Ordered 500 62 grain .224 FMJ projectiles. 2 days later I forgot I ordered it and bid on 250 55 grain FMJ .224" Won the bid. Came home, now I have .224" a plenty.
The mind is the first thing to go!
Also thought I was out of small rifle primers. Found three boxes of 100 I stashed in the wrong place.

Small Memo Books are handy,all my buys and phone numbers addresses and what I bought from who goes in there along with cost for bullets,powder,brass.When payment was shipped and when recieved.The wife asked me what the book was for and I told her to leave the book alone it was my brains,56 and CRS is already setting in.But I have kept records for years anyway just to see how much prices have soared and who got the best deals.
It happens to all of us. I was loading some .44 mags last night. I had finished up with the 200 grain Noslers over 27.5 grains of H110 and was loading some 240 grain Hornady XTPs over 24 grains of the same powder. I was focused on how the slight difference in profile affects the COAL and was messing with the seater/crimp adjustments on the die. It wasn't until I got 10 of them loaded that I noticed I had the wrong box of XTPs and was loading 200 grainers. I switched and finished with the 240s.
At least I can see how a light load works with the 200 grain XTPs now. If I had gone the other way, I would have to pull them. I am not inclined to run loads that are almost 15% over the maximum through any gun of mine, although the Redhawk probably would have handled it.

I've tried that idea, but I keep losing the stupid things! Played too much rugby I guess...
