What did you do in the reloading room today?

[Milky Duck]

poked some cast 405grn .45 cal boolits through a .458 sizing die I had mate reem for me.

[Mandoair]

Finished up the small primer 10 mm brass with fed GM200M primers finished off the CFE PISTOL 7.4 gr and MP-40-160-HP .401 Boolits. Setup for large primers sized up 300 of the MP 160s to .402. Now have to decide which power to use for the last 300 rounds of 10 mm brass left to load.

not really reloading related. However, i finally broke down and bought a set of ear muffs for shooting at the range. Being 38.5 yrs old, working in a shop setting for the last 13 years, and doing shooting sports. my hearing is getting bad. I had just stealing the foam plugs foam work. but, i think the muffs are better. i bought a decent $30-$35 pair off of amazon supposedly good up to 34 db

Better late than never.

Voice of experience: I wore the EAR plugs riding motorcycles daily for 30+ years, as well as weekend shooting. I'm severely deaf anyway.

Passive muffs aren't that great by themselves. Use them over foam plugs.

Made up 20 rds of AA#5 with 7.9gr nice soft load that shoot pretty good average 1025’. I’m going to look for 1150 to 1250 our so. Loaded up ladder to 9.2 try them when I can.

What did I do in the reloading room? Ran out of #@%!!* One Shot, that's what I did!

I've been working to load up large batches of handgun ammo with all-around type loads so have been processing brass to that end. Am working with 38 Special, 40 S&W, 44 Mag, 45ACP and 45 Colt doing the same operation on each cartridge as I go. Got most of them cleaned, deprimed and sized and flared. Got stumped on the 44 Mag when I realized that I was no longer patient enough to lube and clean each one anymore so came in and got on the internet to order a carbide sizer die. Already have carbide for all the others. Will set the 44 Mag cases aside tomorrow and proceed with priming the others. Noticed that I will have to cast a bunch of bullets for the 45 Colts before I'm done.

Loaded 150 ea. 357 mag, primed another 100 ea. cases.

Test fired a batch of 32acp in the Italian Beretta 81bb. 2gr of TG. Weighed each charge. Finishing up the rest for some target practice.

[Mandoair]

Tested 20 rounds of the AA number five starting at 8.2 up to 9.3. I got the velocity up to 1230 or so. Accuracy was not good. Have three rounds in the center at 15 yards and two of them wandering around I got use to CEF pistol and tight little groups all touching. I shall try again with the ones at 8.9 and see if I can pull them together or put the number five back on the shelf. This time I will try 20 rounds all the same head stamp and see what happens.

[GuyKickinit]

Loaed up the rest of 243 with 31.6 gr imr4320 under hornady FTX lids, using some br primers gifted to me by a customer.
Finished loading the 32acp with bergers bullets and crimped with a lee factory crimp die other wise they wont chamber.

[cwtebay]

Set up to load 300 - 32 WCF. Crushed 1 right off the bat, the 2nd and 3rd when I was nearing the finish line. 118gr cast from my own alloy about 18 BHN.

[GuyKickinit]

44 half jackets on the old Pacific

[35 Rem]

Charged and seated bullets in 200 38 Specials. Load is 4.0 grains Red Dot under the Lee 125 grain RFN. My favorite 38 Special load that complements my Uberti Stallion revolver with 5-inch barrel perfectly.

[Mandoair]

Loaded up couple hundred more 10 mm went through all my Boolits from my last casting session around 900. Still have couple few hundred empties I cleaned up today. May just have to save them as clean brass and move on to 9 mm. Have about 4000 range brass to do something with. Love my MP 8 holer for 9 mm PC. It’s good to have job security. Then back to 5.56.

[Texas by God]

I played Musical Scopes by mounting a Weaver J2.5 on my 38-55, moving a K4 from my 6.8 AR to my 44-40, moving a Norinco 3x9 from the 44-40 to the scope drawer, then adding a 6x Redfield to the 6.8 AR…..
And tweaked the previous mounting of a Vortex 2x7 on my 91 Argentine 7.65……
Now I’ve got some sighting in to do.

Started reloading for the Glock 23s, leaving one a 40 and the other will be changed to a 357 Sig. Got some Sig range brass from Everglades. 40 pulled brass from American. Out of 50 Sig pieces had four bulged too badly to save, made a belt on the case web, thought I might get them to work as dummy rounds, that was a bust, could not tell what was sticking in the chamber, so scrapped them. After, reloading the resized to spec brass the Sig reloading went OK for a bottleneck pistol case, not my first day at the rodeo with those. The 40s laded with 180s was pretty straight forward, with new brass. Then about the time I got the Sig die's setup, the thunder storm came, thunder and lightning, pouring down rain, so left the shop to go to the house to see about the wife, she gets kind of skittish after the tornado last year.

I cast another handful of .22 bullets in the H&G number four mold .
