What did you do in the reloading room today?

[Bob in St. Louis]

Wow, my slugs have never been that shiny!
Beautiful!

[WRideout]

My nine year-old granddaughter and I sized and flared a small batch of 38 spc and 357 mag cases. Sizing is the part she likes.

I walked in took one look around and walked out disgusted !!! It seems that once again my reloading room has turned into the overflow junk storage room. I don't understand why this always happens to me. ARRRRRRRRRRRGH.

I lock my reloading room. When I was living in GA it was a walk through den that led to my bedroom and mysteriously a bunch of junk always ended up in there. Now I keep it locked and if it gets junked up I am to blame.

I'm still processing brass. Finished resizing all (I think) of the 40's but I still have a day left tumbling them. Probably take a break for a day or two and start on another caliber. I really got behind the last few years that I was working! And this has provided me with something to do during the cold winter months. Still have 8 buckets of wheel weights to smelt too! Waiting on a couple of buddies to get freed up!

I found a bunch of empty Midway cartridge boxes that I put up for safe keeping and flaired a box of .357 brass. Now to await either loading said cases or going to the range to empty some more.

Attachment 213272
Loaded some pretty 44 mags

[Walter Laich]

loaded up some 32 Mag, 3 boxes 12 ga shells, sized the 32 bullets, worked on my presses a bit

[JBinMN]

Explained case cleaning/prep/inspection & then showed a 70+ yr old , V.N. vet how to "batch style", lube cases when necessary, ( even though he has carbide/titanium Hornady die sets ,but showed him anyhow , just so he knows.) How to set up to de-prime & size, clean primer pockets, expand case mouth & ram prime( 25) & hand prime (25) 38 spec. cases on an old Lee "O"- type single stage press I loaned him.

[ He has a brand new Hornady AP Lock & Load set up that he & his nephew got & they have never reloaded rifle/handgun. He asked me if I would show him how to use it & how to reload & I told him he had to ride the "1-speed" bike, before I would show him the 3,5, or 10 speed to ride first. He was OK with that. I told him, "Good! Otherwise, you can get someone else to show ya.".. ]

Gave him a lesson plan to read some more, basically some "book/bible" homework, & cover weighing, adding powder & bullet seating,("boolits" are later) then crimping. Basically told him to hit the "bible"/book( 49th Lyman) for a couple days & I will see him next week to start lesson #2.

Had a good time.

Well decided that I wanted to see about making up some light clay target loads for my 10 gauge. So after looking over the menu, I decided on a 1-1/4 ounce load of number 7's. Turned out pretty good.













Since these turned out so well I decided to do another 25 loaded with 1-3/4 oz of #5 magnum shot. Can't wait to pop the cap on one of these. lol

Just PC’d a handful of 358-160 just to try out my new PID I built for my cheap toaster oven. Before it would vary by as much as 50 degrees on my separate oven thermometer. Now it only varies by 3 degrees at most!

It’s interesting to see I lost 30 degrees just by inserting the barely filled tray momentarily.

Gotta love that Smokes Powder!

[Thin Man]

I cast some boolits. First came a NEI .313-105 WC design for the various 32 S&W Long revolvers (will also try these in 32 H&R Magnum). Next was the Lyman 452374 ball design. I made about 300 of each pattern, allowed them to cool and sized/lubed all. If the weather cooperates I will test some of these this week.

[jdfoxinc]

Started sizing the 5 gal bucket of .40. Continued tumbling the .223 brass about 1/3 rd through that 5 gal bucket. Have about 2 gal of 9x19 I deprimed last week waiting for tumbling. Received 4 molds from graf' s Friday. All 3 buckshot Lee molds and a Lyman 90gr .355.

Going to be a busy feb.

[Tom W.]

Tinkered with a 308 load today with some old stock 180gr match Kings and W846 and wasn’t let down. Turns out the investment in the hornady COAL gauge and modified cases was worth it. Group inside piece of aluminum is at 97m

[Plate plinker]

Sized about 1000 9mm PCs.

[Texas by God]

I was making some 8x57 cases from .270 cases and then I stuck a case in the sizing die. I drilled and tapped the case for a bolt I can't find. So I turned off the lights and went in the house to watch the game. Grumble.

[RED333]

Started a priming horn, well got the tip cut off and drilled for the priming valve.
