What did you do in the reloading room today?

**243winxb** · 11-27-2021, 08:42 PM

WRA 69 Brass got loaded again. Son dug out old hunting licenses.

**CaffeinatedChimp** · 11-27-2021, 08:46 PM

Loaded up a couple hundred rounds of 9MM 135 GR TC training ammo

Still reading, researching and acquiring equipment to get into casting my own boolits some day soon.

**Texas by God** · 11-27-2021, 09:19 PM

The time has arrived to put a scope on my H&R Topper 44WCF. Drilled and tapped it for a #62 Weaver base. A simple Bushnell 4x Sportview will suffice, I think.
And trying to round up .40 S&W ammo makings....

Picked up a nice set of Krag dies from HawkeyeEarl. Very smooth transaction. Filled my scrub tub with hot water an dawn. Broke them all down and used my tube brushes to make them shine. Then into the oven at 200° for 40 minutes to thoroughly dry, then lightly oiled an now their ready to go.

**Cast_outlaw** · 11-28-2021, 09:13 PM

Started what will be a long winter project of rebuilding my 57 year old reloading bench. I am going to tear it apart and completely rebuild it. james

**Jal5** · 11-30-2021, 07:38 AM

Prepped about 50 cases for 45-70. Need to finish those today and prep the bench for load work up on 9mm boolits I purchased from a guy here last year.

Yeah, me too. Looked for my reloading bench today, couldn’t find it.

Brass or boolits recovered from the range? There are sorters that work fairly well and aren’t too pricey for the first. Hand sorting hardcast from jacketed is the only option I know for the second.

Cast 461 lee 358-95FP for .380 and powder coated and sized to .357 with lee push through sizer. Also loaded 100 .380.

Got it for $30 CND $23.40us
Don’t know much about it, but the price was right so I grabbed it. it’s the third single stage I got, so going to place it between my lee classic cast and, RCBS rock chucker. Should be a nice addition

I don’t know shotguns or shot shells, especially handloaded versions for revolvers. What am I seeing inside the cases?

They're loads for a Steven's chambered in 44 Shot. The top of the cases show clear glue over an overshot card (#12 and #7 shot mixed). Made from Starline 5 in 1 brass.

Loading a hundred or so .40 S&W with Bullseye and 180gr TCPC to feed the new Shield.

My load benches have always been a work in progress. From adding shelf / storage space, to jockeying the stuff on them to max out usability. I guess loading too many calibers doesn't help much

The last month I've been casting and PC'ing for and loading .40's, 10's, .357 Sig, .38 Super, and 9x25's, and I am adding some high up storage for less used stuff.
