What did you do today in the world of reloading?

[Vaquero]

Vibratory cleaned several batches.
Neck sized a big batch for grins. Bent the mandrel on my collet die. Ordered a new mandrel, and a factory refurbished O block press for good measure.
Just finished chamfering the batch of neck sized brass.
Ready to start a marathon priming session.

Loaded the Hornady 208 gr. bullets and hoping to go check them out in the next week or so at my friend's ranch. The 212's worked great. All subsonic 300 BLK.

 

[Vaquero]

400 primed so far.
Distractions and such.
I'm trying to take it easy.

Loaded about 700 9mm in the last 2 days. 147gn for pfft pfft and 115gn for pew pew.

 

[Vaquero]

116 more 65 gr gamekings done.
Contemplating a batch of 55 gr Dog town.

Gonna' throw together some more 208 gr. Hornady Boat-tail match for the 300BLK.

What did I do? Same as usual. Shop on Grafs and put a shopping list together.

My first order of business is to pickup an Inline Fabrication quick change mount to mount my vise to my bench. This will do double duty for a press when I finally get one.

I've been collecting brass for a while now. Thinking maybe I ought to sort it and see how much I have.

Those cat litter tubs work great. I have several of those for various calibers. Seem to hold about 7K 9mm. Much less of 223.

Trading my creedmoor back to Ruger for a 7-08. Anyone here need some creedmoor brass?

Great idea. I have been using 5 gallon buckets with tubs.

Hornady? How much?

 

[Vaquero]

100 more verminators

Father, I have a confession. I bought some factory ammo today for more than just the brass.

 

[mcunningham615]

Picked up 500 more 55 gr. VMAX bullets and 100 70gr. GMX bullets. Guess I'll be loading more 5.56 soon.
Also did a complete trigger job on my Sub2000. Fun carbine to shoot but the trigger sucked REAL BAD! Put all the MCARBO upgrades in and what a difference it makes.

Some 230 ball from an RCBS mold. I really like that chrome paint at the top.

I was on eBay the other day and some guy had posted this four cavity Saeco 451 mold, with handles, for $60 Buy It Now and free shipping. Since the handle are $49 and the four cavity molds are running $182 I jumped on it. First pour was today. Everything I had been able to dig up about this mold said it was a clone of the Lyman 452460. That would make it a 200 gr SWC and I have a fondness for that particular bullet weight and size. When the mold arrived the other day I took a look at it and the first thought was it's not 452460 clone, second thought was it looked a bit small for a 200 gr. Well it's actually a 185 gr SWC, which is great because I had been wanting a 185 gr SWC bullet mold. The bullets drop like rain from this mold and I can't wait to get some loaded and shoot them.

This bad boy is the NOE 155 gr for the 9mm. The top bullets are the flat point, bottom are the cup point. The deeper hollow point pins were driving me nuts. I couldn't get them to seat in the mold right. That's a project for another day. This is another one I need to get loaded so I can shoot it. Should be an awesome bullet in my Ruger carbine.

Well I had a mishap trimming 223 brass this weekend that lead to 2 instant blisters which immediately tore off. I was using the world's cheapest trimmer and I think I must have had a bead of sweat drip on my hand or wiped my forehead. Either way, I was on a roll but had a piece of brass catch and then spin in my hand. This was the result. Gonna hurt for a few days but I'll be fine. Might be a week before I can stand to trim anymore though.

Lesson, be careful. Still a great trimmer for the money though.

Also, got a used 7-08 world's finest trimmer on it's way from a guy in California. Also picked up a handful of brass for it.
