What did you do today in the world of reloading?

[Gummi Bear]

Trimmed a small bucket full of 223 brass.

Giraud Tri-Way made it easy.



I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately...

Couple primers

Sized my trimmed cases to 300 Blk. Trimmed 1/3 of them. I'll try to do the others tomorrow.

Getting ready for my pistol upper. Had to make more cases, as I loaded up all the ones I had with 125g BTs a while back.

Straw in the front slot on the ram really helps with dropping primers

Couple primers

You’ve been busy.

You’ve been busy.

Have about 1000 more to do tomorrow I'm guessing.

 

[Dawico]

Just deprimed my first case

Resizing too or just depriming?

Congrats AKMike

Just using a universal decapper, I'm going to slowly build up everything.

One reason I really like the Lee dies is it decaps and resizes in one fell swoop.

Don’t they all? Unless you buy a specific decapper?

 

[deemus]

I was referring to the decapping being a separate process. No clue if they are all that way. I prefer to save a step and do them both at once.

 

[AKM]

Well did another big box, have a big sams club pretzel container and some to go.

 

[deemus]

That's a bunch right there.

If that's military brass make sure you use a de-crimping tool on the primer pockets.

Going to get a Dillon swager eventually, also need a scope for my AR before I waste any reloads.

I hear ya, but I just use pick up brass, and it's got God knows what on the outside of it - so I use a decapper and clean it before I put it in the sizer die.

What did I do in the reloading room today?

Packed it, took 3 days. Since I am an undesirable conservative with lots of faults like believing in God and defending our constitutional rights and a gun enthusiast. I decided to take Governor Homo up on his invitation to exit the politically pathetic state of NY. Moving to Texas.

Smart move!

 

[xdmikey]

+1 on depriming singly, then I pin tumble. Next I decrimp, resize and hit each case with my Giraud triway/dewalt and go to town.

AKMike, I'm sure it seems like a lot of cash going out to get set up but it can be done slowly/over time.
