What did you do in the reloading room today?

[sigep1764]

They are getting a regular workout for sure! Ive already loaded and shot around 500 cast boolits through the rifle!

[sigep1764]

Thats the plan! All in a 50cal ammo can. Gonna be around 300 270Win cases, 300 lubed and checked boolits, primers, 310 tool and dies, a powder funnel, travel size Advil bottle filled with graphite for neck lube, and a container of powder. Im thinking Tupperware for the powder container, but I'm open to suggestions. All my powder is bought in 8lb jugs. The loading block is a styrofoam insert from a box of factory 45ACP.

Is there anything else I might be missing or that might make my time easier?

I use these for BP in the field. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079X3BJFH...&pd_rd_w=ya7F3

Might work ok for powder in your portable reloading kit.

I have been trying to expand mine for almost two years... I have one corner of the basement, but its gotten quite full. I built a pantry/ storage room of sorts for the wife two years back and bought extra lumber. I built that storage in opposite corner and it left 17' between the two walls along one end of my basement. I have it framed. (One 17' wall) My plan is to move one cabinet and knock a hole in the will of existing loading room for access to this new room. I want drenches all around the walls. Narrow, like a lab room, as the room is only 10' wide. My hope is to gain a dedicated cleaning area (Cabinets/shelving above) and another progressive/ test load, loading bench.

I just need the drive to finish... told myself last winter was the time... I was very busy at work and when I got home, I was out of "gas".

Expecting some border jumpers, are you?

I set up a set of Hornady 308 dies for a new 700ADL I got. Fought those for a couple of hours but finally got them right. Loaded up 20 rounds with BLC-2 and 20 rounds of H4895.

After a long day of work to unwind... De-primed 200 .357 Mag and wet tumbled them to start preparing for my new 357 lever rifle. Cast and pc'd 200 45 colt 255 gn boolits for my New Vaquero. Loaded 150 125gn plinking rounds of 38 spl.

Loaded up a few 30/30 rounds. I'll take them to the range the next time I go just to have something to shoot.

I wet stretched a holster for a Colt Govt .380 until it fit my new Star BM. Fits good.
Hornady One Shot case lube was all I used to protect the pistol from the moisture- not a hint of rust in 2 days.
I need primers.

Severe storms in the area kept me from heading into the shed today.

[sigep1764]

Cast around 300 Lee277 135 the other day. Checked and ran about half through the Lyman 4500. Tumbled the brass from the range the other day.

Chamfered & deburred 300 new Starline 44mag cases ( out of 1000 ) using my LYMAN CASE PREP EXPRESS. went really fast.

When I set that up behind my LYMAN motorized case trimmer I can trim, chamfer/deburr, ream & clean the primer pockets on more than 100 once-fired G.I. cases in less then an hour.

Converted a treadmill I found on Craigslist for $50. Now I have the speed control I need plus I can built a little larger drum for bigger loads.

Neat!

That's cool. Those dc treadmill motors with speed control are excellent for many home made projects too.

Now that is awesome

Used my recently purchased Dillon 550B to turn out 100 rounds of 9mm, it went fairly well considering I have 2 RCBS Piggybacks that I have been using for 15+ years and the silly Dillon press rotates the other way and has to be manually indexed. All in all a nice addition to the Reloading room especially for the 75 dollars I paid for it.

Powder coated my first batch of boolits.
