Sat and stared at over 2k of.223 brass that needs chamferred and pockets swaged. Decided to save them for a different rainy day.
Messed around with my Christmas toy from the wife the other day... The Labradar Chrono. I wish this rain would stop so I can take it to the land and really give it a good test. But for now it back yard shooting with the .25 Vulcan Bullpup PCP Airgun.
This thing is pretty neat as it can tell you the speed of the bullet out to 100 yards away and after you enter the bullet weight it will also give you the Power Factor and Kinetic Energy of the projectile.

Cleaned off the top of my loading bench and my safe.
Had to clear some room to start reloading seriously again, mostly int .45 Colt. Some .45ACP, and down the road once I retire many, many more calibers!
Cap the Jack!, those Angel's take more then their fair share! Lol
I was actually able to get a lot done in my gun room on Sunday. My bench and closet still need some work, but progress is progress. I decided I'm going to put up slatwall panels one one wall and get rid of my particle board bookshelf, but that's a project for a later date.
Picked up a Sig P320 RX yesterday, the one that comes with a Red Dot! Might shoot it in USPSA but the plan is to replace my CZ75B as a EDC gun. It's basically the same size just much lighter.
Also shot some USPSA classifier stages at a live fire practice, coming in B class. Super happy about that!

Primed 100 rounds of new brass for the 45 Colt, and discovered my Unique powder (pretty common in 45 Colt load recipes) was almost out. Remembered seeing an local ad for 1 lb cans of Unique, and scored a fresh pound on the way home. Ready to roll some 45 Colt loads!

Received my new 10.5" 300blk barrel and stripped upper receiver today. Will be utilized as a suppressor host. Gonna include items made for the specific purposes of making shooting suppressed more enjoyable including a ported forward assist, drilled charging handle, etc. Been a while since I built anything AR for myself and I'm enjoying it.

I finally heard back on Tuesday from the manufacturer of the gun that cracked, so I packed the gun up last night and printed out the shipping label just now. It's going to cost me about $100 to ship it back to him for repair. Ugh.
I'm looking to possibly pick up another open gun since I don't know how long it will take for this one to get back to me. I've already had someone offer me a Limcat that's awfully tempting, I just don't know if I want to spend that much at the moment.

Are you stuck with one of the Sig dots on it, or can you swap to a different kind?
See if you can use "Ship My Gun" it's part of Bud's and pretty cheap. I shipped a few guns w/ ~ $800 insurance overnight for $50.
It's the Romeo 1 dot only right now. But it would be pretty easy to have a machine shop open the slot for other dots. I'm impressed with the gun & dot in dry fire, hoping to get on the range this week. Got a normal match on the 14th and a classifier match on the 29th!
The insurance hurts the cost a lot for me, since I'm insuring the gun for $3500. The insurance and the extra $6 to get it by there by noon tomorrow account for almost half of the $98 total cost.
There is a classifier match down here on the 22nd, but that's my wife's birthday weekend. It never works out for me to shoot a classifier match.
This morning I'm debating about whether or not to shoot the MPSA match tomorrow. I don't really enjoy shooting when it's colder than 40 degrees, and it's supposed to be 27-35 during the time we'll be shooting, after raining all day today. Sleeping in in a warm bed sounds a whole lot better than being cold and wet for several hours.
And the wind is going to 15+ till noon. If I wasn't working I'd be inside...

I didn't realize that.
Even my dogs don't want to go out this morning.
