Good luck finding anything for reloading at the present time, unless you want to pay the rip-off prices on gunbroker, and ebay.
Even Amazon has sky high prices on rloading equiptment.

Powder Burn, do a search for the .243 brass you can probably find some, even range brass. Now if you nedd primers, and powder, I can't give you any ideas.

Lol, no problems on primers. I found some the other day at an LGS for $125 per thousand. lol There are reports some guys are charging $300 and $400 for 1000. Glad I don't need any right now. I liked it better when I bought mine for $29 per 1000.
These are crazy times,for sure.

I was in the basement today, going through brass that I won't need anymore. I have a guy on CastBoolits that wants some 300 Savage brass and I don't have my Savage 99 anymore. Seems like most everything is on back order or priced obscenely high.

I finally got the broken stock back together on the old Winchester SXS. May be able to post a photo or 2 soon of the repair, and on-going restoration.

PowderBurn, I looked to see if I might have some 243 brass, but so far no luck. I did find 11 pieces of 270 brass you can have if you want to try to run them through your 243 sizing die. PM me and we can talk more.

Two weeks curing, six hours cold smoke, one more week vacuum-packed. Today was time to slice it.




Pork belly can be a crapshoot when it comes to fat/lean ratio. This one was one of the leanest pork bellies I've cured.




Now to vacuum-pack it in 1-lb packages.

I'm with Jim. You always tease us with pictures of home smoked bacon. I would love to sample the goods!

Bacon is NOT on my list of heart-healthy foods, but I manage to get a few meals a year. BLTs and bacon and eggs on special days.

I suppose I could send a few slices out in an envelope. The thing would get a little greasy...

Hey, if someone is going to  be in central Arizona, give me a yell. I'm sure that samples can be arranged.

I hit the Donate button and sent a couple of bucks (not much but still something) for the upkeep of the Forum. After all, it's our open window for some fresh air in these troubled times. Don't forget, small amounts multiply!
Work wise I spent some hours cutting fire wood (got a couple of truck loads from the farmer, he delivers in 9 feet logs). Free gym.
