    Thanks JW, I don't know about "venture." lol! it's just for fun at this point. Since I'm switching competition and carry guns every other week, I figured "why not?" Especially considering how picky I am about stuff. Haha!

    Found a Amazon deal on some roll punches. $5 seemed like good, they feel pretty solid.

    Looking in the workshop for a gambrel for a friend to use and decided to do some cleaning up of the place. Installed 2 shelves for better storage. Found about 600 pieces of brass I'd forgotten about that I can use. Found a few thousand bullets I'd forgotten about (the workshop was a real mess with old boxes piled up). Found my "missing" bulk bags of tumbling media. Retrieved a can of Greek 30-06 that went to ksenter to help him with his new M1 rifle. Threw out many old cardboard boxes (I'm a packrat). And finally, I did find that gambrel.

    Loaded up 50 rounds of 357 mag still using the single stage press and powder measure I bought from Maxfold 2 years ago.
    I need to get phone lines rerouted so I can move the computers and desk's out of the spare room so I can turn it into my reloading room, but with all the Gray Widows here it's got to get colder before I send someone under the trailer. I'm still using an old portable TV stand with a 2"x6"x4' clamped to it for all my reloading. Looking forward to being able to set up the turret press and 2 single stage press's with room for scales, powder measures, case trimmer and everything else without having to clear a spot.

    Met with JJ today and he fixed the light primer strike problem I had on the new to me model 10 S&W.

    Also became a part owner of a JIG. I think Joel got the 40 acres and the mule. LOL.

    Installed a QC sling swivel in the aluminum free float tube for an AR. Ordered a mill dot scope and rings with a woven sling for that AR.

    Today, I made a Pmag pouch. Of course, it only took about 4 hours! Lol

    I'll start my own thread tomorrow, but here is the evening's fruit (don't mind the shadow at the bottom, I promise it's flat. Lol):

    I need to order the proper clips, but other than that, I am very proud of this one.

    How do we know our jig will be taken care of properly, and won't go missing?

    curious...what did he do to help with the light primer strikes? I have had issues with my XD and Shield (striker fire) on my handloads using CCI primers. It might be that I am not seating them enough...might not be

    I can tell you from experience that if a primer is not bottomed out it likely will not fire.

    I cleaned my sidearm and put my duty rig on today. I did plenty of quick draw and pistol twirling practice.

    I shot about 1400 rounds of 38SC since Friday afternoon, then I cleaned the gun tonight. I'll take some pictures and post it for sale in the next few days.
