    Default Dang the luck


    I got a delivery of brass casings today. Let the decapping began.
    The bank sent me a fraud alert email. My paypal account was hacked for $509. Spent a good part of the day on the phone and online with the bank. New debit card will be here in 10 business days. Doctor bills, 410 shotgun and truck battery will have to wait.

    Do you reload 410? I think I have a bunch of wads maybe AA hulls too. I sold my loader a few years ago.

    I'm getting into it. Collecting brass casings that can be resized to 410. Others say there are 11 brass casings that can be used. 44spl/mag and 45 Colt for shorties. 410 brass and 444 Marlin will be easy since they are straight wall. 303 Britt and 9.3X74R will need a little fire forming to open the neck. 300 Win Mag will need 12 gauge copper wire soldered to the grove then flattened out, not getting into that. 30-40 Krag needs the head thinned from the case side, a small lath would be nice, might can do it on a drill press. No neck crimp on the casings will add extra life for reloads.
    I won't rule out loading plastic hulls. Don't really want to add another primer to my supplies. I have rifle/pistol presses. A Mec in 12 gauge. A 410 kit is $200 to add.
    I'll be using fiber wads and over cards. Will not rule out using factory plastic wads. Some people make theirs from milk jugs. Won't get into that.
    Collect what you have and shoot me a PM.

    Doctor visit yesterday at 10:30 on my head, tumor. All looks good, up to 130 lbs. Spent the rest of the day shopping with my oldest son. We hit 2 Ollies and 2 Farmer markets.

    It's more of an international market. Isles are set up for different countries. 3 or 4 isles will have some of the same products. Lots of fresh and frozen seafood. At the 2nd store a customer wanted fish. It was weighed then gutted and wrapped.

    We are planning on hitting the Farmers Markets more and growing less tomatoes this year. Too much to do now without chasing 30-40 tomato plants.

    I’ve turned our garden over to my wife. I’m concentrating on figs and fruit trees. Also, clearing land for them.
