Skillz

Took a day to decompress and boy did I need it.  Since tomorrow is Tax Prep day.  Today I went to the Fin Feather & Fur and picked up some ammo to practice with this weekend.   Then I had an omelette at iHop for breakfast.  Now I am baking bread.  Made enough for 4 loaves last night and let it rise.  Now I am baking one.  Testing the refrigerator stability of the dough for 1 week by storing a loaf and have 2 in the freezer I will bake at 2 and 5 weeks to see how they taste.  Just my European Peasant loaf but I like it.

Also been studying for the Ham Technician exam.  There is one locally on the 21st of April and I want to be ready then.

Over my end of year vacation I picked up a Lee Loadmaster progressive press with the .38 Sp dies.  In addition I purchased case and primer pocket trimmers, a case tumbler, media, a scale, as well as 500 bullets, 1000 pistol primers and a bottle of Bullseye powder.  As far as I know that is everything I need.

So far I have run 20 cases through the machine and managed to get it adjusted so 14 are correct.  Had a few issues with seating depth at first and a couple times the primers didn’t feed.  Have to wait until the weekend to try pulling the trigger on these 14 good ones, so I am not going to make any more until I know these work.
