I have no regrets about getting mine.
I resemble this remark!My wife cleaned it up two days ago.
Now I can see the floor... it needed vacuuming
I write on the front of the box with coloured paint pen. In the 100 round MTM holders. 308, 223, 9mm, 38 super, etc.. when I open my ammo locker, I don't have to open anything and I see it on the front of the box when they are stacked up. On the box, I have the MTM sticker with relevant load data. That way I know what I'm shooting, and also know the recipe when I reload them.I resemble this remark!
Loaded 600 rds of 45. Realized I am too old to remember what is in each of my ammo boxes, so I labelled everything rather than bothering to try. Set up to finally load 9x23 Win on my 550.
I think i'm set now, but thank you. I have long kept my loads on my computer, my notes in a book, but then just "knew" which were which in the boxes, even if I shot the same round from two rifles. I'd have one, say, with Norma brass and the other with Lapua. Just figure I am getting too old now, so I filled out those stickers and put them on everything. Of course, getting old meant getting my reading glasses on to do it.I write on the front of the box with coloured paint pen.

I have a seperate log book with all data (round counts, brass firings in some cases, etc).
I can take a photo to show you if you want.
Weight sorted 400 Match Burners. They were the only 140 grain 6.5's I could find.
Mine is old enough to have had their lifetime warranty (they eventually went to 1 year on electrics/electronics). I doubt the new ones will last as long but shall see how it goes.Intrested to see what you replace it with.
Volumetric powder measures can get you by. Print out this table and you'll do well enough for TEOTWAWKI, assuming you're not like the poor sods who haven't any primers.If you don’t already have a balance beam scale you should consider having one.
In the event of an <event>, we could find ourselves without electricity. Hand loading may be an important part of survival......consequently, a balance beam scale would be invaluable.

First full reloaded metallic and first powder charge ladder.
I’m very happy and look forward to getting out and chrono this stuff next week.
6.5 CM, Hndy brass, H4350, CCI BR-2, Berger 140 hybrids
Haha....hate when that happens! LOLNot sure if you did already, but if not, I highly recommend marking your cases with a sharpie for identifying charges. I had a bunch lined up in a box with tape labels on lid, knocked it over at the range right before firing them......
From then on I started marking cases.
I recommend not knocking everything over.
I feel like when this load is birthed the entirety of Sniper's Hide will need to run out to get a cigar.View attachment 7640558

Ran a couple of desiccant cans in the oven, a truly thrilling afternoon.
Calm down there, Boss!Ran a couple of desiccant cans in the oven, a truly thrilling afternoon.
I did that enough times to make me put a big note on the hopper reminding me to close the cleanout!Poured powder into my chargemaster with the drain open.
Awesome, what are they? Look like the 10mm I use. I'd love to learn to cast bullets, but we have a fantastic small volume commercial caster near us, which makes me a bit lazy in doing it.View attachment 7642869
Done for the day.
Nice. What weight? I've found that for anything resembling a full power load, Accurate #9 is really tough to beat.You guessed right, There are 10mm.
I am just getting into the 10mm realm so i need a few
Makes sense why the look the same. I shoot 200 grain Noe hi tek coated.I use NOE 180 and 200 for 10mm. With the pins you can vary the weights.
I think I need to go to lunch also....Didn't touch the reloading room, but had lunch at a friend's house and he handed me a box of 5000 SRP on my way out, so that was good.
I "HATE" it when that happens !!!Poured powder into my chargemaster with the drain open.
