What have you done in the reloading room today

Monday I took my grandson to the WAGUNS. Org annual New Years Day Shoot and brought home forty pounds of range brass, a Dillion Square D press, a Texan single-stage press, a Ohaus scale and a few more items.
I will seperate the brass this weekend and get it tumbled and stored.

I have to send a fellow member some 38spl brass today.
 
Helping junior assemble 38-44 170 swcs over 6.8 Silhouette. Had 100 ww 38 cases ready to go... Maybe he will remember these skills when he jumps the nest, but I'm not making them for him.... I might cast for him though..... 17043151587281294221063749071286.jpg
 
I pulled that old canister of 2400, that came from my Uncle, off of the top closet shelf and took a look at it. I discovered that the canister is unopened...I have a whole pound of 2400! Yippee!
 
Sized these 20 30-06 cases this evening.

Edit, ended up with 19 cases after priming as I found another rim that was pretty badly warped from when I first shot my M1 Suppressed without adjusting the gas plug... Oh well. I've got a bunch of ammo to save the brass from so it's not that big of a deal... And I think I need to back off a smidge on my powder charges cause the primer pockets seem slightly loose but that could be from the stupid primer pocket reamer that I've been using...... I know @AJC1 will chime in saying that I need the RCBS crimp remover but I haven't had much luck finding one so if you know a online site that have one in stock I'll be very grateful. It seems like the small primer remover is more easily found than the large primer remover for some reason.
Double Edit, Chattanooga has the 50bmg crimp cutter but none of the other two sizes lol. Weird. Every time I check that the only one that they have. I just checked and that's the only one in the whole catalog, even after turning off the in stock only option...
 
Finished 100 rounds of .45 Long Colt which will be used for woods carry :cool:

Pulled everything out from under the bench in preparation for sweeping and mopping. The mess from my woodworking project got tracked around. So… now the brass drying squirrel cage fan is drying the floor. IMG_3253.jpeg
Have almost a load of 9mm ready to run in the wet tumbler.

See I got the Hornady versions and the small primer swager works OK and the large one would never really work right even after adjusting it often.... So I don't really want the swager type anymore..... I'd like to get the Rcbs cutter tool that exactly cuts the crimp ring out and nothing else. I appreciate the offer though :thumbup:.

Primed and loaded up a ladder of N110 and Berry's 220gr Plated SP in .300 blackout. Hopefully will find a decent shooting subsonic load!

Nice! I wanna say we used 9gr of H110 with 220gr SMKs last time we tried some out? Curious how the VV 110 does!
 
I finished mounting my Dillon 550 with strong mount. A dude on Ebay has a couple of nifty 3D printed doodads that I bought.
 
Did a little annealing on some 556/223 cases.

IMG_3257.jpeg Last load in the wet tumbler. Mostly 9mm. Threw a couple 308 in as well. IMG_3258.jpeg
Two loads done already and dry. Sorting is up on the menu next.
 
Ruined a couple 30-30 cases…I’m not seeing how to bell the cases with the powder funnel my friend loaned me, so I’ll wait until he’s back in town and can give me some education on this.

Boat tail bullets are fine. Loaded up the rest of my .308 rounds (35). That went well and now I need more bullets. Looking at Midway factory seconds…
