Sitting on Lemmy waiting for some 338LM brass to dry in the oven then I’m back to the press to fill and seat everything. Have been putting off loading for my precision rig but recent events have introduced some new urgency to that task.
I hadn’t been loading much of anything since the price of powder and primers went up 2-3x. But, understand that sense of urgency. Got my order of heavy-weight pills recently, so going to dust off my press and spend some time on it this weekend.
This is part of why I like buy once cry once, and extend that logic it to fully setting up each platform with whichever accessories I think it needs to be complete. Doesn’t eliminate all projects or anything but it’s a habit I wanted to build.
In my case I meant more like finally buying the supplies I need to finish my trauma bag, get off my ass and finish the mesh repeaters I’ve been building, get a better plate for my carrier, make a set comms plan with family, that sort of thing.
You know, all the mundane, “not as fun as my guns” stuff thats still just as important.
Also… consider the go-bag and updating those passports if they have expired and GTFO… or, conversely, go analog and to the mountains. Never considered that Go Wolverines might be up against the US Gestopo vs the “Soviets.”

Didn’t consider we should have resumed our reloading operation a year ago.
I hear ya. All of a sudden projects that have been “some day” turned into “right the hell now”.

Ahh gotcha. Ever done one of those stop the bleed classes? The instructor there helped me with kit essentials and the hands on stuff is nice.
Yeah, it was great. I did one about 5 years ago when I thought my first aid from the Navy was getting rusty.
