Looking/searching for a 410 shotgun in the Memphis area, cheap. Seems they can't get this one in stock. Charles Daly 101 410 Gauge 3in Black Single Shot Shotgun - 26in | Sportsman's Warehouse

Got 400 303 Britt brass loaded with grits for resizing. 10 of each 303/410 shells loaded with 3,8, 4.0, 4.2, 4.4 gr HP-38 and 3/8 oz #8.5 shot for ladder test. All loaded from the comfort of my bed.

Round 3 finished with the chemo pills, see what July 29th visit shows on CT. Got ATT fiber installed yesterday, Package deal, new 2 phones, service for a 3rd one, internet on 7 units all for $155 per month,

Too hot to be out there very late in the morning.

Decapped and tumbled?

Don't know what I'd do with a dummy.

Son is out of town on their last vacation before school starts. Hotter days starting Monday, try to get to his house before and finish shooting by noon. See what tent or cabin weekends we can plan in the fall.

Star Buck's wood stir sticks make great glue applicators for over cards. Got 10 loaded for ladder test

The dip at Harbor Freight is in a spray can. I could see that it would be thinner and a mess where I sprayed. Stop at Home Depot, got the dip in Yellow. Work slow down, carried my wife to ER for UTI and dizziness. They found low blood pressure and low red blood count. She got a transfusion and drugs. Seems to be doing better daily. I got to sleep all night for a change. Red, thank you for posting photo.

Too far for me.

Good deal, best I could do is take all the 2 3/4" shells.

I use RemOil on my reels, half a drop is good on the pawl for a few days. Never noticed it getting gummy or a graphite film.

I found free bamboo in Oxford, MS on marketplace. Cut it when it's cooler. Need a few workers, trucks, trailers, chain saws, copper and or aluminum wire for bundling. Use the bamboo for lake habitat. Grenada lake has theirs in December. Enid has theirs the first Saturday of February. No word about Sardis, Butla is out as far as I know. Marketplace - Bamboo | Facebook

Remoil, SAE10W motor oil, 3M machine oil, all about the same to me.

West clinic visit went well, doctor liked results of blood test. Round 3 of chemo pills starts again for 2 weeks. CT with visit on 7/29.

I checked, the copper straps at Lowe's are copper clad for a few pennies less than copper at Home Depot. In the past I've done good soldering with an iron but not a torch with copper clad. I used the copper ones from Home Depot. Used a 1/2" wood dowel to spare the strap, then a 7/16" dowel for a tighter fit. Bent the 2 mounting tabs together. The oxygen regulator on my tanks is leaking, couldn't find my propane torch. Use a butane jet lighter instead. It's lower heat but did a pretty good job of soldering copper to brass. I stuck the 6 gauge wire through the mounting holes, folded and pressed them together. Soldered it to the strap so it doesn't swing. I've got to go to SuperLo today, stop at Harbor Freight for a can of rubber dip for handles. Got a few tools that need new dipped handles. Photos?? Send me you cell phone number and I'll send them to you. You can post if you like. I'm to old to learn how to post photos.

I shot a friend's 85 once and liked it. The 605 was $20 cheaper so I got it. It gets 38s reloads at the range and loaded with 357s at home and carry.

I got a piece of 6 gauge wire. Plan to flatten 2" of the center, wrap the flat around a case and solder. 4 inches on each end will go into a wood broom handle. At Home Depot yesterday I almost bought these. May return today after chemo for them. Everbilt 1/2 in. Copper Tube Strap (5-Pack) C624HD12 - The Home Depot

Second round of chemo pills ended Thursday night. My fingers are still numb but not as bad as while taking the pills. First doctor visit after the congestive heart failure my heart was at 22%, below borderline for a pacemaker. I didn't want it and worked hard for 6 months getting it up to 48%. Lots of work and after 1 year it was up to 55%. The acid reflex as doctors called it, tumor, esophagus cancer, chemo infusions and having to care for my wife more this last visit showed my heart at 22% again. So the walking has started again. Since it's hot outdoors I walk stores pushing a shopping cart for an hour or more, may walk 2, sometimes 3 stores in a day. Someone said, get a treadmill, save going to stores. They don't last very long outdoors, even under a carport. I've had 3 free ones in the past 7 years.

Digital scales going super low are costly. I used the Lee scale measuring 72.91 grain 3 times, close enough. Poured them in an empty 410 shell, seated a 7/16" rod and marked it. poured shot into an empty drug bottle so storage. Wrapped tape on shell and marked it. Cut the shell on my new mini chop saw. Poured shot back into shell, level fill. I'm ready to start loading. But it needs a handle. Thinking of ways to make one.

Haven't located my digital scale yet. Went searching for a new one most have a reading of 00.0 pounds. walmart has them for $13 to $47. Sportsman's Warehouse has Hornaday with 00.00 lbs for $200. I need one lower, like 00.00000 or better. 3/8= 0.0234375, 7/16 oz= 0.02734375, 1/2 oz= 0.03125

Been a while since I've been to Reloaders Bench. Dad bought a 22 lb keg of HP-38 for $10 about 2006, I'm still loading with it. I got a Lee Auto Prime for $14 in 2009. Last stop in 2013 with a friend. Can't remember what she bought.

Got a heart doctor visit today. Need new parts for wife's oxygen machine. See if I can pick them up since I'll be close to the hospital. Need new cabin air filter for the car, may stop at walmart for one. Wish the one in the truck as easy to change, it's 12 years old, needs changing. After changing the heater core and filter I saw a video of how to cut a slot in the cabinet, wish I had seen it beforehand.

At Buck's I got a 48"X 3/8" dowel for $1.29, a 48"X 7/16" dowel for $1.79, minus 70% off. I have lots of 3" X 3/8" extensions a few longer too. I had 6- 8 and 10" extensions linked together to reach a bolt on the wife car 2 weeks ago. Don't want to damage them. Checked Lee dippers for a 7/16 and 1/2 oz shot load. No combinations will work. Guess I'll make a dipper from a spent casing, solder copper tubing to it for a handle. I've got 12 303/410 casings that would need trimmed short. Might have more after the next fire forming. 1/2 oz equals 218.75 grain. Limited to 110 grain on the Lee scale. 1/5th of 1/2 oz is 43.25 grain, 1/4th is 54.6875, 1/3rd is 72.9167. Hate to be measuring it out like that. Need to be searching for my electric scale, if wife would leave me alone long enough.
