What did you do today in the world of reloading?

Toolfreak · Apr 19, 2019

I bought 8 pounds of H4895 last week and I have shot about 700 rounds of 5.56 in the last 2 weeks at elm fork so this weekend its time to fire up the Dillon 650 and pump out about 1000 rounds so I can go again!!!!

Sized some 6CM brass.
Headed to the vibratory cleaner now.

Finally threw my 38 Special and 357 Mag brass from the FR Meet in the tumbler. Went ahead and tossed in 9mm that a buddy gave me too.

Ran them all night and the next day.

Sure are shiny.

Just sized about 200 243 brass. Have it tumbling now to get the lube off. Still debating on a load though. I have varget, h4895, and imr4064 on hand but everything says I need a slower powder still. Academy doesn't really sell anything slower. Might have to venture to Cabela's today.

I've got some 87gr bthp. Not making it to Cabela's today. Maybe tomorrow if they're open.

Those are pretty. If you ever feel like sending my a dummy for the collection just let me know.

I've tried it 4064 every way I could. It just wouldn't group like 4350 in my .243s.

I can do that. I've got some brass that looks pretty but has lost neck tension and primer pockets are getting loose.
Won't put me out at all. Shoot me a PM and I'll load up a dummy.

I subscribed to this thread to give me reminders to get out and reload.

Today I broke out the 550, mounted it to my bench, setup the primer feeder and powder drop. Felt pretty good.

Finally routed a slot and mounted my Inline Fabrication Quick mount base plate in my work bench, then the Inline Fab Rail Mount system... except for blowing about a pound of sawdust out my nose and digging it out of my butt crack, I'm very happy with the results.

Good on ya! I really like this type of thread for motivation, too. If nothing else, looking at some of the pic of other dudes reloading rooms shames me into cleaning mine up a bit.

I refuse to give in to peer pressure.

Reloading comes in waves for me. I'll load a bunch for a little while (until I run out of materials) and then my bench will collect piles of junk, then I'll clean it up to load stuff. I just got 2 bottles of wc844 powder so I'll start running 223 until I can get powder to run the 243s.

Cleaning a reloading bench is like erasing all the effort you put in to get it in that condition.

Just slide some shit to the side. You’ll need it again soon enough.

I feel like I'm always loading rifle rounds. Working the brass anyway. I haven't used my 650 in, well I can't remember how long.

I have the same feeling. I have the daunting task of processing several 5gallon buckets of once fired 223.
I miss my square deal, used that to crank out tons of 45. Straight wall pistol cases are awesome.
I much prefer doing small batches of 100 for my 260 rem.
