked up at the range the otherday, so I went to drop it off in my reloading room.
When I got there I found both my dillon presses were dumped over on the floor.
Seems my storage system had a structural flaw. I have a bookshelf that I drilled holes in one of the shelves, to which I can attach the presses when I'm not using them. The shelf is the type that sits on pins, and it must have gotten a bit heavy toward the front and tipped out of the case.
I cleaned up the spent primers and powder that spilled out of the measures.
Now I have to make sure everything is ok and come up with a better storage system.

Luckily it doesn't look like anything was seriously damaged.Oh, man! That hurts my heart to read. I hope everything comes out well.

I’ve got a press waiting for me to change over to load up some 30-30’s, this will be another first for me. Brass is all prepared. Got a box of Sierra 170’s to load. Will start with a couple sets of 5 rounds at lower end of powder range and see hot they shoot.

What do I have waiting? Well:
I have 100 308 Lapua cases prepped and primed waiting on the Grandson to come over and help me load them.
I also have a large washtub that I put my collected range brass in all year long. I deprime them when I get home from the range but I save them up all year and sort and tumble them after hunting season closes. That will be an ongoing project for the next few weeks.

I have a couple of buddies that come over after hunting season and we spend a couple of days casting bullets for the rest of the year. Late winter or early spring before it gets hot.

Same here but I just finished sorting out all of mine. I'm REALLY impressed with the strong mount but, alas I only have room for two strong mounts I'd have to get rid of some things to make it work for the other three.

There is always something waiting to be done. I have to collect our used up ammo and get it prepped to load again.
I picked up forty pounds of range brass that needs to be separated.
