What did you do in the reloading room today?

[KrakenFan69]

Sized many pounds of 9mm 124gn and .357 158gn Hi-Tek Coated projectiles. Ordered 2,000 more wads for shot shell and slug loading. Finished a DIY Chest rig with pockets for AR mags and Molle webbing to mount a shot shell carrier to.

Got a few boxes of hornady Win 405 j words for loading in my 450/400 N. E. last year and never got around ordering the Lee push thru sizer in .410. The Win 405 is a .411 dia as Hornady makes it and since Ruger made the grove dia for this No.1 in .410 I figured it would be a good idea to at least get the J words in the same dia as the grove before I go around stuffing them in shells for trials. Lots of standard stuff at Hornady for this caliber, but it is nice to have something other than a 210 grain pistol j word to shoot out of this rifle. This 300 grain j word should be a good compromise I think, at least it is constructed for rifle parameters in the field.

The Lee sizer did a great job and just a few rolls on the lube pad with RCBS lube made them go through the sizer without one sticking at all. Of course I was only taking them down .001

Cast is fun to shoot in the 450/400, I use boolits intended for the 41 Mag. Gas check them and have a mirror handy so you can appreciate the grin you'll have shooting them.

Nothing yet, I'm still drinking coffee. But I plan to put some of the range brass that I sorted last night into the tumblers. While they are running I will be sorting wheel weights.

Heading down to the shop shortly. A friend just bought a 99 Savage in .300 Savage at a recent gun show and I found him a cheap set of used dies. He's heading over this morning so we can load him up some test ammo.

What load are you using? Always looking for loads other people have had success with, tough to find any data for these old war horses let alone for cast.

That's a big negative Ghost Rider. The pattern is full.

re-loaded 60 rounds of cast for my 30-30 !!!

[Tom W.]

Put some primers in some .44 mag brass and flared the mouths..... then said the rest can stay for tomorrow. Running out of brass to load.....

My first day of PA rifle season, loaded only 10 rounds, .30-30 150 gr Sierra J word FPs over 34 gr BL-C for a 101 year old Marlin 1893. I walked out and fired 5 rounds offhand from the magazine without dismounting and hit the 6" steel target at 100 yards with all 5. Still hunted the rest of the day and put it on 4 does and a spike buck yelling "BANG!" at them, what fun. Most of the time I spent admiring the fine old rifle and imagining deer season, 1917....anyway here's my favorite lever gun:

[KrakenFan69]

Snow all melted and the ground dried out so I made a quick trip to the range to harvest some lead. Gets dark fast around here. Only scored about 12 lbs before it got too dark to bother. Every little bit... The RCMP (cops for my peeps back home) were practicing so after they left I did score a nice haul of 38 Special and .357 Brass though.

I've already de-primed a bunch of range brass that I have been sorting. Taking a little break, then I'll put some of it in the tumbler and sort some more weights while they are getting their bath. Basically just trying to get the loading room and storage room in order.

Loaded the last of my unfired .25 cap brass.

Got my new-to-me Lyman 4500 mounted and set up for my 45acp boolits. Plugged in the heater and after a while, started sizing/lubing some Lyman 452374 boolits.
This new sizer cured the problem I was having with my Lyman 45 sizer which was sizing a little off center(more on one side than the other).
After I had enough sized, I loaded them over 4.0 grains of Bullseye.
I am going to take them to the range soon and see how much difference it makes in the accuracy of my 1911.

I have an exploded drawing in real life of an H&R Topper on my bench. Some trigger/hammer stoning, a new firing pin, reassemble for the upcoming stub job.

Heading down to the shop shortly to sort another big pile of brass ...

Finished up my dual PID controller. 1 controls my melting pot and the other controls the hot plate that pre heats my molds.
