What did you do today in the world of reloading?

What's a 1050?

What's a 1050?

I know but tooling a Camdex for 500S&W is just too expensive for how little I run.

Just givin' ya' a hard time!

Loaded 50 .32ACP Lehigh Defense 55 gr. using new Starline brass, True Blue Powder, Winchester small pistol primers. Not easy to load with my Lee Turret. Cases are very fragile. Why am I doing this? Sometimes you carry a mouse and nice to have a more potent mouse in that mouse gun.

I had been neglecting the reloading lately, and had lots of stuff just piled up on the workbench. Since its starting to cool off now and I have 2 new calibers to start reloading, (6.5 CM and 10 mm) I decided it was time to get organized.

I guess everyone uses coffee cans(plastic)these days but I've found that while the creamer jars hold less the screw on lids allow for better stacking.

I moved on to the harbor freight ammo boxes since the guy from arfcom's business took off and he doesn't have time/space to sell the ammo cans.

Loaded 200 rounds of 9mm last night, 135gr Berrys plated round nose over 3.5gr of titegroup. Confirmed my suspicions that the hornady powder drop is far superior to the lee auto disk.

Last night I won another FB raffle for dies, brass, and mags. Opted for a credit I stead and using that to try to win a labradar chrono

I'm a poor reloader. I steal Ziploc bags from the kitchen when my.wife isn't looking. I do have a bunch of small ±1 gal buckets from work I use when processing brass though. After any brass is primed it usually goes into one of those buckets until I can load it. They hold about 450x 223 cases with the lid on. About 500x without the lid. I think about 750x 45acp.

It's not about how deep it goes, it's about what it does inside you

Those buckets are for the brass that already trimmed and cleaned, ready to run through the Dillon 550. All the rest is in a ziploc bag in the cabinets above the workbench.

Well at least I finally have remounted my 650, been sitting for 3 years during a house redo. Had several primers jammed in disc, case shuttle split down the middle etc. set up in 9mm but I have plenty now but want to change to 45LC but appears the parts to do so will run about $180 or so. Not sure that would be a good low volume investment

I'm close to getting done bulge busting my pile of 40 cal. I started out decapping THEN busting them but in the interest of cleaning up I opted to get them ready to hit the LNL.

It was nice and cool this morning working outside.

Funny you say that. I just got a 40 Cal unloader today. I still have several hundred loaded up from the last time I bought a 40. Thinking of maybe getting a 357 sig barrel for it for fun, too.

I use ziploc bags for load development. I will load 5 or 10 of a given load, write the charge weight on a postit note or 1/2 of a primer cardboard and drop the cartridges and note in the ziploc bag... take 5 or 10 of the ziplocs loaded like that and I have a short or full ladder test. Easy to throw in the range bag and keep track of.

 

[xdmikey]

I do that as well.

 

[SQLGeek]

I cleaned some cobwebs off of my press and a bit of surface rust that had formed on the primer handle. Hit everything with some Ballistol since it had been a while.

I really need to go shooting again...

You want some .40 brass? Going to Lone star on Sat.

I need to get some more .44 boolits and do an inventory of stuff I've got. I suppose it's time to clean out the shop.

 

[xdmikey]

Has anyone found a decent decapping tool that contains the waste, so I can decamp while watching TiVo'd mma?

It might be cheaper to run a cable and get a big screen!

Thanks folks.

Did you try the frankford arsenal? I think that one contains them in the little clear case.
