    I'm sorry, I've never seen this before. What's with the blue?

    Polymer coated bullets. Save $ and still keep the accuracy. Plus they load like lead so I am saving .6 grains of powder per round.

    processed some brass for a buddy. I then showed him the Lee Classic Loader. That, mixed with a good little hammer, can get him started for not a lot of money. Plus, he only loads 10-20 rounds at a time. He'll be fine.
    Just doing what I can to stay on this side of the dirt.

    Any difference between these and the green ones from Bayou Bullets?

    The small reloading factory I work at nearly stopped production completely because the owner could not get powder.

    He was contacted about a Spanish powder he had never heard of ( he has been reloading for 30 years and does custom reloads also ) and at first only had the data for 9 mm.
    He eventually got hold of data for the other calibers, tried and tested them and was satisfied enough to put his name on the line with it.

    Now we are able to load .380, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45, 38 Special and .357 all with the same powder.

    He nearly went out of business if this had not shown up.

    Yes! Titegroup was his prefered powder and what he used to get and couldn't anymore.

    The competition shooters he loads for in Orlando are reporting this powder is a little more "hot" than what they used before.

    This was an emergency buy. I think we have a 6 month supply now.
    We are now looking out for and waiting on .223 powder.
    I sorted 6 buckets of brass with him yesterday.
    Lots of .223 brass. No substitute for that powder from a new source.

    We are waiting on the delivery of an industrial machine that will process 2000 rounds an hour.
    He says a trained monkey can operate it.
    It only does 9mm, though.

    I will see if I am allowed to take a picture. Imagine witnessing thousands of bullets being produced at a high rate..

    Myself,
    I got the brass for my .32 French Long and need to decide on which bullet to use.
    Also waiting on Unique or Bullseye powder.

    In preparation for shooting my French 1935 A.

    It wasn't my reloading setup, but I saw some Dillon eqp. at work today. I learned that the Dillon hype, while admittedly some good stuff, is a lot like Glock Perfection. It's a matter of degree. Now, mind you, if I was starting over, knowing what I know now, I'd go Big Blue. But, alas, it's too late for that, considering how much reloading I do that isn't shotshell.
