What have you done in the reloading room today

[Captain*kirk]

Tumbled a small batch of .357 and 38 Special in the wet S/S pin dizzy machine.

Here is a picture of them getting ready for a dry time in the old de-hydrator.

Have I mentioned I like shiny things?

Maybe once or twice...

 

[thump_rrr]

Finished printing the Lee Lead Hardness Tester stand.
Whoever designed it wasn't a genius.
The gear isn't splined on to the rod that turns it so it just freewheels.
It's still usefull the way it is.
Loaded a ladder of .223 to test in my HK SL8
IMR 4166 with Federal brass, CCI 400 and 77gr SMK's.
Annealed 40 338 Lapua cases.
I will do the other 40 tomorrow.
Have to get up early to go see a client 2 hours away.

I sized and deprimed the brass from yesterdays range trip. They're in the tumbler now.

I got the magnificent gift of BRASS in the mail today. @Soonerpesek sent me almost a thousand pcs of .38Spl nickel R-P, Western, W-W, and S&W mixed. Mostly R-P and Western, which is great for the Remington Golden Saber and Winchester HE bullets I have.

They are sorted into 50 rnd boxes by style and head stamp. They need to be sized, tumbled, and normalized (primer cups, length, rims, mouths) to fit my dies/loads. Then they will be sorted again by general condition.

I have been given the gift of something to keep my mind and hands busy.

I have FA loading blocks also. Work well.

 

[irishlad]

Put up a couple of shelves. Moved powder, primers, bullets and dies off the bench. Lot less crowded.
Before and after.

Excellent!

Very nicely done.

 

[thump_rrr]

Loaded another ladder for the HK SL8.
This time using Speer 52gr Varmint Hollowpoint bullets, Ramshot Tac, CCI 400 primers in Federal brass.
I've been having a hell of a time getting this rifle to shoot small groups.
Other people claim it's sub MOA or close to it.

I have to work on Saturday so I may try to sneak out early tomorrow and go shooting.

I like it . Had them from some time in the 80s or 90s. The stereo has dual cassette and a 5 carousal cd player. Still works excellent.

This time using Speer 52gr Varmint Hollowpoint bullets

Recently bought some more of those on sale, but they are always one of the better priced "good" .22 cal bullets.

 

[Captain*kirk]

.45-70 brass in the wet tumbler tonight.

Nicely done!

 

[barnfrog]

Sized, flared and primed some .41 mag brass, then charged them with a ladder of 2400, five rungs with a 0.4-grain increment in between, 14.5 to 16.1. It's beddy-by time so I'll seat and crimp MBC 215-grain LSWCs in the morning.

 

[JmacD]

I hunted all over for my #16 shell holder… only to realize it was in the press. That took all the time I had before Dad duty called. I did decap 19 ppu headstamp 556 brass.

 

[thump_rrr]

Loaded 18 rounds of 45–70 to fill this little case.
Loaded 460S&W with my last 30 200gr Hornady FTX over 49.2gr of H110.
I thought I had another box of the 200 grain FTX, but the box was full of 140 EDM‘s

So have I. 2 1/2 FEET of wet, heavy snow.

Be careful out there! I hear people get hurt trying to move that stuff.

I don’t know personally. Never even seen it in person before. But on teevee it sure looks pretty.

I should've gotten a snow blower but I don't have anywhere to put it; the garage is too full of reloading stuff

It DOES snow in Florida. Occasionally. I seen it

My walk in closet reloading room became a catch all for reloading supplies over the years. So I've been going through the stuff, and put a storage rack in there last night. Today I'll get it all organized and make room on my cluttered reloading bench the I'll have room to mount one of my Dillon 560 presses, I'll probably set it yo for 357 magnum.
I'm getting my grandson into Cowboy Action Shooting so he will need lots of 357mag ammo.
I did find some stuff I forgot I had, that's an added bonus.
I have to go meet a guy in three hours to pickup a Rcbs rebel press kit.

Reloading is addictive.
