    What have you done in the reloading room today

    `Its a tool, not a toy! :) Its a wrist pin out of a large Cummins. That top surface is FLAT! I check for unseated primers spinning the cartridge base on it. Also works for using the inertia hammer in one hand, pin in the other.

    Moved the Rockchucker back into the house. Got set up to load 38 Special, flared the case mouths of 50 and primed on the press This slowed me down a bit.......... That old REM UMC brass is old. 2 failures. I had to spin and check before automatically priming in this step.

    You'll need some "Propel" after that session! I didn't do much today. This three day snow is wearing on me, but I did get back in "The Room" this afternoon for a bit. Separated by headstamp the 400 plus 38 Special brass that is ready to load. Lotsa "Winchester" brass. Which is nice but once...

    Didn't get to the 38 special loading today................ Shoveled snow instead, twice, but during breaks I started torturing myself with more trimming. 357 magnum. Glad that there is not much to do! Checked my stash and I am in good shape! Like the exhaust clamp for a stand on the propane!

    Not much. Finally got caught up on popping spent primers on different range brass. Hope to start re-loading 38 Special tomorrow if I don't have to shovel a lot of snow. And like the idiot I am, set up my trimmer to tackle 357 brass. That will wait a while, kinda burnt out after doing 400+ 38's...

    Finished trimming the 400+ sized 38 special brass. Gave them a "special" bath and drying. And now are ready to add primers, powder and projectiles!

    No way! Good for you! How are the sights? Especially the rear sight? Loose?

    Let’s see an odd item that you use in your reloading process.

    Do not know if this is odd, but I added 3 o-rings to my trimmer to cancel the "slamming" pulling the pilot (sometimes "tight") back out of a case when trimming.

    Just about done trimming 38 Special brass. I'll be happy when that chore is done as there was a few cuss words spoken. I am glad that I decided to go with 1.145" as some were at that measure. You never know what you are working with when it comes to range brass. had to look that word...

    I'm taking 'em down to 1.145" +/- .001".

    Trimmed ~ 200 38 Special brass. Found another couple hundred that are being sized before trimming to length. I'm starting to dislike trimming! :mad: I want to make ammo!
