    Didn't load or shoot anything, but I did drive to Wisconsin to meet the guys from TJ Conavera, and brought back 40k bullets to test.
    I have dealt with TJ since the company was an Ebay store. I have always thought that prices were competitive, and service was excellent. Give us a review of what you are testing, since I am getting ready to put an order in with them real soon.

    BTW, the wife really irritated the pi** out of me tonight, so I am back on the press, going to try to get about 1k of 230 gr .45 ACP cranked out. I'm up to about four hundred right now.:D

    Deep breath, go outside and smoke a cigarette if you smoke. Otherwise, take a light walk. Don't reload when you're pissed, it's a recipe for error and disaster.

    And I'll keep you posted about the bullets flight. :)

    Nothing major, just the time of year. Had a smoke and turned on season 1 of the Big Bang Theory, and started planning on my course of fire for in the morning while I am sitting here pulling the handle up and down:yesway:

    Started last night, I've done about 500 or so .223's with about 1000 to go. Ive got it planned to also crank out about 1000 .308's while I'm off this weekend.
    It would be nice if I could get to that 5gal. bucket of 9mm too.

    Churned out 200 .223 last night on the rockchucker. Loading a 55 great vmax over 27 gr of reloader 15. That should be enough to get me through coyote season and a trip or 2 to the range.

    I had a wonderful firearms weekend. Saturday I shot about 400 rounds of 9mm followed by a brick of .22 lr on Sunday. Today, I loaded up about 300 rounds of 38 special. I just started reloading this fall, so 300 rounds takes me a little while on a single stage press.

    Went to the range with son #2, son in laws 1&2 today and had a good time.

    We shot 45 Colt, 44Mag, a ton of 45ACP some 9mm, 380, as well as some 12ga & 20ga.

    Got a lot of cases to tumble and load though! :D

    Watched as my son shot his new Savage Model 10 FLP in 308 Win. The loads were a middling charge of IMR4320 under a 147gr FMJ. These were the first 10 rounds down the tube and after roughly sighting in with the first 5, the last 5 were minute-of-milk-jug. A good time was had by all. :)

    I was shooting my longbow yesterday afternoon and the neighbor started making noise on his range. I went over there and shot two different AR's for the first time. No surprise to anyone here but those things were cool. One exposure to those rifles may be just enough to catch the bug. It was a great learning experience with him explaining the differences and function characteristics of each rifle.
    Went back home and tossed 40 rounds of 9mm and 50 round of .40 down range.
    Somewhat of an anemic day compared to you guys but it was fun.
