What did you do in the reloading room today?

[cwlongshot]

I mounted a CROSS BOW SCOPE!

[thraxx]

I did "break-in" runs of several new molds that were sitting around because of the cold.

MP-359-115 RN, NOE 454-155 (thumbtack), MP-454-640 (devistator), MP-432 "hammer", MP-311-180-SIL

My .309 sizing die came in. I was trying to get it set up and realized my flat top punch didn't want to work with my rn cast Lee boolits. I've always used my Lee push throughprior to this, but wanted to try something different. I have a few top punches that are for .44 and .45 cal SWC soooooo...

They'll only go so far and stop, being too big. Massive brain fart.
Now I have to procure a RN top punch that will fit the Lee boolit......

Well today, I'm lubing 9 mm since my new Dillon 550 failsafe rod shoulder bushing broke. Loaded 700 rounds 9 mm then changed tool heads for 45 acp and...snap, the little plastic piece snapped in two. I called Dillon Precision yesterday and they are sending me several new bushings, and some other primer rod parts that they said may need replacing in the future...all for free! I was also given advice on how to sand and ream the bushing so that it won't "catch" and break again. Very surprised by the service they gave. It doesn't seem possible in today's world to have a company who gives parts for free? Great customer service!

Started casting for the first time ever. Took a little adjusting and fine tuning the temperature to get good results. I was casting .308 hp 100gr pellets for my high power air rifle. Over the course of 3 days, I casted and sized about 1200 rounds. I purchased new clean lead. These worked out to about $.03 each!! I was paying $.26 each for swaged rounds and mine are just as nice!!! I'm addicted now.

Loaded 64 rounds of .43 Spanish using Trail Boss powder. Can't wait to try this load. james

[EMR]

Was able to cast, PC and size 100 of .44mag and 100 of .45ACP. Forgot to get new nitrile gloves so handling the boolits with pliers was a pain!

[cwlongshot]

I handle all mine, pre PC, with a tablespoon!

Loaded 50 rounds of 30/30 with .7cc of Bullseye and 160 gr cast Lee boolits for fire forming. I believe I have 50 more to go and they'll all be ready!
I also sized and put gas checks on whatever boolits that were laying on the bench. Same boolit as above. I just may TL them with JPW and load them next

Technically not in the shop/reloading room, as there's no heat out there and a blizzard blowing into town. But I really wanted to do a few reloads. So I grabbed my little Lee loader and did ten cartridges in the bedroom.

Had success with my NOE pellet mold after getting some coaching in ladle pressure casting. Tried a session with my new brass NOE .40 but couldn’t get it up to temp in the time I had so no keepers. Looking forward to next time with that one.

Primed the last of my 30/30 brass. Also ran the boolits that I had just run through the Lee sizer through the LAM II and then TL them with JPW. It's hot in the shed and they should dry out by noon tomorrow. By then I'll have gone through my books and see what powder I want to put under them....

Hi all. I sized and cleaned a bunch of .45 Colt, .30-06, 30 Herrett, and .45-70 brass. Ed

[cwlongshot]

Put some brass away.
I picked up a bunch last week and my supply needs organizing

Used my new Lee Undersized Carbide Sizing die to size some 32ACP brass. Pulled the recently sized 223 from the tumbler and they are ready to load. I think I am gonna just keep loading these 200 rounds of 223 while I build my 223 stockpile of processed brass. Id like to have a few thousand loaded in cans.

[Tom W.]

I finally loaded up the rest of my 30/30 brass. I put some normal rather than light loads in these this time. Tomorrow is range day!

[sigep1764]

Loaded a 100 rounds of 223 for range trip Sunday and punched out a hundred more 270 checks before work.

[cwlongshot]

Nothing... Im 200 miles from there.

[44Blam]

I figured out my 40 S&W load the other day, so I made 200 of them. There's a match tomorrow.
