What did you do today in the world of reloading?

[GP40X]

I found another box of Hornady 125 gr. XTP bullets today at Academy of all places (they only had the one box). The box seal was broken but the inner bag was still sealed. It appears that someone may have reutrned it after buying it thinking it was a box of cartridges instead of just bullets.

Didn't reload today but I did unbox my fedex package from Natchez.

200 123gr Hornady SST
200 123gr Lehigh Defense Controlled Chaos
100 pieces of 7.62x39 brass.

I need to pick up some dies and get to work.

Ive been noticing that dies are becoming harder to find just like everything else. If you see them, id definitely buy them as they seem to be drying up. Ive been seeing crazy prices on ebay for used dies in common calibers. That usually isnt the case either

I've been following Reddit discord, it seems that almost all reloading equipment is tough to get right now.

Last week there was a discussion on sizing cases to remove the bulge in some cases like those from Glock 40 S&W pistols. I ordered a "Lee Bulge Buster" kit from Amazon and it arrived the other day. This tool is meant to be used in conjunction with a Lee Factory Crimp die of the appropriate caliber.

Some were of the opinion that it would be better to feed the cases base first and that the push pin of the Lee system and maybe others were too short.

I sometimes do some casting and use Lee Bullet Sizers which happen to come with a push pin which are longer.

I'll see if I can give this a try tomorrow.

Tried to order some 7.62x54 dies the other day on amazon. They were $62.95. I ordered a new bipod instead.

You weren't joking. Most were sold out at all of my usual sites.

Got the RCBS set from midway.

How much was it??

 

[GP40X]

Dang, I guess with all the discussion about dies starting to dry up I should consider myself lucky to pick up my 38 Special Lee Loader for normal list price of 40.98. I did do something today though. I found someone online who had X-Treme 125 gr. .357 diameter FP plated bullets with a cannelure. Got the last 500 piece box. That will bring my plinking/practice ammo down to 25¢ a round and let me save my 125 gr. XTP bullets for +P defensive load development. Now if I can just find a brick of small pistol primers that doesn't cost $125.00 a brick then I can get the cost per round even lower.

$39 for the 2 die set.

Got around to it this evening and the bullet sizer push pin works fine pushing the cases base first.

It does take quite a bit of effort to push the cases through (using a Rockchucker) in either direction.

Bought another 100 bullet box of Hornady 38 cal 125 gr XTP .357 bullets (the only box that Cabela's had) and a Lyman handgun
.445 Bleacher Block.

Moved most of it down the stairs.
Found bullets I'd forgotten about.
That was nice.

Heh - started digging around too this morning. Bought out a guy's reloading stuff years ago and found stuff I forgot I had. Found some powder I haven't ever used before, but I'll figure it out.
