What did you do in the reloading room today?

[Outer Rondacker]

Well I did not do any work today in the reloading room. BUT I did have a nice chat on the phone about shooting and reloading with another member while standing in my reloading room.

Nice! "I" think that qualifies anyway.

I got one of these little primer catchers off ebay and installed it on my dedicated de-priming press. This thing is fantastic. This guy is a genius with a 3d printer. I de-primed 500 cases and the spent primers just roll perfectly down the tube into the bucket. No bridging problems. I'll probably get some for my wife's and my Rock Chucks. I am so tickled with this little device. You can find them on ebay or follow the link below.

Now onto the next project. I am making a lubricator heater out of one of those electric coffee cup warmers I picked up at Goodwill for a dollar and some scrap aluminum.

Sized 540 30-06 cases...

I started in the reloading room at least - slugging the barrel on a rifle I just picked up hahaha . This began yesterday afternoon through today I finally got it out about a hour ago . I still don't have the measurements but the next time I try it I lube the slug .

sorted brass and shotgun shells from the cowboy match yesterday.

there were 4 shooters' cases involved so it took a bit of time but it's good therapy for me (I process the empty brass for them)

I let my old Dillon earn it's space on the bench yesterday; loaded 400 rounds of an 1100 round batch to replace the stash I haven't been able to find. After I got them packaged you'll never guess what I found! My lost stash of 45acp ammo in a can marked, oddly enough, 45acp. Was pretty sure I'd checked there, Obviously I hadn't. Some of my brass is getting a little old but it hasn't split or failed to make it home with me so it's all good.
Then I put the first coat of LLA on a few hundred boolits. Today I sized those boolits and applied another coat.

[KrakenFan69]

Loaded more shotshells for testing various loads of #7.5 shot, #4 & 00 Buckshot.

Re-sifted my bucket of range scrap and picked out the wood and rocks. Ended up with 61 pounds. Its better then nothing. Cleaned and put away my 22 pistol.

[Walter Laich]

just came back from sorting brass and dropped a bunch of 32s in the tumbler. Will go out later and switch out for 38s

might wet tumble the 44s, 45 Colt and ACPs tomorrow

Loaded 100 44 Special cases. I used a 230 gr TC that I bought and some RCBS 225 gr SWC with a GC. Used 5.5 gr of ETR-7. I’ve been playing with a used Charter Arms Bulldog Pug that I just got, I put a set of Pachmayr grips on it so it fits my hand well and the recoil is controllable. Nothing like throwing big chunks of lead down range!

[Outback32]

Wet tumbled brass yesterday with my new harbor freight rock tumbler. I think I'm going to like that. Pulled a bunch of bullets coming up with test rounds for the 44 and powder coated 400 boolits. I think I've spent most the weekend in there. I still have 600 red of 357 to powder coat

[jdfoxinc]

Started to cast some 90 gr .355. Found my 20 lb Lee pot has a plugged spout. So tried ladle casting. Forgot how slow that is. Also tedious. Wasn't very successful, not enough head pressure for good fill out.

Finished getting the used T/C Hawken barrel I got off ebay a while back inleted to my stock. Now to drill the ramrod hole...

[RedlegEd]

Loaded 100 rounds of .30-06 to function test Lee 200gr Cast in my M1s. I'm using Larry Gibson's recommendation of starting low with H4895 +dacron to find where they just function at 100%. I've got three (an HRA, WRA, and IHC) so it'll take a little while to find what each likes to eat. The HRA already went up through 33gr without full function, so the box on the right is 34-37gr. Ed

[Walter Laich]

going to wet tumble 45 colt, 44 mag and 45 acp brass (all at same time)

do some sorting of 32 and 38 cases from yesterday

[evoevil]

sizing with my inverted press. tried a new color from smokes. traffic blue ............ it nice

[Soundguy]

Attachment 217762 Made a few tool post.

very nice!

[Tom W.]

I resized some boolits down to .357 just to see......

Couldn't find any mineral spirits to thin my mule snot, so into the lubrisizer they went.

[JBinMN]

Loaded up 50 more 357Mag rounds with 158gr SWC.
Then I sized 25 mire of the same boolits at .358 & loaded up 25 - 38sp..
Trying to use up leftover primers & the last of a pound of Red Dot. I think I may be able to do 100 more rounds of 38sp with the SWCs load at 2.5 gr. for the missus reduced loads before I run out of powder, so I TL'd another 100 SWCs & put out some cases in a couple trays. I will go down & size the boolits later today, re-lube & load them up when they are dry. Might even take the missus shooting tomorrow since the weather is starting to actually warm up & be nice out. Looking forward to that.



Next?
