What did you do in the reloading room today?

[tazman]

I sized and lubed 150 452374 boolits with my Lyman 4500 and loaded 100 rounds of 9mm.

[Tripplebeards]

Sorted 10 lbs of lee 310's in one grain increments and PC'd them



I had fun with three 304gr

[sigep1764]

Used my new Lyman 280473 and recent Lee 277-135 to cast up a hundred of each. Trying to find a top punch for the Lyman, got an email out to Buckshot, but no response yet. They discontinued the top punch when they discontinued the mold. Id like to do some load development with Red Dot for the 473.

About to start priming that 1000 round batch of 223's that I have been prepping. I also plan to load them today or tonight.

Earlier this week I cast up some 124 grain 9mm. Last weekend I sorted, cleaned, and deprimed all of my 9mm and .223 brass. I have a three day weekend this week so I will be spending a lot of time in the garage casting, and loading ammo.
I also have around 700 9mm bullets that need pulled apart. I'm really not looking forward to that.

Walked in.....walked back out. No time for reloading right now. Grass growing too fast, weather good for honey-dos (durn it)

I puttered. Sorted 30-06 A.I. and 30/30 brass by headstamp, flared some 30/30 that's ready to load, and loaded up a few 30-06 A.I. with some 180 gr. GameKings. Going to the range tomorrow....

The barrel band/ hand guard retainer on my wife's Howa .30 Carbine Sporter needs help. It's plastic and the threads for the main screw are stripped. It's going to be a feat.....

I'm another that thought of JB Weld first off. It bonds well to all sorts of plastics, can take a tap to cut threads. JB Weld is a prime tool for fixing those black plastic ABS holding tanks on RV's and campers. Which reminds me of the thin glue that is black and made for the black plastic pipe. It hardens into plastic with good bond and is used to patch larger tank holes with plastic screen as a backer. This might also coat and bond to existing worn threads partly filling the hole and allow for running a tap through to cut new threads.

Loaded a batch of 400/350 N.E. Hope they chamber, using a different boolit and don't have the rifle to test chamber.

NOE 316-213-RN, Al's version of the 312299/314299, but with a larger diameter for the giant bore on my 91/30.
CWW + 1% Sn. These drop at .3165-.317.

Cast a full pot, then decided to run another. Ended up with 27 pounds of these, about 850-900 boolits. This should hold me into next year. I shoot about 100 per month, for practice and at the monthly Military Bolt-gun Match at the club.

This NOE mold is such a pleasure to use. It's a 5-cavity, and makes piles in a hurry. I just run at a leisurely pace, the mould stays at a good temp, and I'm not rushed.

Loaded up 80 45-70 with my cast Lee mold boolit of 405 gr or when I cast them 415. gr .range tommorow . have to do some casting as I'm out of boolits for 4570 now.

[wendyj]

Been lubing and sizing what I cast last week and today.

[am44mag]

Loaded these for the first time. Also the first time I've used Hornady Custom Grade Dies and I really like them.

Sweated!!!!
Reloading equipment is in the garage. Only 115 degrees in the garage today.
Didn't spend a lot of time there.

[Retumbo]

Loaded up a bunch of 25acp and the last of my PC 9mm. Maybe cast some more today if I can sneak away without the wife noticing. High of 71 today

Funny looking boolits.

I too have a couple of Hornady dies, sleeve in the seater die work great with jacket
bullets, did have a little problem with 311284 in 06. Nose was just a hair too fat, kept seating too deep. Switched to an RCBS seater and the problem went away.

Yeah, they have these new fangled things they're calling jackets. Think they're made of copper or something. I figure it's just a fad. At least the tip is still lead.

The sleeve worked perfectly for these. Those bullets were a TIGHT fit in those reformed cases, and they are just flat based with almost no chamfer to them. I had no problems seating them straight though.

Resized and cleaned the brass that I fired at the range yesterday.Then I loaded enough 30-06 A.I. loads to finish out the 50 round box. I don't know why, as I don't hunt anymore, just punch paper and long range steel.....
