I loaded 100 rounds of match 38 special target wadcutters in RP wadcutter brass provided by two generous gentlemen on this site. I hope to try them out soon.
Installed a .38 SUPER barrel in my mid-size RIA .22 TCM/9mm M1911. I had tried installing the 5" full-size barrel in it, but because of the difference in the part of the barrel that holds the link & link pin, the guide rod stuck out slightly and that resulted in me not being able to rotate the barrel bushing.
Tested hardness of lead and loaded some 357 for new dan wesson
Loaded just over 250 357mag rounds, 150gr RN, Mixed brass, WW primers, and CFE Pistol powder.
Then poured around 500 more 150gr RN and will probably pour another 600 more today so I can PC up just over 1k this weekend.
Loaded a few hundred 12 ga 18.5 gr GD 1oz of 8's and 7.5's
Lubed and sized 38 162 gr hp
Readied a ML for shipment
Actually, yesterday, I loaded some 75gr wadcutters for .357.
Not 'in' the reloading room, but 'for' the reloading room; ordered a bunch of X-Lox liquid lube to make up some Ben's Liquid. Have a good number of ingots made up and plan (at least, hope) to do my first bullet casting within the next week or so.
So far today I walked into the reloading room and checked on my 357/38 projectile stash. It was lacking very much so. I broke down grabbed some Jword bullets. 200 bucks worth will last me the year. So I will restock with 5k 158g for now and keep shopping for lead locally. I am not sure where all the lead is going in my area but I can not get my hands on any.
Not in the reloading room but I did build this fast. Still need to finish the seat so picture the seat done.
Loaded up 100ish 357mag rounds after test firing the first 25.
Last several days cut up old T-shirts for cleaning patches.
Did a little case prep for 35 Rem and tossed them in the cleaner with a few 300 Savage cases. Will load them up tomorrow for the next load test range trip.
Loaded up the 35 Rem cases for Scopekiller, 300 Savage cases still need more cleaning.
Powder coated and sized some .357 and .44 bullets.
just fired up the pot, going to make as many tl358-158-swc and 401-175-tc as i can in the next 2 hours then busy the rest of the day
weight sorted some 224 boolits. not a lot of fun. Had to use my mechanical scale as my cheap digital won't weigh the same boolit the same twice in a row.
I just added a few ammo boxes I needed so I could have someplace to store my reloads, never enough boxes to put your reloads into!!!!!!
