New batch of reloads just in time for a long range match this weekend #reloading #firearms #shootingsports #skytte

Welp, guess I'm sticking with IMR White Hots. I was looking to switch to Blackhorn 209 for my inline muzzleloader, but at $84US for an 8oz can, which I can expect to get 45 or so shots, compared to the Whitehots at $35 for 72 pellets, which I'll get 36 shots (2 pellets/shot).

That's a price of $2/shot vs. $1/shot. Sheesh!

In a culture of widespread enshittification it's important to notice when things are done well. I made a CS ticket about product compatibility. The rep answered the next morning with correct/useful/respectful information and off-handedly tagged this at the end:

> I just tried it on a [reloading] press in the lobby.

The rep knows it's a good solution because *they just tested it themselves*. This empowers the rep and inspires customer confidence. The customer can tell when you are turning the item over in your hands, looking at it, thinking about your question & solutions .

Enby reloads reality: the horror!

Marcel Smith did not realize what would happen when they called upon their home automation device. They explain, “I jokingly went ‘Hello home! Reload reality.’ I thought it would reply that it did not understand what I was asking. I was mighty surprised when it replied, ‘Are you sure?’ I answered affirmatively. It replied, ‘Alright. Your funeral.’ That’s when I should have known things were about to go bad.”

The home automation software in Smith’s apartment, Home Assistant, obligingly reloaded reality. Smith told us, “Everything went blank for a second, and then I saw a bunch of wires. My cat looked like it had been skinned. I looked down at myself, and I could see my organs. I screamed my ass off.”

We reached out to Anna Milton, a realtor (a specialist about reality), for comments. When we explained what had happened to Smith, she laughed and replied, “Yeah, what Smith was experiencing is slow texture loading. The wireframe structuring reality came up first, but the texture of the walls, the carpet, and even his skin took a while to load. This is easily fixable by upgrading Smith’s brain.”

We reported Milton’s comments to Smith. They commented, “Yeah, well, I did not know it would work. Lessons learned.” We noticed some fins coming out of their head. We asked what they were and they replied, “Oh! These? I can’t upgrade my brain, so I’m overclocking it. These are part of the heatsink installed to dissipate the extra heat.”

@fasterandworse you forgot the "unloading hammer" (which is used to disassemble small arms ammunition by using kinetic energy)...

Well, Twitter is becoming increasingly uninhabitable. So, here I am, starting a new parallel life on Mastodon. Don't know how this will go. Am I just trading one toxic echo chamber for another?

Anyway, here's what I've been up to lately: an automatic case feeder, to make my Hornady Lock'n'Load reloading press more automatic.

Please excuse the messy bench. A messy desk is a sign of a creative mind, right?

Now look below.

All the #calibers I use have gone back down to quasi reasonable prices except for .308 which is still stupid. Thankfully I have plenty of #reloading supplies but what a buy-in for a range day these days...

Make it rain!
Cast my first batch of pellets for my air rifle. Primers and powder are sold out everywhere and overpriced where it isn't. Lead is still pretty easy to find.

#Brownells Family Member@reloading_allday built up this sweet #boltaction recently and picked up his #reloading gear from us too! When the #ammo is sold out the next step is to load your own right?!?!

#Brownells Steve O has got some freshly cast hollow points for his #1911! With components a little more rare temporarily it seems that casting & reloading may be the best bet and we still got lead!
