Deprimed some 32 acp and some 7.62x39, all S&B.

Folks, anyone with experience assembling a parts kit into a bare Lone Wolf TWF1 frame? Their customer service chat is closed until Monday, and I ran into a glitch I haven't seen addressed in the various YT instructional videos. Basically, there's a block of plastic in way of the trigger...

Pulled* 160+ lbs of brass from under the reloading bench, and took* it to recycling. Cleared out pretty much everything commercial that wasn't once-fired by me. Also kept most of the LC-xx brass in 5.56. *With my lifting restrictions, this required a local young man with a strong back for...

(snip) Congratulations!

Last two guns are a KSG410 and a Vz61 rebuild via Samopal-USA

Purchased a Savior brand soft gun case for my new KSG410. In the gunroom I opened the shipping boxes for disposal and found this printed on the inside. Nice touch, people. (E2A: purchased from Midway, corrected typo)

This vendor on Etsy made a primer catcher that works very well on my RCBS Jr. He also has a design for a Rock Chucker and RC II. And many other brands and models: 80 total. https://www.etsy.com/listing/690651735/rcbs-reloading-press-rc-primer-cather

First range day in 9 months, and just finished sorting out the 7.65 Browning/32ACP and 410 hulls in the reloading room. Stayed within Dr's directive regarding recoil, only shot a Beretta Tomcat 3032 and a Kel-tec 410 shotgun. I will say that the KSG410 WILL NOT accept Hornady factory duplex...

Can't help but think of the great food stops along the way.

"So, Mr Impaler; may I call you Vlad?"

AAC is Palmetto State Armory's new ammo line. Doesn't seem to be much about it online; some say it could be more accurate, others are having failure to eject with the 77gr projos. No recalls mentioned that I could find.

My recent Etsy primer trap works well when depriming. A used CPAC hose fits up nicely to the provided nipple, and a few nuts taped for weight to the end of the hose keeps it in the capture bucket. FAR less mess.

Receiver arrived today. I was bit surprised to see this is not a pristine new item; it has mounting marks from the trigger guard, drag marks from the safety, and a few small dings from metal-on-metal contact at the rear from an upper housing slamming shut. Still, I re-read the original GunBroker...

A while back, an acquaintance had an older custom bolt gun in 260 from his grandfather. Scary gun; pull the trigger and the gun would take 5-8 seconds for the sear to drop, or it might take another 8-10 seconds. Scary. Turns out Granddad regularly sprayed the trigger (Sako) assembly with...

And a strong magnet for the pins
