What did you do in the reloading room today?

Might think about a couple o' walls next...

It was too dang hot in the barn, so I rolled it out to work on it.

This box of ammo took me back to my childhood. My Dad had a lifetime license, but as a kid, we always went to Zaloudek’s in Enid to buy my license and ammo if needed. I’m not sure exactly how old this box is, but I’d guess early 80’s vintage.
12 ga 3 1/4, 1 1/8 oz #8

WOW! Zaloudek's! Hadn't thought about them in a long time! I absolutely loved going in there!

I may be remembering wrong, but didn’t Evans downtown used to have ammo and hunting stuff?

I don't recall that the one downtown did, but the one on Willow used to have a pretty decent gun/ammo/hunting department. I bought at least one rifle there years ago. Now, it's a joke.

I’ve mentioned before that I buy “lots” of reloading supplies at estate sales, and I tested some powder and primers yesterday from one of my finds.
The Win 209 primers originally cost $2.59, the 4# of Green Dot cost $45.97, and the pound of Win Super Lite cost $12.37.
Buying this stuff from random people and not knowing how it’s been stored is a gamble, but I’ve been lucky to never have gotten a bad batch…so far.
