HOLD THE PRESS!!!I was out in the shop earlier today and I just couldn't talk myself into prepping cases or loading anything. But I did do a bit of inventory and I must say that I have entirely too much cleaned brass sitting in the cabinet.
16,500 9mm and 9,500+ 223/556 & 1,400+ miscellaneous calibers, all cleaned.
6,000 9mm and 1,100 Ik22 223 dirty.
I am contemplating taking the dirty brass to the recycler along with 8 peanut containers of spent primers, I should have a decent payday.
There's a Party Goin' On Right HERE!HOLD THE PRESS!!!
I may have a buyer for the dirty 9mm.

It kinda looks like that big pin had worked its way so it's no longer flush?Adjusted the Square Deal B from 38spl to 357mag.
Set it up for 6.0grns of WIN244, 158grn jacketed round nose from American Reloading.
Ran ~130 through it and then it went POP on the downstroke.
The frame cracked entirely through.
A quick phone call to Dillon Precision and they gave me an RMA number and said they'd replace the press.
Just got it apart and back into the original box for return.
This press was serviced by Dillon a couple years ago, and I just lubed/greased it up and replaced bushings a month ago.

Yep, they are all that is left in my shop that is dirty brass, I cleaned all of the rest.Dirty 9mm. There's a joke in there somewhere.
The federal sleeves are ridiculously large. I agree. I ran out of projectiles and I have about 1200 primed cases. I'm casting up some 125s. After I've powder coat them, I'm gonna catch up with you. I'm cooking the dope outside my trailer right now. Breaking bad in the Nevada desert, ha ha.Finished another 200 9mm's to go with the 300 I loaded yesterday. 115 gr Hornady HAP, 5.3 gr BE-86, yesterday's were loaded with Fiocchi Small Pistol primers, today got Federal 100. The Fiocchi's work well for batches of 300, being there are 150 per sleeve. The Federals come 100 per ridiculously large sleeve.
Wasn't that guy's name, Harold? I couldn't get past the second season. It got too brutal, ha ha."Breaking bad in the Nevada desert, ha ha."
2nd timer, how does that load of 8208 and the 210 partition shoot?Topped off some .338 Federal loads for my son's trip to Idaho.
Nosler 210 gr Partition, 43.3 gr IMR-8208XBR, Fed 210 in Federal 338 Federal cases
185 gr bonded soft points (most likely Federal Fusion over runs), 47.0 gr TAC, Fed 210 in PPU .308 brass necked up to .338.
He is going along for security while his friend hunts deer and elk with his 10 year old son. He might pick up a wolf tag along the way.
Still need to get going on my .270WSM ammo for my Idaho cow elk hunt at month end.
Cardioversion? So they jolt the heart into a normal rhythm? A solution for Afib?Did some cardio last week...

Today went out to check and see if I have enough 9mm powder on hand or if I need to place an order. Now mind you I only looked since I didn't want the shockingly handsome new me to cause any problems by touching anything...
Not to worry though, I loaded 2,300 9mm rounds before the procedure. So, I'm good for a while...
Yep, was in A-fib for 5 or 6 months with an irregular heartbeat. The docs finally scheduled the cardioversion procedure where they knock you out, stop your heartbeat and then use the electric paddles to shock you back into normal rhythm. Thankfully, it worked after one jolt and hopefully it will stay stabilized.Cardioversion? So they jolt the heart into a normal rhythm? A solution for Afib?
Glad to hear it worked, prayers for continued good health brother!Yep, was in A-fib for 5 or 6 months with an irregular heartbeat.

Can't say I was all that motivated to spend much range time the last couple of months. Just didn't have enough ummph. But after a week, I have already booked one pistol class and am working on another. So, I guess those 2,300 9mm rounds will need replacement soon
Welcome back, in more than one way! Dang brother, sounds like you went through the ringer, glad you're doing good and they caught hit in time. I have a friend who ignored similar symptoms for too long and a huge blood clot formed in his heart, it caused a massive stroke. Glad you were diagnosed before that!Yep, was in A-fib for 5 or 6 months with an irregular heartbeat.
