Swaged cores in 150 .224 bullets. Point forming later today.
I lubed and sized about 200 .45-70 brass and then tumbled them in corn cob media to get rid of the lube. I'm going to work up a load with 3031 for the Acme Bullet Co. Hi-Tek coated 350 grain RNFP boolit. I'm going to see how lucky I can get trying to get one load that shoots well in a Browning 1885 high wall, a very nice example of a Remlin .45-70 guide gun with a scout scope on an XS rail, and a near mint 24" Winchester-Miroku 1886 I got last week. Both the 1885 and 1886 have Williams aperture sights. The round itself is pretty forgiving and I'm looking for a load in the 1,500 fps range. I'm not going after grizzly bears or mastodons, after all. I'll get the first batch loaded tomorrow using Hornady data for their 350 grain jacketed RN in a Marlin 1895 as a start point in the range of 47.0 grains. I hope to make the pilgrimage to the closest DNR range Sunday PM. GF
I loaded some 22-250s with Varget and some vintage Nosler solid base bthp, and some 7.65x53 Argentine with Norma 203b and 150gr Hornady sp. Ginex LR primers in both cases.
If Summer ends, I’ve got a lot of casting to do.

Today I rolled up a box of 380 Auto; 95 gr Lee as cast over 2.5 gr Promo. Servicios y Aventuras primers. Also sorted small primer 45 ACP from large primer, and decapped a coffee can full of 45's before dunking them in a citric acid bath.

Cleared junk off making ready for the Fall loading season, and got a new set of dies, 30 Super Carry, now to find some brass...
Loaded 20 .458 SOCOM to zero a new to me ar, got it zeroed in 3 shots, man does that thing kick.
32 gr. Of accurate 1680, 1345 fps. Now got a blue shoulder.

annealed 7.62x54r and what brass i could salvage from the 400 30-06 reloads that i purchased. the attrition rate was high on the 30-06 brass. of the 400 rounds I probably threw at least half in the scrap bucket due to split necks. most of the 30-06 brass was military brass from the 1950’s and 1960’s. most of the factory brass was ok. I’m going to use those 30-06 for cast loads for my 760. I have other brass for jacketed loads.
over the weekend i fiddled around and made up some cast rounds for my RAR .450 from a lee 452-255-rn mold

Over the last few days, loaded 400 223 Rem, 600 9mm, sized 200 223 Rem and 500 9mm, and burnt my wrist with lead from doing something very stupid.
Sized some 270 IHMSA brass for my rifle.

Up to 1000 9mm over the last week. Got more sized and deprimed today. Got about 400 more 223 cleaned, sized, and deburred. Have to chamfer and anneal the necks on saturday morning.
Loaded 100 of my 9mm 160gr FN/Titewad armadillo load. This has become my favorite suppressor load and is extremely accurate, quiet and soft shooting. Blows the dillos up as well.

From which I might conclude that you’re either:Originally Posted by Recycled bullet
1) a complete noob who hasn’t yet accumulated the typical bench top clutter most have, or
2) a grizzled veteran who finally has reached the hard stop of zero % clear bench space left anywhere (I’m almost there myself).
Switched the Lock-n-load over to 9mm, got about 400 loaded, goal is several thousand so I won't have to do it again for a while. This did require moving things around on the bench several times, found several items I had thought lost, and I'm sure lost some other items. Need to get some of the not reloading related stuff out of there so there is more room to stack important stuff
3) too much chaos. Ended up cleaning out half the basement. Feel much better now. Time to assemble some 38 special
Deprimed and annealed my 270 IHMSA brass. It shot great today.

What is your coal on your 9mm reloads?
