Hmm. Neighbors thought there was a new Buddhist temple down the street. But was only you pulling bullets.
Seriously though isn't it loud?
What have you done in the reloading room today

I’m puzzled. But I guess nowadays Newtonian physics isn’t really considered “science.” It’s old age, not new age, so it no longer applies??

It's not quiet. I guess it's relief after running the steel chop saw, the angle grinder, and a few other tools....

It must be whack-a-mole day... I'm headed out to pop those .308/169grn SMK loads.
Yes... it works very much like a handheld clay thrower... you can't muscle it, you have to whip it... whip it GOOD!
2+2=5 now, at least in public 'schools.' It's why I pulled my daughter out after 4th grade and homeschooled her.
Pulled the 5.56mm brass out of the tumbler, dumped it in the bin with the other 'fired, not sized' 5.56mm brass.
Worked on my spreadsheets this morning, separating them so I don't have to print the entire file when I update something, then went up and did a head count on my lever and bolt gun brass.

I again lost the battle with the 1895 357 cowboy cleaning the bore.... I wore out 2 brushes and went through 100ish patches.... this is now a war!!!! It's going again this Saturday to the range and through the cleaning process!!!!

Dumped a few hundred 38spl cases in my "FART" for starters then primed 200 38spl cases with Servicio & Aventuras SPP single stage on Lee Classic turret press. Then decapped @300 cases single stage. Finished up by sifting & bagging brass from the tumbler. Worked in a few sets of push ups & dumbbell presses/curls when I needed a break from sitting.

There was a thread about those particular primers recently, did/do you have good luck with them...?

I replied there I think. I only have used them for 38spl & 38+P and with HP-38 but have shot several hundred without a single problem. I prime them single stage on a Lee Classic turret press and they seat fine for me using Remington, Perfecta and Winchester brass. Nice deep dents after firing and no light strikes or FTF.

I like the’80’s reference
Throwing clays was a hard lesson for me. First effort took out the passenger window of my Bronco. Ouch!
Second attempt gave me a black eye. I still can’t figure out what I did wrong.
Third try was perfect. Ever since I’m either right on or way off. Might as well hand it off if the first flight of the day goes stray.

Got these today...
1000 10mm 180 grain bullets in RNFP. With ammo cans.
Put them away and then I sorted the other day's 9mm cleaned brass by headstamp.
Used the ammo cans for more storage of brass being that there red. Green boxes for loaded ammo. (Good to go)
Win-win!
Exciting, Huh?
NOT!

After trying different striking surfaces I tried this high tech surface that works extremely well & allows rebounding if you limp wrist the tool. Doesn't do any damage to the striking face of the tool either. It just so happens I've been manufacturing
these devices for 50 years not fully realizing their usefulness. It's a very dry hardwood.
Very efficient heat: warms you when you cut the wood, warms you when you split the wood, warms you when you carry the wood, warms you when you burn the wood & warms you when you carry out ashes…
Did a bit of organizing down in the reloading room. I’ve had a sick kiddo this week(since Tuesday) and now I’ve caught it, so… I did catch my log book up off of my note cards, sticky notes, labels and such…

Are those cans newly manufactured in red, or are they surplus painted over?

Precisely the method I mentioned yesterday or day before in the hammer thread. A 4x4 standing on end seems to be a suitable alternative.
Edit: nope it was this thread

I'm the man with green plastic hammer in hand......doing everyone's favorite thing in the whole widest world......pulling bullets. I'm ditching the last few of the first lite 40 loads from the other day. It's a bit breezy up here this morning, from the north east, and just a little cold on me backside for a morning shoot before shift. Put together another 20 of the 4.8 Zip/165 plated loads last night, but should be better Sunday to give em a second look. In fact, all next week it's supposed to be decent(for February) and should be able to do a few load and shoot sessions. It's gonna be a 5000 round yr

I played pickup sticks, but with bullets. I got a box from @Soonerpesek if 125 & 170gr boxes of Sierras for the .30-30/.30-40. Went to put them with the other boxes I have and accidentally knocked two other boxes of the top of the safe. 250 mixed .30 cals - 173gr Hi-Tek coated GC cast, 150gr SSP’s and 110gr Speer JHP. They weren’t hard to tell apart but they went everywhere.
Got my morning exercise.

Knocked those 75 .308 rounds apart, separated the bullets, and put everything away. Made up a To Do list for my brass prep. First up will be sizing and processing my .308 RP brass, which I need for the Savage.

I finally loaded the 81 clean brass cases off .41 magnum. Most were 210 gr. Flat point.
only 30 were Hornady 210 hollowpoint. ( pre XTP)
I did run completely out of 2400 powder. Finished with the hornadys using H110 .
Going to shoot them from my TC/Contender 10 inch … no scope . Factory sights.

Took apart 68 357 mag reloads. I used 158gr XTP bullet and 8.0gr of Herco to load these, and the recoil, flattened primers and stiff extraction told me they were too hot. 8.0gr of Herco is not the max but apparently this lot is faster or something. Anyway, now I will reload them with a different powder.
Went to a property where my son and two of his friends shoot and picked up 900 223 factory casings, cleaned them up in the vibratory cleaner
marked them as once fired and stashed them away. The two guys he shoots with are $$ rich $$ and they buy new loaded ammo all the time. He asked his friend/ neighbor / owner if he could go back and pick the brass up, he laughed! They do a lot of night shooting with silencers and infra red helmet mounted binoculars. They have silencers, my son doesn't, they say he's loud lol. I'm sure he'll be buying a silencer someday soon.
