  stuffed peppers
Posted by: tommag - 11-27-2024, 06:05 AM - Forum: Food and Beverage - No Replies

I made stuffed bell peppers last night. The usual burger and rice but just because I had them in the fridge I chopped some mushrooms and added those. The only cheese I had in the fridge was romano so I grated that for a topping (not the best choice).
Seven hours later and I'm still not hungry, boy was that filling ! I've 3 more in the fridge so that'll be dinner for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

  Why I Love Reloading
Posted by: The Shooters Apprentice - 11-26-2024, 06:58 PM - Forum: Reloading - Replies (6)

I finally set back up my Hornady progressive press. It’s cold up here and work has been slow, so I’ve been working away at the piles of empty brass I’ve collected turning them into loaded ammo. Today I was working on loading some 38 special. I’ve loaded about 600 rounds of 38 special with a mix of light full wad cutter loads and some hotter 110gn JHP loads. 
The bullets are bullets I got from an estate sale and were practically free since I placed my bid based on other things in the lot. 
The primers are old white carton CCI the local gun shop gave me because he didn’t want to sell primers that old. 
The powder is Winchester 500HS, some of which I got for free, and some of what I bought very very cheap. 
Brass is range brass which I’m into for just my time to pick it up and sort it, and some that came from my own shooting. 
To buy the same amount of ammo in new ammo would have cost me about $350. I’m probably into this 600 rounds for under 10 bucks total. Should keep my combat masterpiece fed for quite some time. 
I’m noticing a trend where reloading components are not only becoming available again, the prices are coming down, and the hoarders are selling off parts of their stash. I haven’t done much reloading the last 3 years and have been buying factory as needed to feed my guns. It’s been a good few days cranking out 45acp, 10mm, 44 mag, 38 special and 357 ammo. I’ve loaded about 5000 rounds total in the last week or two. Next up is some 45 Colt with some old Speer 200gn Magnum JHP, or flying ash trays like they used to be called.
