What did you do in the reloading room today?

[15meter]

Re-polished 150 pieces of 30-40 Krag brass after annealing. Waiting on a set of dies so I can load some to try out the new rifle. Should set up the pot to cast some 30 caliber boolits so I CAN load, but a nasty head cold is keeping me moving kind of slow today.

Some new 7.62X54R brass came in today. I ran it through the rifle to be sure it fit. I then ran it through the Lyman M die.
Now I just need to prime, charge and seat bullets.
Then I get to shoot.

Assembled the Lyman 450 Handle I made. One was workable one was not. BUT I know what I need to do!!

Setup my new Dillon XL750 and Dillon dies.

The first 50 plunk tested ready for test firing and chronograph.



I foresee an auto case feeder being a necessity soon. This press is smooth and fast, keeping it fed with cases and primers is going to be the bottle neck.

Pulled down some 348 Win I bought in an estate and forgot I had. Brand new W-W Cases!! Whoohoo!!

[Texas by God]

Finished drilling and routing a neat 80% lower for a varmint .223 AR15.

[drac0nic]

Threw some .45 auto together. Lee 200 LRNFs with 5gr IMR PB (the 4.4gr loads were stove piping) and a few more with 4.4gr old Nitro 100 (not NF.) The meetering on this seems a bit sketchy so I'm curious about how it does. Seems very much like a "dipper" powder to me. Big flakes and all that. I have about 1/4lb of it, so it shouldn't be too hard to burn up. Getting ready to need a run of .45 ACP boolits if I can get this thing to run right. I should probably throw down and make a few Bullseye or Blue Dot loads as well since that will probably be what I fall back to at some point; I should really be running the loose powders I have in the revolvers since I don't have to worry about cycling the gun.

[Tom W.]

Cast a few more boolits for my 9mm.

[Michael J. Spangler]

Made some of these little beauties

[drac0nic]

Got my Hornady parts and my first batch of stuff from Titan. Some breech lock stuff for the APP when it shows up, a set of 450 Bushy dies and a set of Auto Prime collets that I needed badly since you can pay $15 for a set or $3-4 each. Wish I'd have paid once for them. I ended up making 1 450BM dummy to test feeding with the 300gr HPs I have. They seem like they're going to be challenging to seat if I want to use the cannelure and maintain the same case volume as the 300gr Swifts that are significantly stubbier. This seems like it would feed better though.

ED:Yeah it feeds well extraction kind of sucks but I'm not seeing any thing on the bullet. I way over crimped (it looks like a roll crimp) so I need to tone that down and I think she'll run well.

[cwlongshot]

358 Winchester cast bullet dummies!

[jdfoxinc]

Sized 90 gr .356 till the master caster heated up. Cast 115 gr 9mm till.my back complained then sized some more 90 gr.

[rdwarrior]

Doing brass prep on 500+ 30 carbine brass for a rifle I just acquired.

[cwlongshot]

Installed a new and improved Lyman 550 toggel/handle assembly!

PERFECT NOW!!

Found 1000 JHP bullets I forgot I had. Loaded 1K 38 special with 5 gr of Accurate #2. I've had the bullets at least 10 years and the powder probably 15. Now the loaded ammo can disappear for 10 years.

It could disappear in one really fun day...

Haha. Have fun!!


Last night I finished sizing about 200 358 Win cases. Last 10 where nickle and Norma brand. Just for sentimental reasons. Both where fired multiple times. One Norma & three nickel split not big suprize really. But that was ONLY LOSSES!!

Cleaned all primer pockets. And cleared about 40 flash holes then primed those.

About 100 Fed cases about 60 LC cases and remainder are mostly PPU. Which usually I just toss. But they where nice cases and recently annealed. So 48 of those got re formed too. Ill keet them segregated.

Should have rigle next week.
