What did you do today in the world of reloading?

Younggun · Apr 21, 2019

When I load pistol rounds I usually sit down and load as much as I can until I run out of something.

With rifle I tend to load as much as I need. Usually 50-100 rounds depending on the caliber and use. So I tend to load for rifle more often. I also load rifle rounds a lot slower so I may spend a few afternoons loading the rifle rounds when case prep is factored in.

Finished 50 rounds of .223. I was about out of 69g SMK loads. I'm prepping for some longer range shooting next month.

My technique as well.

I don't load pistol rounds often but when I do it's a bunch at one time. I also don't shoot them as often it seems.

Rifle rounds (except plinking 223 rounds) get much more care and are smaller batches. Seems I am always testing something so usually just 50 at a time.

Primed some 458 SOCOM cases. Planning to load them this week.

I went out and cast up a loaf pan full of RCBS 201KT bullets for the .45 ACP. That's over 500. Not bad for a couple hours work with a two cavity mold.

Loaded up 20 rounds of 6.5 CM using a different powder for testing. I'm usually a person who once finds a good load, I stop. I'm just not sure I've got the best one yet. I'm getting into the "why bother" zone though.

Picked up a Lyman flash hole tool and uniformer. Prepped 67 FC brass and 47 win brass. Uniforming sucks more than reaming. I only have to do it once, right?

Looked at all that reloading junk on the workbench.
Went Oh hell no.
Went back in the house and ordered ammo on-line. LOL.

SQLGeek · Apr 25, 2019

Heh. I ordered a case of 9mm yesterday while thinking "I need to load up some more .45"

I think I'll do that this weekend.

Moonpie · Apr 25, 2019

I've been mulling over buying a new Dillon Square Deal B.
The old one is so worn out as to be useless.
Still can't decide if I want to get it in 10mm or .38/357.

xdmikey · Apr 25, 2019

I'll be back here soon. I prepped an old style coffee can(the big tin ones you can put your whole hand in and not scrape the sides!)brimming with LC 556.

I guess if I was the criminal type now would be the time to go on a stealing spree cause I sure as shootin got no fingerprints cause they got burned off using the triway trimmer; they're still tingly.

Sadlak is mounted and sighted in for 1" groups at 100yds with surplus ammo so I'm abut to get on with some loading!

There is only one correct answer.

Send it to Dillon. They will rebuild it.

Dillon will rebuild it for you...it has a lifetime warranty...you just pay shipping. That's a lot cheaper than buying another one.

rp- · Apr 25, 2019

Nah, Dillon is junk. Just buy a new one and I'll trade you an old RCBS for the Dillon scrap!

I use those gloves with the rubbery shit on the palm/fingers. Well, I just wear the one, like Michael Jackson but cooler.
