Boolit Sortin' Fun

[Jim Flinchbaugh]

Finally got around to devising my sortin' board.
Gives a nice "graphical" look at how consistent my pouring is too. :)
Each slot is for .1 grain increments.
Definitely sped up my process.

Nice. I just use egg cartons.

I am still trying figure out what bullet sorting and fun have to do with each other.

That board looks like a nifty way of doing things. Nicely done.

some polyurethane would have made the grain stand out better.
that's way more high tech than my plastic cups though.

Thats the cleanest reloading bench i've seen in a long time!

I like your stands for your presses.

I sort mine the same way except I don't have those nice grooves to hold the bullets upright so the cat won't knock them over. It's nice to get that "bell curve". With most of my Lyman 2 cavities I actually get two "bell curves" representing each cavity. With Mehec & NOE molds, not so much.

Thats really high class sorting. I just make piles of .2gr increments for .22 to .25 calibers on a couple of paper towels. I don't even weigh calibers larger than .25.
Nice looking pooch, does he hunt?

That's the first reloading bench I've SEEN in a long time. Nice set up all round.

I like it. If/when I get as far into this as you, maybe I'll remember to make something like it.

I don't weigh pistol boolits either. I only started weighing out rifle stuff, to see if the weights where the occasional flier I was getting
and, it makes me work on m,y technique while casting to get more consistent.
Clyde the pooch only hunts for food and a place to take an obuma after he eats.
He doesn't like gunfire very much.
He was a pound find, about 1.5 years old when I got him, he does like to tree squirrels though :)

The clean bench:
My bench must stay clean as I dont have the mental fortitude that I used to.
I miss mental clarity and the dexterous fingers of my youth

Press stands,
I still have about 7 of these for sale if any body wants one,
one for Lee Classic Cast, one for Dillon 550-650, and several for Rock Chuckers

When you're finished get the dog to sniff your work.
Instant lab report, does'nt get better than that.

[Bulldogger]

Swanky, I envy anyone who has the time to cast that many, which implies he has the time to SHOOT that many too.

I also use margarine tubs to store my boolits. Beats the old baby sock my muzzloader sabots are kept in though... (I forgot I did that, and they stayed on my dresser top for a year!! I was so mad I couldn't find them... They're still in the sock now of course.)

I can show you what the opposite of that looks like. :)

[RugerFan]

Jim, I like what you've done there. My sorted boolits are lined up precariously on my bench just waiting to get knocked over. I guess I need to build a sorter too.

exactly what brought this to be. I got tired of getting them all lined up , and sure as hairballs, dominoes! :mrgreen:

Chicken thief re lab report,
now that almost made me need to clean my screen !

Thats quite a sorting rig! Sort of a Rolls Royce of sorting rigs. I use a slanted board but without the slots. I just put a sheet of paper over the board (1/2" plywood about 15" square), write the weights on the paper and lay the boolits flat. Like your rig, but it would take more space than I am willing to give up. And I could never find anything in a loading room as neet and clean as yours! Pretty nice!

+1 on being the first reloading bench I've seen in a long time, haven't seem mine in years!
