I traded two Dillon .357 cartridge boxes for 221 pieces of .45ACP brass that I haven't picked up yet. Does that count?

I sorted about 1500 mixed cases by caliber, deprimed 600 .44-40s by hand (thanks to the Harvey decapper and "The Wild Bunch" on DVD that wasn't all that bad), tumbled 750 .45Auto and 150 .38spl, but when I wanted to actually load a few rounds, I ran out of day. Hm...

Sorted 1,121 32 Auto cases across three headstamps. Going to load my TL314-75-RF bullet with a full case of Hodgdon's Clays which is the poorest choice of all the powders I have but hey, something has to burn it. 602 MagTech cases are to be prepped next.

As life always works it out, I'm 400 bullets short for the loading. Need to cast as well.

It does in my book because half the battle is just thinking about it the other half is doing. +guns

It all counts unless you refuse to think about it!

Yesterday when not occupied with other matters, sorted about 2500 to 3000 9mm Luger cases across four headstamps. Now will decap and send them to the washing machine and dryer! Already did my 32 Auto last weekend but will also knock out the 380 & 45 Auto sorting over this weekend. Will try to get a picture of my bench(es). It is crazy, will drive GasGuzzler out of his mind!
