What did you do today in the world of reloading?

[rp-]

So how would one go about buying some of your ammo? If’n one was so inclined to do so?

He doesn't sell ammo... He just shoots a shit ton everyday

Hand primed 500 9mm and 374 45gap. Loaded 100 308s and used a collet crimp die to crimp the 460 mags I loaded last weekend. Also powder coated a few hundred bullets and setup my pro1000 for a run of 9mm. Been a productive weekend for me.

Finally loaded up some Lee 1oz slugs that I cast a while back. There isn't much data available using this slug for low recoil loads. I haven't put them over the chrono yet, but they should be around 1350 fps. Functioned fine in my pump and got 3 inch groups at 25 yards which was better than than I expected.

Never really thought much about reloading shotgun. I'm not a big bird hunter and dove load is cheap.

But this is something I could be interested in.

If I remember right I think you load those in a normal shot wad. They are very intriguing.

Finally seeing results from all the work this month.

- Paid a visit to the desert berms Saturday 12/5 and mined out 20 lbs of lead from the more frequented shooting areas. Cleaned and formed new lead into ingots out there with a campfire, a ladle, and a cast-iron pot. Kept the lead, tossed the dross and the shell cases.

- Following day I cast about 900 bullets using the Lee .356 95 grain bullet mold. Powdercoated and sized each of them by the afternoon with Ford Blue:


- Bullets averaged 96 grains, due to the powder coat
- This weekend, I set the .380 brass to tumble for 4 hours with some Nu-Finish
- Set up the progressive press to load these with 3.0 grains of Bullseye, standard Win. primers
- Completed 300 rounds of .380 for practice out of my P238 in a little under an hour:


- I will finish the remaining 500 this weekend

I really enjoy shooting shotguns, slugs especially. I'm still playing with loads, but they are certainly accurate enough for home defense in a pinch. I have to get these accurate to hit a steel ipsc target out to 100 yards for 3- gun.

I'm using winchester AA hulls, WT12 wads and 18gr of Red Dot for a low recoil load. These slugs don't cost much to make. Lead collects under the plate racks at my gun club and I just shovel it up and melt it down. I do have to trim the petals of the wad to accommodate the slug but thats only a few minutes with sharp scissors.

I'll keep my eyes out for the mold. Pretty easy to cast with? I've never used a hollow base mold before.

I made these improvised loads last year:

Shot & Ball (Improvised 12 ga Loads - PIC HEAVY)

Good afternoon Gents. Let's start this off with a quick quote: Proverbs 16:27-29 "Idle hands are the devil’s workshop" Over the past few years I have been pondering over which is better for shotgun home defense: Slugs vs. Buck Shot vs. Bird Shot For any of us that have a shotgun next to our...

They are truly Slugs on the cheap and are excellent for home defense if that is your go-to firearm.

Sneaky ammo.

Moving the man cave downstairs.
So, my "reloading" is more about "relocating" lately.
Haven't got to the heavy stuff yet.

 

[DubiousDan]

I ordered 500 9mm Makarov bullets from Bear Creek Supply last week and they arrived yesterday. Loaded them this morning.

 

[avvidclif]

I ordered a Swage-It II for a spare Dillon 550 (incomplete) I had and set it up just for resizing, de-priming, and swaging primer pockets on military brass.

 

[Deavis]

Ran some a little Casull before converting the machine. Had to use the full size powder bar with barely a bushing in it.

 

[Hoji]

Found 3 boxes of Barnes 190 gr 30-30 projectiles at Midway and ordered them. Will make my own almost subsonic quiet rounds that will actually work now.

 

[Hoji]

Just took two boxes of once fired 30-30 brass from the 70s out of the tumbler to use as hosts for the 190 gr Barnes bullets when they arrive. I think the price tag on the boxes ( from K-Mart) is $4.29

 

[Mills]

Unboxed these little darlings.

 

[Vaquero]

Ordered some .380 bullets.
E-xtreme had some plated 100 gr in stock.

 

[andre3k]

Switched the 1050 over to small primer. Not hard, but first time I've done it and it took a while.

What round are you using those in?
