Tumbled some brass and resized/deprimed some, also.
Loaded a few 44mag rds.
PC'd 500 bullets and sized them.
Tried to get my industrial sewing machines working . (Well, they are in the same shed as my reloading gear).
Loaded 350+ 223's. This gets my PD ammo replenished. Washed and sorted a tub of range brass that I scored yesterday. This bunch had some pretty common brands. The last batch was mostly no name stuff that mostly went into the scrap bucket. Thats ok, I can make 1 scrap bucket = 1 box of Lapua brass by watching the scrap prices and the sale prices. After lunch I plan to try adjusting the trigger on the new to me Pre-64 M70 that I have not shot yet. Looks pretty simple, wish me Luck!
Finished casting, sizing, lubing and gas checking 68 pounds of 45's and got the pot ready for the next #20.

Not the reloading room but at work in the shop...2 days of solid rain. It's nice to cast while on the clock
55.6lbs of MP 454-225 215gr penta HP's
Loaded 300 rounds of 38special wadcutters for my K frame S&W revolvers.
It wasnt today.. last week I was having a good day pain wise so I wired up the new reloading room that I will be sharing with my wifes uncle... been down the entire week since.
I smelted about 120 lb of range scrap into ingots today. While waiting for the batches of lead to melt, I loaded 65 rounds of 38 special with a new wadcutter to test, and cast up roughly 1000 358495 wadcutters. I need to get them lubed and ready to load.
Loaded another 15 Lee 1oz slugs. 110 slugs waiting to go
Loaded a batch of 7.5x55 Swiss with J words.

Loaded up a box of 7.5 Swiss with my boolits, sized and checked a whole bunch of 30 cal boolits for future use.
Been long overdue.
Question: 7.5 Swiss revolver or rifle?
Thanks

Put everything away and waxed the bench top w/ Johnson's No Buff Wax. It was just sitting on the shelf so I figured why not :laugh:
loaded up 200 rounds of 9mm 120 gr tc ,loaded up 100 rounds of 40 s&w 175 swc which was what I shot at range yesterday . sized and lubed about 550 9mm bullets . only 4200 more 9mm bullets sitting in buckets waiting for me to either size and lube or powder coat whenever I make up my mind which way I wanna go with them .
Shot some long range (for me) at 200, 300, 400, 500 and 620 last weekend. Been loading my 6.5x55 with H4895 but realized at that range session that the last 1/3 of the barrel was much cooler than the big end after firing about 20 rounds. Loaded a ladder of H4350 with 120 gr Sierra MatchKings to see what happens at longer ranges. We're at the start of the windy season here so no telling when I'll get to choot 'em.
I'll be checking group size and chrono them at the same time.
