What did you do in the reloading room today?

[Ronnieboy]

i moved and stacked MUCH ammo and cans out of the way so i could get to my bench without a 4 wheel drive. Put the sealed cans of primers and powder farther away so i could camo the pile. How much does 30mm cans full of 22's weigh? thanks for listening. Ron

[Doubles Shooter]

Loaded 300 .45 caliber lipsticks.

[8uck5nort]

Powder coated 208 Accurate 36-270CGs that I cast on Sunday. This is in prep for my 35 whelen reloading efforts to find a good all round heavy boolit load for my three hungry whelens.

[jdfoxinc]

Seated more cores.

[Walks]

Loaded up a box of .45S&W with some Very Fine cast/PC'd bullets by my friend here CWLONGSHOT.

And spent 20 minutes looking for the small drum setup for an OLD Hornady Powder Measure.

[Texas by God]

I chamfered the necks of some .223 brass, did a few file strokes on a front sight dovetail, counted some bullets and cooked some hamburgers. And played fetch with the dog.

[Old School Big Bore]

Painted my cheeks & forehead, lit some incense, wafted the smoke around with an owl feather, danced around in moccasins and loincloth shakin a coke bottle fulla squirrel teeth and snail shells, babblin somethin hopefully convincing to the primer fairies.

I produced 8# of 45-70 boolits of the 500 gr lee style and 8# for the .45 acp 200 gr style this morning instead of watching or listening or recording any news propaganda.

[Winger Ed.]

Prime'n them .223s Boss!

[jdfoxinc]

Where the heck did you find SRP?

Seated more cores.

[oldnmoldy]

i sat in my chair and and saw only a small amount of powder was wondering about the cheap surplus powder if it would work with my 45/120 its a large case and uses a big cast bullet anyone got any thoughts on this

[Winger Ed.]

In the cabinet where I keep them and my powder.
(I bought them last year, and had almost a full brick left from then)
They'll go well with that left over 3 pounds of 748.

I think Jeff Bartlett has some pull down 20mm stuff, but that's about all that's out there right now.

Or if ya want to make your own holy black, I've heard that willow wood charcoal is the best for it.

Got a new Lee 4-20 today that's been backordered for awhile. Tried it out with a new to me 410549 Lyman mold. I like the look of the old bullet. Now I have an excuse to go buy a 41. "But, Honey, I have all these bullets that don't fit my other guns!"

Lucky, Im trying to find some 748!

[highbrow]

been sitting at home with a mild case of Rona. Biggest issue is the loss of smell. Have been reloading a bunch of reduced loads in a variety of cartridges. Started with 223 then moved on to 22-250, 243 Win, 6.5 Grendel, 7.62x39, 6.5 Swede, 308 Win, 30-06 and 300 WM. Most of these are with J-words as the only boolits I have are 30 cal and I just shot the last of my GC boolits. I am fortunate to live in the sticks so I can shoot off my back deck.

[jdfoxinc]

Finished seating cores and switched to point forming dies. Blackmon dies were easy to adjust. Turn out purty j-words. Was also tumbling cleaning some annealed derimed cases. Shiney.

[AndyC]

Cast about 150x 357 158gr SWCs from a cheap Lee mold to play with mixed PC colors.

[kevin c]

Continuing to recondition some molds.

I finished sanding the sprue plates and mold tops with wet dry fine grit papers on glass. Tried to use a left hand bit to drill out a broken bolt but will need to get a real extractor. Made a jig to hold a mold block while I work on cleaning up the mating surface.

I need to buy roll pins to pin loose handles (or maybe I'll use JB Weld). I have new hardware, including wave washers, and I saved some of the old rusty stuff with a hot citric acid bath (I'll have to remember to keep them oiled; the citric acid took the finish off, and I'm not sure the surface passivation from it is enough protection).

Oh, and I cut some scrap aluminum to work as a mold heating block and took one end off each of a couple old bread pans, a smaller inside a larger with Fiberglas insulation sandwiched between, to put over the mold as it preheats.

Tried Eastwood’s copper penny coating......meh, I will stick with clear...
