What did you do in the reloading room today?

[lightman]

A friend dropped off a 20mm ammo can of brass and a few boxes that probably equals another 20mm ammo can for me to sort. So I have been working my way through that stuff. I've slowly been separating it by caliber and depriming it. Our deal was that I could have what I want of it for the labor of sorting it and helping him sell it.

Yesterday wasn't going well so I stopped doing what wasn't working and fired up the pot. I cast 300 432640s with the MP 4 cavity brass mold. It's nicely broken in and after the first 3 casts it was perfect all the way through the pot. 700 degrees, 95.5/3.5/1 Alloy, Air Cooled. It went so well I filled the pot and did it again.

I waited for sunset and a chilly 95 degree evening to load some experimental 38-55 PC round ball cartridges. If they shoot well enough the 94 is going squirrel or bullfrog hunting.

Loaded 600 25-20, 425 32-20., 375 218 Bee because the kids and wife want to start shooting their fall turkey guns.

p.s. COMPLETED today

Seems like I have a Devastator surplus so after sizing I loaded a few with 20g of 2400, Fed 150 and Starline Brass.

I was just looking at that mold today for my 44 mag on its way to my FFL. The pictures have convinced me that’s the mold I want.

I have that mold. It's cool. Only problem is that it is a single cavity so making a pile takes some time...

[44Blam]

I cast some 40s and also 40 Slugs...

Slug and 40


Slugs and 40s...

Finished up my annual smelting of range scrap. Didn't weigh it this time. I'm guessing 400+ lbs. Maybe 500. Waiting on a ebay mold to get here.

Actually this was the MP clone which is 4 cavity and they cast as fast as solids. https://www.mp-molds.com/product/432...ain-base-mold/ 13 In Stock right now! LOL

What are the slugs?

[cwlongshot]

Cleaned and oiled some cast bullet molds.

I've mostly been piddling lately. I sorted the equivalent of 2 20mm ammo cans of brass for a friend. He let me have what I wanted and I sold the rest of it for him. I've also been pulling bullets and making dummy rounds for a guy on another forum thats helping his kid make a cartridge display.

The slugs are the Lyman 12ga Sabot Slug 525 grain mold. It's a steel single cavity mold like my devastator... I sent a pic to my buddy and he said I should see if I can do make them like the Aguila Minis... 1.75"... Then I'd be able to get 13 of 'em in my shotgun. I'll make a dummy one and see if it loads and cycles and if it does - I'll make a video.

Ive been thinking of getting into shotshell loading. Id like to see that video!

Hey - I just started because the shelves are empty of shotgun ammo... And I was able to find primed hulls and primers - they seem pretty plentiful. I also got an 00 buckshot mold and a slug mold. So, I'll have shotgun ammo even when you cannot buy it.

EDIT:
My first shot shell was uuuuugggglllllyyy... I ended up cutting the crimp off and reclaiming the shot and powder. It took a little thought to get at least birdshot shells right... I don't know much but now I know at least kind of how to make a nice looking shell.

Well... Now I have a new mold... But the 2 cavity GC one.
