Got nine boxes of 20ga Remington Premier Hulls loaded
good God!!!
That's a lot to take in on a Sunday morning!!
BUT...true enough.....
most of my reloading stuff is 20+ years old....except the new T7 press I got a few years back, and the occasional die set....
AND....how about the knowledge to actually do the reloading....

In the midst of all this craziness I bought a pair of .44 Magnum Ruger Vaquero’s (older style).
I didn’t have a single round to feed either of them, so I started reloading another caliber.
I’d forgotten how much fun it is to load something new!
Made these 2 loads for a test.
Those 1,400fps with H110 are the fastest handgun round I’ve ever made.
I don’t think they’ll be much fun to shoot, but I’m certain they’ll make good self defense rounds. (Not that I bought these guns for self defense. It just seems to me you should have some SD ammo for every gun....)

my favorite is 9 grains of unique with 240 gran lead bullet.....sweet happiness!!
