Got home from work today and found a care package that has been a long time coming. First powder that I have been able to find in a LONG time...matter of fact, I was beginning to think that I was going to have to cut back on the shooting.

Yea my 4lbs. of 2400 showed up yesterday. I'm glad someone gave me a heads up on here. 2400 was the last powder I needed, now I'm set for a long time.

It's been so long since I've bought any new powder that the labels on your 1 lb. canisters all are new to me as well! - DixieBoy

I wanted some 8lb jugs, but there were none to be had. Maybe we will get past this ridiculous component crunch at some point.

Saturday will be a big day.... the Dillon 550B will be delivered and so will 4 lbs. of Unique.
Going to look at an ultra sonic cleaner later in the day.
Dug out an old RCBS single stage press a buddy gave me couple years ago,but without any of the dies.
I picked up a .45 Colt shell holder and machined up the other parts,to use it to de-prime the brass I have collected over 4 years. Gave me something to do while waiting for the 550 to get here.

It will be like Christmas around your house tomorrow.

Enjoy!

Not to burst your bubble, but the Dick's sporting around here don't carry reloading supplies. OK I did see some primers at ours, but that was it. Even the new Gander Mountain in town doesn't carry reloading supplies.

I've never ordered powder through the mail so I didn't know a signature would be needed. Luckily I had a good Fedex driver that gave me a call & was nice enough to goto the neighbors & get a signature.
