Back in the fold

A couple of years ago, I got out of the reloading effort. I sold most of my reloading stuff to a friend who reloads. Anyway, this week I decided to get back into it with what I had left, namely 22 Hornet stuff and 7.9 J. Luckily, my friend had stored the dies and was able to come up with them. In my (formerly) reloading room, I had everything I think I need except a primer tool. Bullets, which are VERY hard to find, I bought a few years ago (.318).

Line Aid, for resizing, I had. It's the best lube I've ever used. So I need to shake off the lead in my ass and load some more ammo. I've got a bit already loaded so I'm not loading for hunting, just loading to create something.

Nice! I’ve used Hornady Unique lube/imperial wax for years. I bought my first tub and thought “man it’s a small tub” three weeks later I bought another. The second tub is brand new 10 years later!🤣

You know it's good for water proofing your boots also? :lol:

What I like about wax is it isn't greasy. You can clean it off with a cloth. It's (I think) lanolin.

You shoot a hornet.....yeah you better reload.

I know how much you love the cartridge.
Last range trip my son and I went through a bunch it was just fun on steel.
