Cast about 500 36-180LGs... I FINALLY got my Norma 200 load feeding 100% with these guys.

[jorg0370]

I did a few things in the reloading room yesterday;

I tumbled a handful of .303 British brass, de-primed a couple of those cases that had boxer primers, and sharpened the wet grey matter between my ears on the challenges of Berdan primers.

[Loudy13]

Last night finished the 208gr subs for 300BO, finished off a lb of IMR target loading 9mm (200rds), re-filled some 45-70 cases that I pulled down with IMR 3031 and seated some 405gr Fp's that were pulled from those cases. And last but not least pulled primers from a box of 45 GAP that I had pulled down for a buddy (ordered 1000 rds of the wrong ammo) put those primers and 6.5 grains of unique in 45 acp cases and re used the pulled bullets. It was a good day for reloading got a few projects finished now on to some new ones.

[Wayne Smith]

Right now reforming 30-06 brass to 9.3x57. As it turns cooler I have some other brass to anneal in the garage.

After moving, I´ve been living on the stash of boolits for a year now.
Finally I got my casting corner up and running!
A stable bench with storage and worksurface, a dual hotplate where I pre melt ingots so that I can fill the drip o matic with lead close to the casting temp. That keeps the flow going..
The other stoveplate is good for preheating moulds. An exhaustfan from a kitchen provides both light and extracts fumes. PID both for the pot and the Star lubesizer.

Also smelted about 150 kg of Lino and 5kg of pewter into ingots.
For that I use a propane cooker and a cut off propane tank as a pot, not shown here..

[osage]

Running range pickup 40's through Lee bugle buster on a snowy day.

tried out my new 30-06 SB sizing die, had way to many cases that wouldn't size due to what I am thinking is the "garand" bulge. Worked awesome should be able to now use about 400 cases i have that wouldn't fit in the case checker!!

[Cosmic_Charlie]

Did a much needed straightening up of my bench and then finished loading up about 400 primed .308 cases from Everglades Ammo. These had been pulled down because about 7% of the rounds had a slight fold and split on the neck. Lake City brass. Used a 160 grain gas checked and tumble lubed over 17 grains of 2400. These travel close to 1700 fps. and are quite accurate.

Got about 300 once fired 30-30 cases that I will be loading with a 165 grain plain base RD boolit over 15 grains of 2400. Just seems like a good time to lay in some ammo. ;-)

[hodg0610]

Prepped 20 7mm Mag cases for loading. Let me tell you, I really like that Lee collet sizer. Unfortunately, I'll be using j-bullets in this.

[tankgunner59]

Loaded 22 pieces of 6.5 CM brass converted from 243 braas. Going to take it out Thursday when we have better weather to fire form it. Next I need to cast about 500 Lee 120 grain TC boolits. Hopefully Thursday too.

[Seeker]

I deprimed and reamed the pockets on 477 223 cases, then got about 1/2 of them wet pin tumbled and dried while I got the Annealeez all set up and annealed a crap load of 22 ppc.

[kevin c]

I Dremelled something! :grin::grin::grin:

Me, diamond coated burrs rotating at high speed, and metal gun parts do not get along, but fortunately, the only thing suffering my tender ministrations was a plastic Glock magazine loader. The .22 loader for my conversion broke, so I trimmed down an OEM loader's tongue for the .22 mags.

It looks like the amateur hack job it is, but it will save my fingers. Actually, I'm suprised the Dremel didn't bite me. It's not like I haven't made blood sacrifices to the home workshop gods before...

[Don Purcell]

My ongoing attempt at straightening and cleaning. Mounted two powder measures up off the bench for more clearance and cleared the benchtop, at least one of them, will assault the other one tomorrow.

[sigep1764]

600 223 loaded today with MP 227-75 boolits over 20 grains of 748. 15.5 will function my ARs but the AR pistol wants more speed with the short barrel.

Busy day! Loaded the last of my processed 40 cal booits in 40 S&W - 150 of 'em. Powder coated 180 gas check 40 cal boolits (Accurate 40-180 GB) and then checked them with my home made checks - and it was a sucess!
Then I resized / decapped about 500 350 Legend cases.

Worked on home made in my shop push though die .353 until eleven oclock. Went out to lunch for Birthday lunch with my son and daughter-in-law. Back home, change into bathing suit and robe to sit in the sun with my wife for twenty minutes, then dressed for work in the shop finishing up the push through die. Sized a few 125 grain "9mm" boolits and loaded three for test in new rifle in 350 Legend/ Win brass with 26.3 grains H110, a start load. Opened a package of two ten round mags. for the .350. May shoot tomorrow after UTube Church out in the backyard. Pushed a pure lead boolit through the barrel to find the bore nowhere near .356 (SAMMI specs are .357). Checked some 125 grain factory jbullets FMJ .356 that measured .353. That may mean that my measuring equipment may not be calibrated. Could not seat the bullet in the groove. It had to be seated hiding the bands completely. Where the bullet headspaces, the rifling begins. Still humming the "No White Christmases in Houston" song about sittin on the back porch with an Iced Tea in my hands.

[44Blam]

[hodg0610]

Loaded 100 rounds of 30 carbine for my Blackhawk. Re-looking some loads (50) with the 311410 130 grain boolit over 2400, and trying another batch (50) with the Ohaus 30-120-F 120 grain gas checked boolit over the same charge of 2400. I'll be shooting these at 100 yards. Problem is, they always shoot high, and the sights are bottomed out. I need to switch to lighter boolits I think.

In the batch with the 311410s, I deprimed with a universal deprimer, and only partially resized the cases hoping that might help with accuracy. I suspect it won't make any difference, but I'll find out. The cases chamber with a little push.

This cabinet was made of leftover OSB from building the new shop. It was in the way and not good for most of the things I needed to build. My reloading area was squeezed into the top of the shop and the ceiling is the inside of the sloped roof so there's no place to go vertical. It's all scraps, mostly from flooring OSB. The only new parts are the hinges, hasp and screws. I put a little riser under it to keep from having to reach all the way to the floor to get to the bottom shelf. I'll probably have some leftover birch ply later and will make a top for it from better materials.

It might be stoopid to post photos of my powder inventory but I didn't want to unload the cabinet. Didn't have any photos of it empty. The spacing on the left is 7" between shelves. That allows for full tipping of the bottles without the shelf above interfering. The spacing on the right is 10" and it accommodates most taller bottles/canisters.

The first picture is while it was under construction, the second is in its final place with the riser.

I really appreciate the way you thought through the height needed to tilt a bottle not just horizontally slide it in or out of place

I find with reloading there are so many scattered 'pieces parts' that organization is both a must and nearly impossible without a decent amount of forethought.

I have a scrap wood shelf holding my primer stash and organization for empty brass below...my real need is a shelf system for all the dies, sizing dies, priming rams, allen wrenches, shell holders ECT ECT ECT....I have tried several iterations of organization containers and boxes but nothing seems to scratch the itch the way I'd like just yet

Finished 75 rounds of 68gr BTHP sierras for my 223 bolt and 30 rounds of 77gr BTHP for the same gun. Its nice being able to load up some bullets after finally getting the test rounds complete.

Will probably need stuck case removing tool to free it.I've had one once before....but I'm typically really good about going slow and ensuring enough lube ECT ECT.....not sure what happened but here I am...yeah I may have to get a tool.

Prob in this is that the expanding rod and pin are so close to the flash hole I don't think I can get them out of the way in this short 300 blk case to even drill and tap the primer hole.

Then...I need to either find a replacement zip spindle for this die or (my preference) open up the threads on the decapping rod nut so i can insert a Lee expanding decapper (actually a replacement from squirrel daddy)

Glad to have an extra sizing die on hand but overly cautious now!!

You probably have an improvised stuck case remover on hand. All it takes is a 1/4x20 tap and the appropriate drill bit, a 1/4x20 bolt of appropriate length, preferably a socket head capscrew or other strong bolt and a washer to go with it and a small socket like a 3/8 drive x 3/8” or so.

Drill out the flash hole and tap it. Place the socket over the case head. Put the bolt in through the washer and tighten. Works the same as the commercial ones.

I tried a side project while loading .223 jacketed ammo.
9 grains of Unique, 56 grain .225" cast with aluminum gas check, Federal small pistol primers. I only loaded three and they shot well at 40 yards with just my elbows resting on the snow coated bench. Of course they didn't work the AR15 action, straight pull only.

Well, for some dang reason I can’t post any photos. But, y’all know what they look like. Thanks, GP Idaho for the trade for this mold!, it’s a learning curve for sure! But they look ok to load.

Update: exactly 147 of those bad boys NOE slugs! Still can’t upload photos, says I don’t have permission and need to refresh page. I’m stumped on that business. Oh well, I also put 25 pounds of 00 buckshot out yesterday also. Cut them, dry them and I might just powder coat some, ya never know!

I've cast and loaded a bunch of those guys! I am shooting a Fiocchi case, a Claybuster CB1118-12 WAA12 wad, 30 grain of Herco and a piece of newspaper to hold the powder down... They come out EXACTLY at spec for a roll crimp and they go about 1250 fps... In my gun they print about 6" low at 50 yards.

[highbrow]

been sitting at home with a mild case of Rona. Biggest issue is the loss of smell. Have been reloading a bunch of reduced loads in a variety of cartridges. Started with 223 then moved on to 22-250, 243 Win, 6.5 Grendel, 7.62x39, 6.5 Swede, 308 Win, 30-06 and 300 WM. Most of these are with J-words as the only boolits I have are 30 cal and I just shot the last of my GC boolits. I am fortunate to live in the sticks so I can shoot off my back deck.

[jdfoxinc]

Finished seating cores and switched to point forming dies. Blackmon dies were easy to adjust. Turn out purty j-words. Was also tumbling cleaning some annealed derimed cases. Shiney.

[AndyC]

Cast about 150x 357 158gr SWCs from a cheap Lee mold to play with mixed PC colors.

[kevin c]

Continuing to recondition some molds.

I finished sanding the sprue plates and mold tops with wet dry fine grit papers on glass. Tried to use a left hand bit to drill out a broken bolt but will need to get a real extractor. Made a jig to hold a mold block while I work on cleaning up the mating surface.

I need to buy roll pins to pin loose handles (or maybe I'll use JB Weld). I have new hardware, including wave washers, and I saved some of the old rusty stuff with a hot citric acid bath (I'll have to remember to keep them oiled; the citric acid took the finish off, and I'm not sure the surface passivation from it is enough protection).

Oh, and I cut some scrap aluminum to work as a mold heating block and took one end off each of a couple old bread pans, a smaller inside a larger with Fiberglas insulation sandwiched between, to put over the mold as it preheats.

[Targa]

Tried Eastwood’s copper penny coating......meh, I will stick with clear..:smile:.

[Hossfly]

Switched over the Dillon 650 from 9mm to .223 caliber change. Finally got all back to producing .223. Have opened my last brick of small rifle primers. Will have to stop when that is used up and wait for more components.
The one glitch was had small powder bar and needed large one, once that was changed out everything going good.

[jhunt1981]

Cast some 158g SWCs for my .357, some 175g TCs for my 10mm. Now to trim some 5.56 to get them out of my loading blocks so I can do the .357s tomorrow.

This is 11 lbs of 358-125 FP which calculates to 616 boolits if they are 125 gr each. It is about half of what I cast today. some I tumble lubed and some I powder coated. It will be 38 SPecial and/or 9mm ammo one day.

DeRIMMING, not dePRIMING. It's the first step after annealing in making 22cal jackets for swaging out of spent 22rimfire cases. It is done with a die like a Lee push through sizer and a "pin" that clips in to the press ram and goes inside the case.

Bought a sheet of 3/4" plywood, cut it to fit, put some bracing in underneath and it's ready to go. Thought I'd use it this weekend, but the weather report is crapping out so maybe I'll just work on the internal shelving. When I'm not casting my lead pot and equipment will be stored underneath and I'll be able to use the work top for other work.

Cast about a hundred Lee 1oz key drive slugs.
The Night Before, I loaded a hundred rounds of 1oz AA target loads for my friends daughter. She is on the H.S. Trap Club, and I figure if I can cut her practice costs down she can practice more for less...
It's all about the next generation....That is awesome sir

Yesterday I loaded some .308” 125 gr Nosler Ballistic Tips that I found in the bullet drawer in my ultra modern .30 cal cartridge - the .30 Short Flanged Needmoor- AKA 30-30 Winchester.......
They kind of look like .17 HMRs on steroids.

Loaded part #3 of my Accurate 40-180BG 10mm odyssey. Part 3 is 18 boolits in an effort to fine tune my load.

It is AA#9 with a gas check Accurate 40-180 BG (with home made gas checks) boolit that was powder coated. It was fairly "warm" recoil wise, but pretty darn accurate...

Too cold to do any reloading, but melted down some loose wheel weights into ingots. After skimming off the clips got about 5 1/2 pounds. Fluxed with clean sawdust.

[Mal Paso]

Cast a pot's worth of 44 Larsen deep hollowpoints just because.

Loaded up 300rds .44Mag Cowboy Ammo for My Chiropactor.
Sorted a mixed box of brass that I've been throwing odds & ends into for years. Headstamps like you would not believe.

Four years ago, I took apart my Grandpa's Stevens 59A 410 shotgun with the intention of touching up the blue on the mag tube and refinishing the stock. It took two weeks back then to sand and Tru Oil the stock to a nice glass finish. Tonight, I finally blued the tube and figured out how to put it all back together. Turned out nice. Still need to paint the trigger guard tomorrow as its aluminum and won't take bluing. I know its just a cheap old shotgun that probably doesn't deserve the Tru Oil and all the attention, but the wood is nice and this will get handed down someday.
