What did you do today in the world of reloading?

fishingsetx · Jul 13, 2017

I walked in my reloading shop to get something for the wife. Looked at all my stuff, shed a single tear and walked back out. I swear my press was calling my name.

I put some bullets away and cleaned up a little.

Made a shopping run.

Pumped out a couple hundred 9mm and loaded 2 BP shells for testing.

TxStetson · Jul 16, 2017

I made a whole shitload of empty brass today. 308, 9mm, 45 acp, and 44 magnum. And a couple hundred rounds of 22.

Our Trust is now complete and we have several pistols with threaded barrels. Friend Jim is a "manufacturer" so we get to use the cans before we actually get the stamp. I put a threaded barrel in my Glock 17 a few days ago. Gonna get a threaded barrel for a 1911 pistol pretty soon. HMMMM, maybe that's a good project for today!

We've been using my old 147 grain 9mm reloads, but he got a few cans for our trust in 9mm and .45.

Yesterday, three of us learned how to use the fingerprint scanner, so we printed each other. It's a fussy machine, but we figured it out.

Checked out my old .45 load and was pleased that it would be a good candidate for a suppressed pistol. It's already subsonic as it is.

Ordered a big pile of 147 grain 9mm bullets and some new brass. I have several thousand .45 bullets in 230 grain weight at the house. Time to make some subsonic ammo!

I thought a 45 would be the way to go suppressed so I got a 45 can and a threaded 45. Turns out my 9 w/147gn ammo is quieter even through a 45 can.

Loaded the rest of a box of .40 last night (about 25 rnds) and started loading up some more 6.5-284. Got 50 primed and 10 of those charged and bullets seated. Hoping to get the last 40 complete before fridays range trip (pending weather)

Loading the last 40 6.5x284. Finally getting some time to sit down at the bench. Didnt have time to get them done before friday, so the range trip consisted of making a bunch of 9mm, .40, .45, and .22lr empties.

Tumbled the brass I emptied yesterday and trimmed a bunch of 223.

Settled on a short line load with Nosler Custom Comps in 52 grain. Pushing them at 3350 fps with CFE223. Groups great out of my 26 inch White Oak Armament. Put together 200 rounds waiting for the rain to stop.

Gonna need to meet this feller.

Loaded up the last 50 or so of my 9mm bullets, 100 rounds of .223's with half 69g SMK and half 55g BTHP's and 100 .44 mag rounds. After having some of the .44's walk out and tie up Orbitup's revolver at the last TGT family reunion, I bought a Lee factory crimp die. Man - I love that die - it does a fantastic job of roll crimping.

orbitup · Aug 2, 2017

Yup, makes 'em pretty.

I loaded all of my 147gn 9mm bullets yesterday. I am loving the Dillon.

fishingsetx · Aug 2, 2017

Loading up some 45 acp. 185 gr barrys FP sitting over 7.0 gr of CFE pistol.

Yes, my bench is a disaster at the moment!

Looks cleaner than mine.

TxStetson · Aug 3, 2017

Looks much much cleaner than mine.

My thought exactly.

I am rearranging my garage, and a recently vacated room. Planning on moving my reloading bench into the cool! Still shuffling right now, but its happening in the next two weeks or so. I can hardly wait.

Reinz · Aug 3, 2017

Had a portion of my press collection sitting in the window sills and on the kitchen floor. Since it's not good to have rustables against the windows I finally got them cleaned up and put on a heavy duty dumb bell rack along with the ones from the floor.

These are my spill overs. There is absolutely no room in the shop or garage for these.

Yeah I know it's kind of Ghetto, but I live alone and my nicer stuff is displayed all through the house anyway, so they don't look THAT much out of place considering.

Damn. You must be single.
