What did you do in the reloading room today?

[Newtire]

Hey! It only got up to 108* yesterday, so I'm sure the garage was only 120* or so - with no air flow!
I need to rearrange the casting room in the basement, and you can come over here for a boolit casting day.

Sounds like a great idea.

Find a company that replaces furnaces and get a squirrel cage fan from a dead furnace. I mount one blowing down the pathway between my benches and it allows me to cast comfortably even when the temperature is pushing triple digits.

I did that years ago in the garage & it works the charm.

I moved all my sorted WW, and stick ons to ingot area last night, will melt down and purify when its cooler.have about 600 more# to process. Cloudy today. May ride horses later today if not raining, with wife. Haven’t rode horses since spring when it got so hot so fast.

I pan lubed and sized some Lyman 225 gr. 45 cal. LRN bullets I cast from 1/2 Lyman #2 and 1/2 stick on wheel weights. Sized to roughly .453" and I lubed them with Speed Green. I am going to try them in my 45 Colt SA. Maybe over about 5.0-5.5 Trail Boss to start...

I haven't tried them yet. Been raining for a while and the SO range is where I usually go. The ones I loaded w/ 5 gr. of BE shot into a tiny group @ 25 yards A bit high at to the right, but I didn't do any scope adjustments, just shot to have fun. No, no pictures... altho I should have taken a few....

I was going to put the same charge as I use in my 9mm, but I'll save that for next time...

I went to the range and fired the above mentioned load @ 50 yards. I did adjust the scope a bit to put my groups to the left a bit, but didn't change the elevation. The 6.6 gr charge of Bulls Eye was about like shooting a loud .22 mag. Recoil was almost nonexistent. It grouped well, but about 4 inches high. I didn't make any more scope adjustments because I was just shooting to have fun, and the gunsmith took my rifle home with him to re-chamber it to 30/30 A.I.
The heavier loads did group a lot closer to POA.

Sized expanded and cleaned 100x357 mag cases.

[lightman]

Not very much! Deprimed and tumbled some odd cases for a trade.

[Tom W.]

Cleaned the 30/30 brass that I fired yesterday as well as the 9mm . I left the 9mm cases in for a while, not because they were dirty, but because I wanted to watch the NASCAR race. Then I went back and trimmed a few of the 30/30. I HATE trimming brass.

[Texas by God]

Getting ready to load 30-30 Win and 8x57 Mauser with Lee boolits and Red Dot for fun.

[cwlongshot]

Loaded up 50 25/45 Sharps rounds,




Then prepped 50 6.5 Grendel brass and lastly I prepped up 50 more 450 Bushmaster cases and finished last night by loading 10 to test with a yellow tipped 250G Bullet on top of some lil gun.

Next up will be 12 gauge skeet loads, wife and I shot a bunch this weekend.

I got 50 30/30 cases primed and flared, and took my 9mm brass out of the tumbler....
Gotta get some of the 30/30 ready to be fire formed....

[Hossfly]

Received my order from Dillon, 4 more small primer tubes for the 650, and the tool caddy that I thought I didn’t need. Now all the Allen wrenches and die nut tool will be there when I need them.
